I was in the Nikon camp too once, have some CP5700 shots here;

100mm in 35mm terms.

Not at all. For a close macro shot you'll be about a foot from the
subject instead of a few inches in the case of say a CP5700. But
close macro shots have a downside in terms of DOF as you probably
know. Often it's better not to get too close then do a 100% crop in
your photo editor.
