Thanks Dave. Still not sure I understand the difference though lol
Yep you have 18MP (IRQ you have a 60D) so get as close as you can and you will be surprised at how much detail is captured but the closer you can get the better I would have a play if you are not happy then have a look at the alternatives.

As donereo mentioned for macro work it is best to manually focus, use a tripod if possible and live view is a godsend for accurate focus as you can focus and use the zoom button to see how sharp it is.
