Yes, all in this series have close up (macro) for capturing images close up. The latest in this series actually has a "fill light" which has a light to fill in shadows or for low or no light situations. All of the cameras are nice. this model has a smaller LCD but is well built and overall a nice investment now that these sell for far less than when first manufactured.

I haven't had as much luck getting it to take good close up pictures as I have with action, low-light and zoom shots. However, that could be user error. I'm not a seasoned photographer. My close ups are always blurry, though.

I too am torn between the Canon SX10 and this Nikon. I was 90% sure I was going to go with the Canon as it gets nothing but stellar reviews, but I tried them out side by side today and I have to say - the Nikon seemed more intuitive to use! My kids started going off the deep end before I could make a final decision, but I'll be watching this post to see how others chime in :)

The indoor pictures are actually of VERY POOR quality. Canon SD1000 takes decent outdoor pictures, but it's dreadful indoor, especially when it's bright enough and auto flash is off.I am disappointed... the indoor picture quality is WORSE than much older models, when we had 2MP at maximum resolution.For weddings, you shouldn't go for anything lower than a digital SLR.

I would say no it is not good at doing super close up shots. You would need a camera with a macro lens to do that kind of photos.

You really need to manually adjust the S95 to get the best out of it. It's a fantastic camera for those folks that know what they're doing, better pics than the S8100. But you need to work it. But if you're like most people that just sets the camera to auto and let it do all the work, the S8100 is a much better choice.

This is a good camera for the price. It is simple to use and functions like most other cameras so I would say easy to figure out. My problem was it did not take good close up pictures so I sent mine back.

Better yet, if you swing it, get a used S95 or an S100. Any issue with the S100 return it and get a new one. A slightly larger camera (and better camera) is the Panasonic LX5. Great lens, larger sensor, better video (even if it's not 1080).

Takes good pics, I have many cameras, is this the best one? No but out it does take good pictures

Yes, it does! I haven't used the P100 but I can zoom-in in any pic and then crop it without losing the original one..

Since you like the Canon S95, you should REALLY like the little S120. But I returned it to consider the Sony RX100, but more moola for it! My DSLR kit is Canon T5i and 3 lenses, but we all need a little "pocket-rocket" also. I am also considering the little Coolpix P330.

I have had both the s95 and s100 and they are wonderful cameras..What I love about the Canon 120 : touch screen..great for spot focusing with stills and movies Faster Af Slow motion video option Shoots 10 fps Very sold feel....great pocket camera HDR that really works very well Terrific low light So my answer to you is I think you would be very very happy with the S120//Hope that helps Dave

I have the S8100 and have found it very fast for start-up, between shots and for focusing. It is not the best camera in on earth (I have a Nikon DSLR that takes better images) but having compared it against the Canon S90 and Canon SX210 I think it is among the best P&S; options on the market. The S8100 has several metering options as well as both Single and Full-Time AF for both photos and video. Knowing how they work might have possibly improved performance if that is not something you already had a grasp of.The camera does have focusing noise that can be heard on video if the scene is quiet, but so do all cameras without an external mic.Canon makes great cameras.

The sx260 doesn't have shutter lag but it has picture lag. This it's where it takes a little too long to wait between repetitive shots

unfortunately I bought this camera for my son and he has not used it for close up so I can not answer your questions. Sorry

S120 ;) (sorry don't know anything about the Nikons so I really have nothing objective here, but, I love this camera, love it). This camera is worth it's weight in my pocket for what it does when I need it to. Unreal quality and speed, and the video is on par with my 6D if not better in the same conditions.
