I got the IXUS210 and SX210 IS specs mixed up. Yes, the IXUS210 has no aperture priority mode. No worries though, I think you can still achieve some degree of out-of-focus background in macro mode using the IXUS210. I own an old Nikon E5200 (a 2004 model) which has no aperture priority mode. Here's a macro picture taken with it http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaxons/128370597/ My apologies Yanto. I got the IXUS210 and SX210 IS specs mixed up. Yes, the IXUS210 has no aperture priority mode.

However, compact cameras can still achieve some amount of blur in macro mode. Try shooting with aperture priority and set it at f3.1 (the IXUS210's maximum aperture). Hope this helps.

I love small light cameras for macro. This one taken with Nikon D200 and 105 macro:

Am using the SX1 IS and the tilt and swivel LCD screen (which is also available on the G11) helps me a lot in shooting macros. BTW, nice ants. Would be nice if I can post the photo on the blog :) I, too, prefer point and shoot cameras when taking macro photos.

I prefer point and click camera. This one taken with Canon G9, shall switch to G11 soon. I use DSLR with 105 macro lens only for special situations. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3179/2881510345_9df8fb3db4.jpg DSLR is too heavy for carrying all days. I prefer point and click camera.

SLR users need to have the specialized macro lenses to get maximum result as most zoom lense have long focus ranges. kudos. awesome list man.
