If you need a good close up detail camera you will have to invest an a SLR camera . Most point and shoot camera is used by individuals who want simple photos.

Get somefink else... This camera takes good general pictures, remember it's pretty cheap! A bridge camera would be good for macro.

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.

I don't know, I've never tried it. I will say that is has performed beyond my expectations in every other way.

Also have a great focus and great night pictures, if u wanna some example what I want to explain check this picture! https://plus.google.com/photos/112840903503404504761/albums/5958573131404525569

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.

The Macro gives you close ups you won't believe! I make jewelry and need to take close ups for my web pages, what a difference with the macro.

I think it's very good. The detail I have gotten is amazing. And from some big distances. I purchased this camera for trips where I didn't want to lug my big camera, thinking I would be sacrificing. But was pleasantly surprised by the results I got. Very, very happy with the purchase!

The 60 works very well for this type of picture. Bugs and flowers do better with a 105 - 200 but people do better with the shorter macros.

It's awesome. Funny because before I posted this answer I took some macro shots first, with and without flash, and both came out nice. I took a photo of a half dollar coin and you can see the intricate details in it when I zoomed in on the shots I took.

the macro is very good, you can see veins on a flower less than an inch across. The only issue I found is with lighting, when you are shooting macros in low light, the onboard flash will be partially blocked...in these cases, I back up a few inches and crop in post production, you don't lose much if any definition. It is also very touchy about focusing in tight spaces, a trick I have used is to use my fingers beside my subject, focus on my fingers then move the camera while holding the focus. all that aside, I love this camera, it truly does it all...macro to sports. Highly recommend. the macro is very good, you can see veins on a flower less than an inch across.

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.

The macro works great with this camera. I decided to purchased this camera after reading a review by a 'pro' photographer who also show examples of macro shots. Link: http://www.theinspiredeye.net/panasonic-dmc-lf1-camera-review-an-amazing-pocket-multi-tool/#more-2506

It has an automatic macro mode when the object is very close. Works reasonably well when I photograph coins.

I take pictures of rocks, and the macro feature at 1 cm does a very nice job of capturing the detail without distorting the image.. It also has a bunch of lights around the lens for taking close up images.. Really a nice feature. So to answer your question, you most certainly can fill a whole image with a penny..

My understanding from reading posts on dpreview, www.dpreview.com, the jpgs are excellent. I cannot comment personally since I only shoot RAW.

The macro shots are very good but can get grainy if too zoomed in. Software could probabaly help clean up a photograph.

Great for Macro work and I am still experimenting with wide angle views. Best images appear at F/32 and F/45 with a 90mm 1.8 Schneider-Kreuznach , mounted on a Master Technika Linhof 4x5. Hope this helps.

While it doesn't have a macro mode, it does focus well up-close to objects. Overall, I'm pleased with the all-around performance of this camera, especially considering its price, size and weight. I carry it clipped onto my belt using a flip-phone case (regular camera cases are too big for this), it has ultimate portability.
