[b]Megapixel CCD sensor delivering up to 1152 x 872 pixel resolution[/b] The camera that took the ear shot is a mere 6mp (3072 x 2048) which might be the lowest you'll find in a store these days. Been some time since I've bought a camera. [b]Focuses from 27 inches to infinity[/b] That's far from macro and if it had decent resolution you could crop the image but... it doesn't have decent resolution. More on the lens...
