close-up shots good?

how close... I have not taken anything closer than 5ish feet. I believe it would do very well

closr up shots are very good. I love this camera. It is small enough to carry in my pocket but gets big camera results.

If you need a good close up detail camera you will have to invest an a SLR camera . Most point and shoot camera is used by individuals who want simple photos.

Yes, it is a good camera for macro super close up shots. I use it for close-up shots all of the time. It is also good at low light shots of people.

I've been very satisfied with the few low light photos I've taken so far by giving a little thought to setting up the shot and paying attention to the focus box in auto mode. I'm sure there are some override settings that would enhance low light shots but I haven't felt the need to use them yet.

Well, I think it's great. For a lot of my macro/close-up shots, I use this camera instead of my mirrorless cameras. It'll let you get in darned close.Bill

Yes the photos are nice for this type of camera, the image stabilization helps for the not so steady or hard button pushers. You need to allow the camera to focus and that is not instant like a full size camera. I have been impressed with even out the window driving shots.

You can get within four or five inches of most still subjects and get a good shot. The lighting can sometimes be a challenge indoors. I experiment with flash/no flash to get what I need. :^)

My understanding from reading posts on dpreview, www.dpreview.com, the jpgs are excellent. I cannot comment personally since I only shoot RAW.

Does anyone have experience with model and close-up shot quality? I need it for photographing my oil paintings for competitions and websites, but I'd also like it for travel shots. Is it too much to ask for both capabilities in one camera? Thanks

I haven't used the camera for any close up indoor shots. I bought for trip to Arizona and all the photos turned out great. My main reason for buying it was because it had a viewfinder and I can never see anything on the screen in the sunlight.

The camera is good. I've used it for instagram and posting to fb. Sometimes it looks grainy but need to make sure the settings are on the highest resolution/pixels possible.

Yes it does a very good job of capturing the panoramic shots. It is never blurry.

I have not used the close up feature to respond with any helpful information. However, I did try to use the feature and did not get as good a result as I wished for. But was experimenting and had not gotten a good knowledge of the settings for the best results. I did take some good landscape and People" pictues while on vacation, and liked the results.

Hey bob,The camera has a dynamic focus that I am pretty sure can take close shots, but not that close. This particular lense will take average distances from say 3-5" (do not have the specifics) to scenery. The only issue that I do not like about this camera is that the flash has a slight design flaw, sometimes when you use the flash the lens will shadow the lower portion of your picture. The camera in general is awesome, slight that small detail. You can check a little more expert opinion in dpreview (google it). They can give you more specs of the camera. Good luck!

This would not be a good fit from the stand point of capturing fast movement, unless you use the video mode. The zoom is terrific, and my wife and I took some great pictures of the Moon a while back which are amazing. I don't think you'll find anything that meets your movement criteria at that price point, though, processing tends to be too slow for that and shutter lag too great. They're fine for casual shooting, and I like the camera for vacation snaps and such. Also, the image stabilization is terrific. Without knowing what your primary camera is, it's hard to recommend a back up.

Yes you can take pictures... High definition, Not amazing quality but pretty good

Thanks, Spanky, for the info. The camera arrived the other day and it's awesome. As a matter of fact, I took some closeup shots this morning of a silver dollar, with the camera mounted on a minipod and room lighting. They turned out great. BTW, I used the iA setting.
