Best COMPACT digital for macro

I am looking for a replacement for my venerable Nikon Coolpix 950,
which could focus as close as 2 cm and took great macro photos
with almost no effort on my part. My criteria are (2) better than
the 950's 2 megapixels and (b) as small as possible.

Sony's T-series cameras. They focus fast and precise at 1cm and are
even capable of using the flash with macro-shots without completely
ruining the image.

There's some amateur macro-sots from my old T1 at

Some cameras that interest me are the Panasonic LX2/Leica D-Lux 3,
and the Canon Powershot SD series.

I have used a PowerShot D300 (I think - it's called Ixus 40 over here)
for some months. While it is not bad for macro, the T1 from Sony was
clearly superior in that area.
