This was taken about 6" away from the device with a Canon PowerShot S1 IS.
Obviously, I reduced the image size a bit for portability. Full size images
(2048 x 1536 or so; 3.2Mpix claimed) are a little blurry in full
excruciating detail, but they make great pictures at even 2/3 scale.
(Obviously for web pics, I rarely have anything over 50% reduction, so the
sharpness is excellent.)

As promised, here is a photo taken in macro mode at four inches. It is
the bottom side of a IBM Deskstar DTLA-307030 hard drive.
