Ken,

The SX60HS lens is not interchangeable:

For macro, true macro, it does really well:

The camera was just 30mm from the spider.

If I get in really close to my sketches, the camera does really well. You see that in the second batch of photos in the first post - I've edited the first post to be clear on that (thanks Ken). But if I come in too close to the sketch with the camera, in order to get the whole sketch in the frame, the lens introduces too much distortion.
