No doubt about it you have an amazing shot of a dime; but a what cost???? I just ran into the bathroom along the way I grabbed a black background and my Olympus SP-800 UZ w? 14 megapixels. image stabilization and 30X zoom. I used the wide angle got down to within 2 inches. Yes, your shot is somewhat more detailed---but again at what cost, not only in money (299.10) but time and effort (maybe 15 minutes and a sore back). Now, were it not raining (which I knew was coming.) I could go any where and take more pix. I would send you a pix, but I have not yet figured out how to do it the UHH way. But--you have fun your way; I'll have fun my way.

Check out my reply to Hangman, re macrotubes. he sent in a pic of a dime, using tubes. I tried dupicating his results with my camera. His is micscopically better, but I wouldn't give him two cents for the difference. Well that's my dime's worth.
You are over-critical of Hamgman45 for no reason whatsoever. He is just learning macro-photography, and the dime photo is an exercise to show true 1:1 macro reproduction, sharp edge-to-edge, and the lighting problems encounter with MFD. How convenient for you that you "cannot" post your "duplicated" results. In photography, results are what count. Put-up, or shut-up. Website addresses to my macro-photography is easily found, lower left this post. Please show us anything similar captured with a P&S.

I have just been ignoring these post from ALYN I posted the pic to prove that with very little money you can buy a set of tubes and take a decent macro shot do not know what ALYN's problem is the original poster was asking about help with tubes not a P&S.

Notice how the center is sharp, but all the edges, especially the corners, are soft. Macro lenses capture flat-fields, which means the DOF will cover corner-to-corner. Standard and zoom lenses have curved-field DOFs, which leaves corners out-of-focus when center is sharp. Most noticeable with enlargement.
