Is it possible to take a good macro shot with a p&s camera?
I realize that with the p&s it isn't really a "true" macro anyway, but more of a close-up, but my problem is getting the shot to come sharp. The camera's user guide says that in Macro mode the shot should be composed using the LCD screen --yah right. What I "see" on the LCD screen while composing the shot, whether its in macro mode or normal shooting, never looks sharp and clear like it does through the view finder; it always looks fuzzy to me. So how is someone supposed to get a good sharp macro shot if they can't see the subject clearly enough on the LCD to tell if it's in focus? Any thoughts, experience with, or suggestions appreciated. I'm using a Canon Powershot A570is with a 2.5" LCD.
