Given my limited understanding of photography that is not really possible with small sensor sizes. Phones can achieve that using computational photography, but I don't think it's possible using optics on webcams.
- jcims 6y agoI think you're 100% correct (minus some weird lab-grade setup or software-base DoF)
- murkt 6y agoYes, optical depth-of-field is only possible with reasonably big sensor sizes and wide-open lens. Reportedly, Huawei P40 Pro has an IMX700 sensor with the 1/1.33" diagonal. I didn't run the numbers for it, but it is big enough that with a bright lens it will produce bokeh.
- chaz6 6y agoMobile phone cameras do this with a ToF (time of flight) sensor and a software trick. I have yet to find a webcam that can do this.
