i need a compact camera

hi
is there any compact camera shoot macro photos like the same way of the canon lens macro like EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM on the DSLR body
and the same camera gives me a nice zoom for reach to shoot birds ?

No. There's no such camera.
Most large zoom cameras, like the Canon PowerShot SX40,
are able to focus as close as 1 cm from the object,
but only when zoomed out - the result is a magnification
nowhere near the 1:1 magnification you're seeking
when referring to DSLR dedicated macro lenses.

Point and shoots are good for macro photography
due to their small sensors and much larger depth of field,
but you would probably need to attach a Raynox lens
in order to obtain true macro shots.

Thanks a lot

If you can find a good copy take a look at the G9. It has very good macro capability and a zoom range of 35-210 (35 equivalent)

If you want 1:1, no, you won't. But 1:1 on any camera the EF-S 60 lens will cover is about 15x22.5 mm; you could probably cover that area with the SX40 in macro mode.

Seems like you didn't take the G9 as far as it can go in terms of macro.
Try to zoom out and get as close as you can in macro mode.

Yes, to use the manual capability of the G9 to its maximum potential. Set the camera in macro mode while fully zoomed out and move really close to the subject, then set focus to manual and spin the wheel to get optimal focus. This is sort of a Liveview setup that allows you to get absolutely perfect focus for macros because you get a magnified square to manually tune in the focus. If you want more abilities on the G9, I think you can add a close up macro filter lens to the front ... but to be honest I have never felt I needed that so have not tried a front lens. The two most underrated capabilities of the G9 are its built in ND filter, and its manual focus for perfect focus on macro pictures.

Here is a macro add on for the G9
