OK, look - here is a two minute example I just shot with what I have at the moment at my office.
To exaggerate the DOF effect, I shot both of these at the maximum zoom (105mm) at the maximum aperture (f/4) at the closest focusing distance (the front of the lens is at the zero mark). Same ISOs, same lens.
First set - uncropped from both cameras.
Second set - cropped to the same "apparent" subject size.
EXIF data attached if you want to check.
