Compact point and shoots - Optio A20?

[Leon Altoff]

Hello all,

I am currently looking at compact point and shoot digitals.  
Specifically I am looking for one that can do movie clips in macro mode 
(or even super macro mode if it has it).

It will also be used as a camera by my wife who has decided that she no 
longer wants to carry around an SLR. 

Of course I am looking at the Pentax range (as well as others), and was 
considering the Optio A20.  does anyone out there have one of these and 
can tell me if it is possible to take movies in macro mode?  Does anyone 
have any other suggestions for good compact point and shoot cameras?

All replies appreciated.
