hey orangeman, if you have one of the easyshares with like a 12x optical zoom, then that is the closest you are gonna get. I have a 6mp easyshare, a 8mp sony cyber shot that will get up to 2 cm close in focus, and a nikon d80 thats just amazing at every thing. But in all my recent pics i use the sony, just because macro is soo good on it. post a pic up of your new camera...
