eye, there is a threshold that is obviously not the same for everyone,
but I like a little, but not too much depth of field blur. But if I had access
to a superzoom P&S with a APS-C sensor and a nice, long, manual zoom lens,
I would prefer to have the larger sensor for sure. Like I said, to me its
about having more cameras, so a DSLR is definitely wrong for me. I can only
shoot one at a time, and mostly only TAKE one with me on any shoot, but
I like the buying and the owning as much as the shooting, haha.

I guess this is an eye of the heholder type thing. I think the background in that photo is distracting (no offense!), it draws you away from the main subject. Look at these photos for a direct comparison, the fully blurred background makes for a better shot.

While there are things you can do to achieve bokeh with a P&S, you simply can't compete with a full framed DSLR at f1.8. The glass is better and the aperture is wider than any point and shoot can get.
