Digital Compact and Macro

Update: I’ve changed host and images in this post is gone. Not that important post, so I haven’t been bothered recreating the images. (Leave a comment if you’d like to see, and I’ll make the effort.)
As I’ve posted, I recently bought the HP Photosmart M525, compact digital. This camera has a adequate macro setting, and this was the main reason for my selection. (That and the fact it’s a good camera priced at under 1000NOK/$160.) The macro-setting probably isn’t real macro, and focusing once in macro isn’t easy, as the autofocus doesn’t always take your point… (Image on the right is resized and cropped.)
A few tests here at home has revealed that for really good macro shots, this camera won’t be enough. You need a good DSLR system, but my economy doesn’t allow for this at the moment. Thinking of a way to “work around” this limitation, got me a bit closed. I’m still very new to photography, so composition, focus (allthough it’s AF), lighting, etc.. is probably going to be bad, but you’ll hopefully get the idea.
