Anyone else got this camera? I can't seem to get the camera to focus on close-up objects in the aquarium with macro. I've fooled around with manual mode, digital macro seems to give me better results but the digital zoom is making the picture blurry. Aquarium mode doesn't seem to work when close-up either. Anyone had success with this camera?

Just to let you know a digital zoom will make a picture look bad. Optical is the only way to keep the picture clear. I turn the digital zoom off on any camera I have as the pictures look like crap with it. Take any picture in your image browser and look at it at actual size. Now zoom in. You will notice the more you zoom in the worse the picture looks. This is basically what your digital zoom is doing.

I know, I can only get a better focused picture under digital macro mode. I cannot get the camera to focus in normal macro mode (optical) for some reason.
