I have only fairly recently upgraded to a dSLR and have thus far invested in longer lenses and associated kit for bird and mammal photography.
Previously I used a fuji s7000, which I've yet to sell. This I had great fun with particularly macro shots. In some cases I could focus close enough to almost touch the subject and the 12mp enhanced images were superb. I would highly recommend such a solution/camera to anyone on a stricter budget than the dSLR offers. The only down side I found was focussing, it was slower and due to having a digitial viewfinder not always as clear as an SLR in seeing correct image sharpness.
I can't yet justify the cost of a macro lens so for now I'm reduced to close up filters which I hope to put to use in the coming months - I hope with these I can get one or two decent images at least.
