|  Macro Photos
My brother got himself a Canon A720 camera today. I was skeptical - I had my sites on a digital SLR for myself but I tested the thing out - indoor, low-light is a big meh, even in decent light, it's good, I guess - for $199 - whatever.. but then I tried the macro mode and I was very impressed for something of its price range! Took quite a few pics and thought i'd share: My eyeball (notice the reflection of my back-yard with pool)  Back of my brother's neck  Incredibly tiny plant things (about 1/4 the size of capers) 
It was all done on auto settings too - I am quite impressed! anybody else have some macro photos to share?

Look for a little icon that looks like a flower on your camera, or something about "macro" photos. Should be a setting on the camera somewhere.
