The 72mm length.

Can you post an example of what you consider "great DOF"? I assume you really mean "shallow" DOF. Great DOF would imply the entire image appears sharp, foreground to background.

Anyway, a 72mm lens at f/2.8 can indeed give you very nice shallow DOF. Most P&S digicams have a maximum focal length much shorter than that. DOF from the same lens at say 20mm should look quite different.
