Does this camera give a nice depth a field with a crisp subject and blurry background?

In my experience it Has a little bit of issue with that. If you want to do that, I would go with one you can manually do that.

Yes it's an awesome camera I really like it. I would recommend this camera to anyone

No. It's difficult to manipulate effects. It will not work like a non-digital camera.

The photos are very sharp. Much better than a standard point and shoot. Does it match DSLR?- don't know as I have not done the comparison. I would estimate that it is near an average DSLR in sharpness. Overall I have been very impressed with the performance.

Can't answer that question. This camera sucked for me, no matter the settings.

Yes, the image is very clear. The camera you select will also influence image quality.

No; the lens is crystal clear. The pictures are blurry only if you dont focus the photo correctly or if you have unsteady hands. Also, there is a little bit of blur around the edges of the camera, which shows up in the pictures, but I don't mind this because I think it gives it a cool effect.

The quality of the camera itself will produce a clear images. But it depends on the lens that you get for close-up shots. I've got an amazingly sharp photos using a macro lens :)

Yes, especially in bright light. It somewhat depends as well on how steady the photographer is, of course. The HD movies are also really crisp, and I've used stills from these as very nice photos.

Yes. This camera is very clear. When zooming in a tripod is always better to use than free hand.

Yes, the zoom and picture quality are great features to have when shooting sports photography. It also has a feature where the camera anticipates the photograph to eliminate blur. I've used it for basketball and bowling (in low-light conditions) and it works great.

I have taken some incredible pictures with it. It has a larger range and though a little slow - I did not find that to be a problem with IS.

Yes. Just remember that your depth of field is going to be very narrow at widers apertures.... But you can get very nice pictures with it for those purposes.

No. I have had to use an editing program for background blur but I havent tried the manual settings. On their own the pictures are just ok. But they do clean up very well if you edit them.

no, and the color is not as crisp as my Nikon Coolpix. I am not a big fan of this camera.

Yes it's a great camera. Pictures have turned out brite and crisp. I took it kayaking last summer and no problems. I have also used it at the water park and got some wonderful pictures of the kids underwater and in the spray. I have been using this camera more than my large 26x high pixel because it's steady and easier to carry for many events. Although I do carry both a lot too.

No, but as long as the lighting is good or if you're outside it take really nice pictures.....Hope this help you....

Focus is good, but blurred background is a much more complicated issue involving a clear understanding of the elements of depth of field. Apeture/shutter speed combinations control depth. High shutter speeds will help by givng a larger apeture

The camera is good. I've used it for instagram and posting to fb. Sometimes it looks grainy but need to make sure the settings are on the highest resolution/pixels possible.
