Nice pictures Jaco how do you achieve those blurry backgrounds? I have a Sony HX1 and I never never never achieve that blurry bg at least in zoomed pictures. They only way I cant create that effect is if I am 1/2 from the object

The basic answer is you need better lenses. I don't think there is a way around it other than working in photoshop.

Thanks for answering man, Did you take a lot to my cam specs? I just wanna be sure that It is my cam and not me, because I am a noob at this

you won't be able to blurr the backgrounds like that with a p&s camera. the small senser/ short lens lengths, produce to big of a dof. except under extreme circumstances (like the background is 50x the distance the subject is to the camera)

What about something like Focalpoint?
