Personally I don't think that picture is that clear. That's an honest opinion that I'm stating for sake of this discussion and not meant to flame just for the hell of it. Regardless, I bet it can, provided it has the macro setting (which pretty much all of them do), but that's neither here nor there. I'm not going to argue back and forth what your camera and can't do, just saying that there a ton of very capable P&S out there.
I took this 3 years ago with my $400 P&S. You can see the freaking dust for pete's sake and I'm not even that good of a photographer. Good for me, right? My point is I didn't need my dSLR to get a great macro shot.

At this point I guess we just agree to disagree... but next time there's a gathering bring your Powershot and I'll show you what it can do. :wink:

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
