Sorry guys didn't mean to hijack the thread but may I know what are good compact cameras with good amount of bokeh for shooting a video?. I know a good smartphone can do that but only with the small objects not the big ones like human or car. Currently I'm using Canon 200D DSLR with 50mm lens and I'm happy with it but I think it's too bulky for me to carry around during my trip. I'm looking for a smaller camera with good amount of bokeh that I can hook up into my phone gimbal.

Thank you in advance wink.gif

Compact cameras don't have much bokeh because the sensor size is too small thus creating a large depth of field. You need a large sensor camera like DSLR (full frame but crop will do either) and a large aperture lens like (e.g. f2.8, f1.8 or lower).

Then, there is the quality of the bokeh. Bad quality tends to be harsh and ugly. Good quality is similar to gaussian blur and very smooth/non-distracting. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
