I have a Nikon Coolpix S3300 which is great for everyday pictures but I want to experiment with depth of field - I didn't see anything on that in the manual and I've played with all the settings and I simply don't know what I'm doing. Is it even possible to achieve DOF with a point and shoot digital camera?

Well, you really can't when you don't control the aperture setting and you can't do that with a point and shoot. What you can do is play with distance from the subject and objects behind by moving yourself with respect to the subject, that would give you the closes proximation. Essentially you can't do much except change your position with respect to the subject. If you move closer to the subject, objects behind will go out of focus. If you move farther away from the subject, objects behind will be in focus. That's about the best you can do. You need to have a camera with adjustable aperture settings to do anything more.
