Depth of Field, DOF is the prize in macro. There tends not to be very much since you are so close to the subject. You can see how short the DOF is with my Cybershot in macro mode in the picture. Manipulating f-stops and shutter speed and using lenses specifically for macro will get you more. With my new camera, Nikon DSLR - D3200 I have a bit more DOF with the normal lens but not much more.
