Felix0890 said:You can do this with a point and shoot. It won't be as easy since you can't manipulate the aperture on most point and shoots but you can definitely still do it. What you need to understand is that buying a DSLR won't necessarily give you that blurry background/foreground that you want. That is usually done by having a very large aperture, which only the fast (and usually more expensive) lenses can obtain. Again, you can still do that with a kit lens (I've done it with an 18-55mm) but it's not as easy as having a fast lens.
To summarize, stick to a point and shoot camera.
And zooming with the hand doesn't really play any role in it. Focusing, aperture, and distance from camera to subject and subject to background do play a role in creating a blurred background.
