Those are nice. I did a lot of research and learned more than I wanted too at the time. My 1050 also has the large view screen and I've already put the cover on it. It is a 10.1 megapixals and I'm sure once I figure it out I'll be able to take some outstanding fish photos. As for the Macro there are 3 settings: Macro, Super Macro and S Macro LED. I'm still reading the book. My wife is starting a Digital Camera class at the local JC where she teaches. Hopefully she will learn enough for both of us. She has already hi-jacked my new tripod for her Olympus Stylus 730. Jim
