You guys are all on the right track.
Larger the apeture (i.e. 1.4 or 2.8) less depth of field.
Also the longer the lens, the less depth of field.
And also the size of the chip in the camera, makes a big depth of field.
The small size of the chips in a lot of point and shoot cameras also are a big factor.That is why back in the film days, a shot on 8x10 or 4x5 with a wide apeture, has a lot less depth of field than a equivolent fstop on a 35mm.
Try shooting on apeture mode (or portrait mode). Shoot as wide open as you can. Use the longest lens you can (zoom out if you can) and put some distance between your subject and background.
I hope this helps.
