I also had a Fujifilm compact, not as good as yours but still a decent camera but it didn't have a veiwfinder and I can't do with quinting at the screen, especially if the sun is behind me.
I hadn't bothered with it for a while so I sold it to another mate far too cheaply.
I have priced a macro lens on Amazon for my Nikon and they are upwards of £350, I will leave the macro shots to you Dave, otherwise my wife would imprint my head on the back of a the frying pan.

Its horses for courses really, I probably wouldn't post as many photos as I do if it had to be carried in a bag.
A viewfinder would not work for me especially in macro mode, a viewfinder would look past the subject, and you would have to fiddle with offset correction. My shots close up, are at ground level a lot of the time and looking through a viewfinder would not be possible, also my head would be in contact with the camera and the camera is an inch away from the subject. With a screen the camera can be at arms length, and I can still centre the subject. As I said though, its what works for you.
As Susie said though the flash pops up on turn on, but it can be pushed in if you wish to disable the flash.
