Hi,
Well seeing as how I have only my Nikon L110 p&s to use for the next however long it takes to sort out the DSLR, I thought I would get out and rediscover the close up feature. I must admit it does work pretty well, you can get very close to the subject and still focus. Not that you would want to get to up close and personal with some critters but for this fella it was ok.
Cheers
J
