Anyone with an A85? Need a sample pic

[SarcasticDwarf]

I'm looking at purchasing an A85 in about a month. What I haven't been able to find is some full resolution pics from very close up of small objects. I plan on using it to take very close up images of components. Can anyone take a pic of a card, screw, anything from really, really, really close? Thanks.

I was thinking about getting an A85, but then the price went up.

Actually, that could work too. I never found similar pics from that model either.

Thanks, that has some decent ones with the A75, but doesn't have anything for the A85. In your opinion, is the A85 worth the extra cost?

It's a wooden desk It's not a completely smooth surface though.

Pardon? No zoom was used in that shot.

Really? Could you take one as zoomed in as far as possible (in an area without glare)? I'm going to use it for a lot of closeups and will probably be using the zoom a lot.

The macro mode lets you get within about 2 inches of the item..zooming in would probably just look the same from a few inches back.
