Thanks Thomas for that question. 
I think we all are concerned with it. 

Whatever the digi cam (C*non, N*kon or ... E1) 
the DOF seems to be a mysterious problem.  
I recently read that DOF at for example f2.0 for 
a SLR Digi cam (~1.6X) appears to be the same  
as if the lens would be at f11 for a film SLR !!! 
So good for Macro but what for portraits ?? 

And with a full-size CCD (expected by C.H.) 
what could be the DOF ?
