As long
your subject small enough,
you go close enough,
the background is far enough
and you are using widest aperture with the longest focal length lens
you can get shallow DOF effect from any cameras
if you can create blurred background or not does not depend on prosumer or pro camera.... it depends on your sensor size.Pretty amazed with this effect which my normal camera cant take. Thinking of getting a better cam. Can experts here advise on this? Any particular model or specs i should look out for in achieving this effect?
Thanks in advance! :thumbsup:
I see ... so can a D40 achieve such results? I can get a 2nd hand D40 at classified

it is practically impossible to achieve shallow DOF (and hence blurred background) with the tiny sensors installed in most point and shoot cameras. What you need is a sensor of minimum APS size. you find this size in DSLR but maybe also in some of the bigger point and shoot. A D40 would work nice and this camera is considered consumer....

a D40 can certainly achieve this...I see ... so can a D40 achieve such results? I can get a 2nd hand D40 at classified
of course the Four Thirds can do as well... i took APS size in a more general way.... not just Nikon size sensor... also the canon sensor is a bit smaller than nikon...I'll like to correct you here. The Four Thirds sensor size, which is smaller than the APS-C size can archive this too.
If you wanna play with DOF, DSLR is best. Since you can go for prosumer, size is about the same, so just go for DSLR.
