DOF depth-of-field

...post on Dpreview by sderdiarian
At the long end of its zoom, the XZ-1 has an aperture with a diameter of 9.6mm at
112mm equivalent, which compares favorably to the 9.8mm maximum aperture at the
83mm equivalent of a typical APS-C 18-55 F3.5-5.6 kit lens. It means the XZ-1 should
give at least as blurred a background and do so at something much closer to the
traditional portrait focal length. Furthermore it means the XZ-1 should give greater
control over depth-of-field than a Micro Four Thirds kit lens, since they tend to offer
7.5mm at 84mm equivalent.
