Other than the Canon EF 100 macro lens, what other macro lenses have you tried or do you know anything about. I've seen some Canon 35-105, and 35-70 lenses out there on Ebay but don't see the specs on these. I've used that sigma for macros but with the distance minimum distance being a little over three feet make it hard to get the shots I really would like. I ended up deciding to keep that camera after all along with the others I have. I have too much fun with it and now I can use the new one for on the go pic taking.

I have noticed a lot of noise in the S3IS pics that I've been taking, especially flash pics. I made sure that the settings were not on Auto Hi/ISO to make up for taking pics in dark. Maybe just need to work a little more with the custom modes to try and get them correct.
