[QUOTE=another view]1) Say you shot with a 200mm lens. On a DSLR, it would look more like you shot it with a 200mm and cropped it to the angle of coverage of a 300mm, rather than shooting it with a 300mm. The difference is in the perspective. It's probably more apparent with wide lenses but not exclusive to them.

If you shoot from the same distance, 200mm on a digital is exactly the same as 300mm on film (assuming a 1.5 cropping factor) because they have the same angle of view.
