Bonehead,

The Elph is a very simple camera...not tons of whistles and bells, but so easy and convienient and SMALL! It has a very easy macro function, as well as easy to navagate options for picture effects. I use the "foilage" or "sunset" settings a lot in my garden to get true color in the pictures that I take. With every camera I had had before the Elph, I could not get the colors to come out as vividly as you see them in real life. Everything looked washed out. (My last camera before the Elph was an Olympus, and I had to replace it because of a lens problem as well, but it was self induced as I had it hanging around my neck open when on horseback...not recommended when the horse starts to trot!) This is from last summer, a pretty good representation of the macro capabilities.
