"Beautiful blur is not the exclusive domain of big cameras and lenses" – Nice article on DPNow by Ian Burley, which explores the concept of background blur, and how different types of equipment give you different results, and place different demands on your photographic technique.

Ian shows examples from:

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1.
  • Olympus E-30.
  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 / DMC-TZ7.
  • Motorola Moto ZN5 camera phone.
  • Canon EOS 50D, EF 400mm f/5.6L IS USM lens.
