Sony Cybershot has auto macro.

I just point and shoot close & far.

I bought myself the Panasonic DMC-ZS1. It takes great close-ups and also goes from a 25mm wide angle to a 12x optical zoom. The picture attached was from about three inches. It was easier to take the picture than it was to get my face in there to read it.

You want macro?

See the attached pics from my ancient (10 year old) S100 Elph.

I realize this thread has a bit of age on it, but I have to say that there is one tool versatile as all get-out, but largely forgotten now, and that is the 6' wooden folding carpenter's rule. It is great to put in photos, used as a pointer, measure between joists and rafters that are just out of reach with a tape, and even can be used as a 'hook' to reach in that sump pit and pull the float up. Clients always say "Wow, my dad had one of those". I always stick it in my back pocket, rather use that than a tape but I grew up using it. Just my two cents worth - -
