It is important for owners of point and shoot cameras to understand why their cameras don't give the "nice, creamy backgrounds" at their camera's f/2.8. The reason is that their camera's f/2.8 is equal to a different aperture for a full frame 35mm camera. Thus, their DoF will be quite a bit larger at any given aperture.

There have been a couple of questions about this in the past week or so.
