I am loathe to dispute any statement by Our Ade, but I am told that
this is not really the case. The position of the sensor means that
your field of view is more restricted than it would be with a 35mm
film camera *but* the optics of the lens remain the same, so that you
will get the same (slight) amount of foreshortening with a 50mm lens
on a digital camera as with a film camera.
