If what you say is true and the image in the view finder isn't always what
will appear in the downloaded pic (particularly with close up shots) I may
have to resort to downloading close up pics and seeing how they turn out.

I think that I may not have been clear enough in what I meant here.

The "picture" that you see when you look through the OPTICAL view finder
(the one that you put your eye up to) will not match the actual image
capured by the camera.  You'll have to "aim high".  The optical view finder
does have lines in it to help you make this adjustment.

After you take the picture and view it on the LCD screen on the back of the
camera, this image WILL match the downloaded image.  What I usually do is
snap the picture and then look at it when it pops up on the screen.  If it
is what i want, good.  If not it can be quickly deleted.

I have not tried taking pictures using the LCD to frame the picture, so I am
not sure if what you see on the LCD is what would be captured in the final
image.  I would THINK that it would be, since the image on the LCD has to
come from the same sensor that the final image will be taken by (this is an
assumption on my part).  The optical viewfinder, on the other hand, is not a
through-the-lense viewfinder.

I hope that this clears things up a little bit.
