    Haha is spot on.

    You're not going to get the same effect as you would using a SLR for many of the reasons haha mentioned.

    Along with using widest aperture and putting distance between the subject and the background, you can also get closer to the subject. Basically the closer you get to the subject the narrower the DOF(depth of field is). The problem with that is you will probably start to get some distortion from the lens.

    Another thing is you can use a flash to give some seperation, but it probably isn't what you're looking for.

    The main culprit with P&S cameras IS the size of the sensor along with the short focal length.
