How close can you get to a subject with this camera and still get a good resolution photo?

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 wife thinks this is an awesome camera, and I'm such a good husband for getting it for her. She is using it indoors for her eBay pictures, so to answer your question directly, yes we find it suitable. I've taken closeup pictures of things just a couple of inches away, thus it has a macro capability for very close work. My wife is very pleased with her FinePix, and had been grabbing it instead of her Canon SLR frequently.

I have not had any problem with the resolution on this camera. I use it on the automatic setting and it seems to work fine.

the aperture of the kit lense I don't know, the kit is pretty good, but if you want to take pictures from far away you need to get an extra lense let's say 50 to 200 or 300 mm, like that you can bring closer the object you are aiming or in other words you can't get close enough for a close up. I am very happy with this camera. I wish I could get another lense though for far away pictures

Hi j michael, I suggest checking on the distnace of your camera to your subject to avoid blur and out of focus shots. Thanks_Mitch

You can set the camera to macrozoom and get as close as you need to get-just play with the distance because it automatically centers the photo.

for close ups it is ideal. 25-40 Feet will be fine but for further distances you might get the subject, but it will not be close enough to focus.....For portraits it is an ideal lens, and any immediate close ups up to 15-20 Feet.

Sure, no problem. I usually scan at 300 dpi but I think it can even go higher. Saves as a JPEG or whatever you want!

Thank you for your response. I seem to do OK with close up but longer focal lengths give me a hard time. I may send it in just for them to check it out. I like the camera but I havent ever been so stymied before.

Have used this feature quite a bit and have to be careful not to touch the subject, thats how close you can get. I also like that you can then still zoom in on the photo afterwards and get even more magnified without losing any significant resolution. I have actually used this feature like a low powered microscope to see objects and organisms close up and in detail.

I am amazed how clear and sharp the photos are at a distance of 100' plus during day light hours. At night it's a different story. The subject has to be fairly near to get a good picture. I would guess between 25 to 50 feet.

Id recommend 150 dpi you can get hi res photo's off the web however most photos on the web are 72 dpi and would look poor.

You can focus to within eight inches away of your subject. But remember that this is a wide angle, 24mm equivalent lens, so even at a close up distance, you will get more into your frame than you would with a longer lens. You must also be aware of potential wide-angle distortion.

Yes however you just take into account the 1.6 crop factor on the sensor. Your actual depth of field is not f4 but f (4*1.6) and the reach is around 480 mm. Also iso is affected. It takes a lot of conversion to get full frame quality images but its possible

This is my opinion on your question. This camera is not designed to take pictures less than 18 inches from the subject so I would say it is not suitable for what you want to do. Secondly, doing what you purpose would be a very low-light situation and even if the camera would do closeup exposures there would be issues with the pictures and any movement of the subject would be blurred.

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.

It can go up to 10" close to the subject, the magnification ration is 1:1, that means you can take a picture size of your camera sensor.
