I would think so - I have been getting great results shooting small items for eBay.

I wanted to photograph small jewelry & lace items but found that the lighting sources are not bright enough to go through the white surround and allow me to get the photos I want. I do like the background clothes in various colors to hang down and let me have a smooth background.

It is definitely photoshopped food and very terribly photoshopped at that. I would know, I study computer graphics. However, I can't tell you why they are using photoshopped pictures to try to sell their product.

The only info I received with mine was a couple pages explaining how to use it and a couple recipes. U should have received some paper work on it. Contact the Co. U purchased it from.

Hi, I bought this camera for my mom. She loves it...said it is a very versatile. My brother is a professional photographer. He loves the camera and even though he has 3000 dollar cameras thought this would be a great everyday camera. He was impressed with all the features it has for such a compact camera. Hope this helps. Have a good day.

I was very pleased with my mini skillet I live in a small place and wanted something small for just myself. Do not know about the bad reviews I never posted one. I like mine hope you enjoy yours.

Yes it is a good camera. It is light weight, quick to focus, can take lots of micro 4/3 lenses, and the price was right. Is it the best camera? Probably not because there are a lot of terrific cameras out there including several updated variations on this model. If you're thinking about dipping your toe into micro 4/3 photography then there is probably no better camera for getting started. Do your research first to see if this might be something you want because there is no substitute for a well thought out purchase.

I'd say it's good for either. I had a small crack in the machine when I received it and they wanted pictures. I didn't take any and just said keep and try. :) Boy was I happy. This machine is great! I'd say yes go for it now!!

I have only used mine once. I am finding it is kinda a joke to use. I would love to return it. Or even sell it..But other then that it is good for someone who loves to take photos from afar.

Thank you Ami. I just operated the machine the day I received it for a test and it was perfect but havn't used it fully for all my photos and negatives. I suggest that you down load its user guide and read it. Sorry dear.

It's pretty decent! It's a bit grainy, and you can only zoom in like once before it gets into super gross and grainy, it has a blue tint to photographs. but here's a regular zoom pic with no filters:https://www.dropbox.com/s/itdukx4wzj3u3j5/2013-06-22%2013.30.41.jpg

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!

I would suggest reading the reviews on CNET.com & AMAZON.com for in-depth information from users. Personally I love it! But there is a learning curve to the X500, but that's due to the plethora of features & options for each shot. You can get as close as 2" away, if there's enough light, for great micro-shots. Compare them feature for feature, & whichever matches your photography style best will be your choice. I generally keep mine in auto mode & have it at the ready. It hasn't let me down yet... I am also building a recipe book & the food picts looks mighty tasty! For the features, 16MP & the price I would choose the GE again!
