People did mention that fatherhood would absorb all my free time. Of course I just smiled, nodded and went along with their outlandish claims...
Turns out they were spot on! Wouldn't have it any other way though.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Sorry, I did mean reduce the DoF. Presumably it defocuses the foreground too though?

In response to the OP (and to avoid claims that I'm derailing a thread), I'm struggling to look beyond a G12 lens on a G12 body currently.

Depends where you're focusing really.Sorry, I did mean reduce the DoF. Presumably it defocuses the foreground too though?
"Background defocus mode" just refers to a mode on certain Sony cameras that essentially shoots wide open (albeit with a little software jiggery-pokery).

I believe Samsung are working on some kind of synthetic bokeh thing. The camera will apparently have two lenses though! I guess so it can tell what is foreground and what is background.

This is an interesting test http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p56vAwK1y70 I guess that is why it is a predominantly "background" defocus. Presumably the Q will do something similar, but have they said for sure how there software bokeh will work?

I think asgr meant to say 'reduce the dof', and is possibly talking about these newer cameras with a 'bokeh' mode.
Apparently.
