How do you select super macro? I've only ever seen macro on that camera

I'll post some of my pictures later.

Sarah, some of the settings don't have it - I usually use it on the P setting. Just hold the macro button down for a few seconds.
The macro works so well that if my lens is dirty it focuses on the dirt.

Oh, so you have to hold it down? I've gotta try that. Y'all are getting some awesome shots with the super macro!

you guys are getting fabulous shots!
I haven't really played much with it in the last couple days. I haven't figgered out how to change the colors yet. Or make them black and white - my sister had my camera in less then 5 minutes was taking sepia and b/w pics but neglected to show ME how! She doesn't even have this kind -
You landscape pics and flower pics - Kirsten and TMB are much better then mine - maybe it's b/c landscapes and flowers are just prettier where you guys live!?
I'm off this weekend - maybe I'll get a chance to play with it then.
I do have a moon pic but it isn't near that good - are you closer to the moon then me!?

Great pics Kirsten, I love them all! Sky, moon, etc.
I hope I have some time the coming weekend to resize and post some pics.

For the memory card, I also bought a 1 Gb. The most important is the speed. Buy a fast one! Writing speed is the limiting factor to take pictures fast. I took the Extreme III from SanDisk.

Thanks, Sonia and Shais_mom!

Toby's my baby, these shots are phantastic! I see you have learnt quickly to use the color select! This one looks really cool:
