what quality macro photos can be taken

I bought the lens to take detail pictures of postage stamps/coins (I collect). Does the job, have not tried it on insects or any thing smaller.

The quality is good. Used it for landscapes in ireland. The problem was if the light is hitting it a certain way sometimes you got shadows and a sort of a dark framing around the picture.

Yes but for close up shots of a coin I recommend a macro lens which are around the same price.

We purchased this to take macro photos of snow flakes. So, you must get close to your subject and use light. We experimented with taking photos of dollar bills. You can get in on all the fine detail not seen by the naked eye. Good luck.

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.

Yes, it is very good for macro close-ups, blurring the background beautifully! A very versatile lens. You can't go wrong! Very sharp photos.

thats right now you have to put your phone close up to whatever it is you want to take a picture of. try it with a coin to see the quality of the macro lens

This is an amazing camera. The only thing it doesn't do is close Macro. If I'm not using my NEX7 or 60d, this is the camera I use, and alot of times I differ to it for the ease of useage & pic quality. For what you want , you'll be very happy & then some.

It has a very small depth of focus. Best to stick with macro uses and keep a normal lense handy for regular photos.

I personally love this lens. But then, I am not trying to photograph bugs with it. My photos are perfect and have caught some great photos of hummingbirds I was shooting recently. I have a Canon T3. It does Macro.

Shots should be decent but not stellar. I never thought of this camera as macro and I wouldn't use the 24-42mm-zoom lens for macro shots. The lean is weak. The camera is fine though and if you find a better lens it should work.

I bought, then returned this camera. Look at the D3300 - a newer and better model. I suggest you try out the kit lens for macro shots before you purchase a specific macro lens.

I like the colors just fine. Just make sure you use the proper white balance or else you can get colors that are not accurate...I think this is normal for any camera if proper white balancing is not used. The camera has a wonderful zoom (30x optical) which works well, but for macro, you will need to shoot with it all the way out (1x) and then move the camera close to your subject for the best results. As you increase the zoom, you lose some ability to get close-up, but I've had some wonderful floral pix with this camera.

Of course, it has macro capability. It all depends on what lens you put on it, but even the kit lens is capable of macro photography.

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.

Yes, but JPEG rendering is really really bad. Raw files are amazing. They hold a lots of shadow details. Right now I'm only using d800e and leica m240. But I had a great time with this affordable camera

yes to both questions. you can take pictures with long exposure, for example at night time. great macro shot can be taking too. you may have to change some options on the camera depending on the exposure and light of the area. if you have more questions or comments please let me know.

Pretty much any camera that advertises "macro focus" (the ability to focus on objects within about an inch of the lens -- necessary if you're selling anything *small*) will be fine these days: All of them have plenty of resolution and perfectly good image quality for eBay/Amazon usages. You'll have no problem finding many cameras <$100 to choose from these days that will work just fine.
