Hi, I bought a Canon PowerShot S200 digital cam on boxing day, and Ive been trying forever to take any sort of close ups... usually it ends up focusing in on the background and the subject turns out very blurry... if anyone has this camera, is it just not sufficient for quality close-ups or am I...

hey does anyone have on hand articles (or links) pertaining to why you shouldnt feed live feeders (primarily goldfish...)... all Ive found that is very dependable (someone wants proof to back up what I ramble on about health reasons) is fenner's article on wwm.com but it doesnt detail too much...
