Could I take macro pictures with this camera? Pictures of bugs, flowers, jewelry?

From Sony's RX1 specifications page:Focal Distance : AF approx. 24cm to infinity (Normal mode), approx. 14cm to 29cm (Macro mode)So in macro mode, you can focus anywhere from roughly 5.5 inches to 11.4 inches. Good enough for most bugs, flowers and jewelry I would imagine.

If you but it from sony they are currently adding a free speed light with camera purchase worth $400 or so

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be. I returned mine for a refund

Yes. I just completed shooting many pieces of jewelry for a catalog. The Macro lens was great.

This camera is amazing -- it probably has more computer power than your first desktop computer. It will shoot pics in virtually any mode you mentioned plus others. I haven't figured out even 20% of what it will do yet.

Yes you can take pictures... High definition, Not amazing quality but pretty good

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.

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.

Yes, it is a good camera for macro super close up shots. I use it for close-up shots all of the time. It is also good at low light shots of people.

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.

The quality of the camera itself will produce a clear images. But it depends on the lens that you get for close-up shots. I've got an amazingly sharp photos using a macro lens :)

Yes! I was taking a photo of a pond lily on macro and did not notice that there was an extremely tiny bug on the petal until I uploaded the photo. It's detail was awesome. The more I learn about the settings the more I like this camera.

I am looking for the same info.. if you check out this camera on walmarts site there is an actual video on there! Helped me to decide that this is the camera that I am looking for. Also, I believe the macro is as close as 1 cm ! I need a macro to photograph my beadwork.

You can get some nice crisp photos/text at close range using the "Macro" setting. Need to turn the flash off though...which of course slows the shutter speed. Takeing a picture of a page is very doable though and it looks fantastic. I was really suprised when I tried it.

Why YES, you certainly can. You use the MACRO mode (just push the round button at the 3 o'clock position to toggle between normal, horizon, and macro) and you can get as close as 1.5 inches. I use it for snapping the inside of pocket watches to show the movement in crisp detail, and the shots come out amazing. This is a great camera. I may buy a second as a backup for when I inevitably break this by dropping it or something else very stupid. (Ex: I put my last Canon Powershot, which I loved, through the wash by leaving it in my pants pocket! It still worked, but was very sluggish to open so I got this one and am VERY happy.)

Better for close up portraits than flowers..85mm macro works much better for flowers if you like to get really close..

It has a macro setting for closer up pic but if you true super close macro you will need to use a camera with interchangeable lens. You can set it to continue to take pics as long as you hold down the button.

YES, it does have macro capabilities...though I seldom use this feature...mainly on flowers if so moved.
