Bah! I just bought a finepix s5200 to try better macros and still can't even touch these, I hate you right now. Great job!

I thought I'd be slick and save money again ($175). The manual focus on the s5200 isn't the best thing ever and the detail on macros seems too soft and never as huge as everyone else's.

Something I like to do for that focus issue is take three shots, one where I think focus is, one slightly closer (by physically moving the camera closer but leave the focus where it is) and one slightly farther. LCDs aren't always great for seeing if you're focused, and that's almost a sure fire way to get a good shot, because usually when you're off it's by a few millimeters or so.
