Does this camera took good pictures on land? For example, scenic shots of mountains, beaches, buildings, etc.?

I think this camera take pretty good pictures. The clarity is almost as good as my professional camera. I haven't use it under the water yet. It felt into the water few times when I went to paddle board. It is a little heavy. I use it as a regular camera carry that in my purse daily.

I have had the camera for about three months now and I believe it to be quite a great camera for land shots! I have taken it on a 26 mile backpacking trip in the mountains of Arkansas just a few weeks ago and on two family trips as well. All of these trips involved many landscape photos. It has not let me down in consistency and clarity. I highly recommend it.

Great pictures on land. Love the feeling that it will not be ruined by weather as well. I take this one on hikes, mountain climbing and camping trips. Would like to attach a picture to show you but can't.

It isn't a SLR but it takes good pictures of scenes, I think. I have been using it and it is pleasing, expecially because I can carry the camera in my shirt pocket.

Yes, I use it it my work for taking shots of construction sites. My Nikon had a better wide angle but the telescoping lens is what died.

I got excellent pics, but only used it outside for snorkeling and while hanging out on the beach and as a secondary camera at Chichen Itza in Mexico. I also had my Nikon D5000, which obviously is a much more advanced camera, but this one did good enough that I was comfortable leaving the Nikon D5000 behind for some of our activities, knowing this camera would capture anything I needed and I wouldn't lose out on memories :) My snorkeling pics turned out good!

No, but it works well for photos and vids on dry land. Good resolution, good mike, plenty of zoom.

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

It is an "all purpose" camera.....land or water. Has virtually all the settings as my much more expensive digital SLR. We bought one to take on a cruise in October 2013. It was perfect. Only down side is when the battery goes, it goes FAST..... suggestion would be to purchase extra batteries + charger enabling you to have spares all the time.

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!

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 takes incredible pictures out of the water -- there are several settings which allow for settings such as toy camera, B&W; with splash of color, cross screen, boost color!

In my opinion, yes...some of my close ups (with this camera) have excellent detail...I am actually surprised at the quality of the photos this will take (considering the low price).

Funny thing, I have not used the panoramic mode. (Which is crazy because I live on a river!) But I do love my camera!it takes awesome pictures.

What is the best camera that fits my needs (mainly outdoor and landscape photos)? I'm looking for DSLR that provide one of the best image quality for a lower cost.

It does take pretty good shots of moving objects when the flash is ON. But since this camera lacks image stabilizer, it's not 100% perfect. If you plan to take pictures of moving objects, I recommend looking into the Canon PowerShot SD700 IS 6MP. Hope that helped.

Yes, I am very happy with this camera. I use a Leica M9, how ever it is not suitable for all circumstances, this camera fills in the gaps.

No I use it mainly outside on vacation or recording grandkids birthday parties. It takes great videos BUT you must have a steady hand or use a tripod for the best results.

I would not recommend this camera for close up photography. I use this camera for outdoor pictures only. Inside photos seem to be a little out of focus at times. I would consider the Nikon Coolpix before this camera.
