Wow!! Nice shots and super nice corals Emster!! What is the first one? I have a Canon A620 that I bought over a year ago and really wish I could trade it out for the 720!! I can't take macros with my 620 at all. It is most likely user error, but I have spent so much time trying different modes, I have pretty much given up. It takes nice everyday pictures, but I would love to be able to take macros!! Maybe I need to read the manual...
