Many of you probably know the online depth of field calculator provided by Panavision New Zealand here : http://www.panavision.co.nz/main/kbase/reference/calcFOVform.asp

As you will see, under "Format", there is only one option for 1/3" CCDs, and it reads : "Video 1/3" TV 4:3 CCD Sensor 4.8 x 3.6 mm (CoC = 0.011 mm)".

Would that be usable with a DVX100 ? Does anyone know the exact dimensions of our CCDs, or is there somewhere another online calculator more relevant to our use (particularly if and when shooting in 16:9, squeeze mode) ?

Thanks a lot in advance.
 
That should be accurate for the DVX. Using squeeze mode changes nothing as far as the DOF characteristics are concerned. You will also still have the same horizontal field of view, although the vertical field of view will be narrower.
