Would this camera be good for macro photography?

It depends on how macro you wish to go. It is still basically a point and shoot digital camera, however it does have a great zoom at 30x and after you can edit the picture in the camera to zoom even further in at 10x's. I have gotten some great pictures of bees on a flower that you can see the individual pollen deposits on it's wings, legs and face, a few ants that I didn't even notice on a flower petal, dew drops on roses or on leaves that I didn't notice in the original shots ect just from using that extra zooming power on photos I was out shooting. I also took a picture of a squirrel from about 10 feet away using the camera zoom and then when I zoomed in on the squirrels face using the edit feature I could see my reflection in the squirrels eye. For me that is great, but it's not the super macro you would see using some of the DSLR camera's with all the bells a whistles.

I am not a pro, but I have found limits on it when trying to get too close. I would look for a professional review online to get a better answer to your question. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

No, this camera has gliches that effects your zooming and trying to push the shutter button. I am having problems with mine right now and I am trying to get it solved, it is frustrating when you try to zoom and the zoom will not stay put, or that you have to turn the camera off to take another picture. Sorry, but that is the way it is, I love Nikon, but would pick a different model of theirs than the Coolpix

It has a good close up setting - I use it to take macro shots and they turn out well. The details are sharp and clear for my use but the macros my daughter takes with her inter-changeable lens camera would fall under the category of professional.

This is a great easy camera. I have captured dew drops and ants on flowers from 10-15feet away. Daily get close ups of birds on feeders in house behind dirty window as they spin on feeders 30ft or more. Great camera great price

This camera does it all!!! It's worth every cent and yes, you can do macro photography. We use it for everything!! And pic quality is amazing as well as videos, still shots, night shots, different choices of portrait shots, filters, it's all in this bundle!!!

It's pretty good for what is basically a high end point and shoot; but I wouldn't really compare the results I get with this camera to my DSLR+macro lens.

I own this camera, and yes it does have macro mode. Incidentally, I have owned 5 point-and-shoot cameras over the past 10 years and this one has the best image quality by far, even though it's the least expensive camera I've ever bought.

I find this camera very good. It does a well as any camera shooting low-llight pictures. You gotta have light to take pictures. I 'm not sure what a macro shot is. Hope this helps. Nice Camera performs Great. Randy

Technicly this is a wide angle to portrait size lens not a macro lens. That being said yes you can do close ups of small objects. You will however have distortion in the wide angle range. A 100mm macro lens is a better choice for macro photoography.

Most definitely. It even has a switch on the lens that indicates to the lens that it is not a macro photo. Portraits and landscape photos come out brilliantly!

Decent is a very relative term. For an amateur photographer this lens will take some nice close up photos. I would not define them as true macro, but it will do a good job. The 19-55 dal lens is a very good all around "kit" lens.

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

Hello Michael, The macro function on this camera is a nice feature. I have used this on floral pics. And other christmas decorations. I find you may like it for the price.

This is my fave macro camera. My other cameras are Leica's and I prefer this one for macro shots. I get fab bokeh with it.

Erm, as you should already know the high pixel count for this camera makes it ideal for close up and macro work.It is the quality of the lens that you buy that will do the rest, and obviously that needs to be one that is macro compatible as not all lenses are made for macro work :)

I love this camera. It is good for close up macro shots, group shots, scenic shots or whatever. It sets itself up automatically for all of them. Great camera

Yes, I purchased it and it worked fine on my camera. Which is a D7000, overall I was not a fan of it, but macro photography was not my thing.

I've taken some amazing photos in the macro mode of roses etc. Not sure exactly what your specifications are but it worked well for my amature pix.

That would be much more a function of the lens than of the camera. For not claiming to be a macro lens, the stock 18-55mm lens that is included with this camera does a pretty good job at closeups of small objects. If you want better, then you'd need to invest in a lens that is specifically meant to be a macro lens. Have a look at the picture at the following URL: http://tinyurl.com/jw25gcc That picture was taken using a D3200, and the stock 18-55mm lens. The flower in this picture is very small, less than a centimeter in diameter.

Excellent camera for macro shots, just make sure you use a tripod.I sell alot of stuff online and this camera really takes some great closeups.
