Hi John, Just to add to your comments about the X20, although a really excellent little camera (It's one of the cameras I have) and is capable of producing some really good results.
It is not capable of shooting true macro (1:1) in it's standard form and neither is the new X30. I know the menu says macro & super macro etc and very good they are, they're only close focus modes not true macro which I understand is what the OP is asking about going by the title of his tread.

I've not used a compact for macro (I use a DSLR) but some of the guys on the macro section including gardernershelper use a compact with close up filters on the front of the lens and gets truly excellent results
its definitely worth checking out gardernershelper thread which is a sticky in the macro section

I'm also experimenting with the EOS-M for Macro. Lots of options to customise and the price is very reasonable atm.
There are no dedicated macro lenses in the EF-M mount at the moment, but you can use an EF-M to EF adapter and use any of Canon's EF/EF-S range with it. I've been playing around with reverse mounting the EF-M kit lens and my next task is to pick up so EF-M fit extension tubes....
