Shallow DoF would have very little in focus. Take a look at the EF Lens Forum thread "Show us your best Bokeh"for lots of examples. Jon

I'm pretty sure that wide-angle lens won't degrade pic quality so much, and G7 is MUCH more serious camera than SD800 I'm sorry for possible bad english

Personally, I can't hold something as small as the SD series of cameras. I find the S2 just big enough for me. As for the G7, I've heard some comments that its not as nice to hold but the IQ seems great. Min

Small-sensored P&S cameras naturally have a higher DOF. If what you imply is that the SD will tend to take most shots at large apertures (e.g f/2.8), then you are correct. However f/2.8 boasts a relatively high DOF compared to say, f/2.8 on a dSLR camera. august23 wrote in post #2503105 sjprg, thats a bold statement saying the IQ of a p&s compares with an slr If the dSLR owner rarely post-processes his/her photographs and doesn't 'pixel peep' in any sense of the phrase and compares the photos downsized, the IQ of Auto-optimized P&S like the SD800 often does compare quite well.
