Does it take good maco photos

It takes macro but wide angled, meaning you get a lot of the background. Also, there is no macro mode per se, you just put the lens within a few centimeters and snap away, you'll see the macro icon displayed. Of course the lens has to be in the fully retracted position. Someday, I'd like to have a real macro lens, a DSLR base and a good illuminator. The big problem in macro is light, i.e. you're always casting a shadow on your subject with the camera/ lens. I do like this camera for its manual focus mechanism (on the lens ring).

It can take good macro photos but has some issues attempting that in low light. Get a real macro setup if that's your primary interest.

I assume you mean macro photos... well... the macro lense is very good, and you can approach the subject up to 1 cm if necessary... I make a x2 zoom and still use the macro with a better and wider perspective. The only problem is when you use the macro with flash, in which case a horrible shadow will appear in the lower part of the picture. To avoid that I focus the subject on the superior 1/3 of the frame and then afterwards I crop the image. With a photograph of 20 mp even the crop one is still usable.

Yes! I do a blog on fb about the little island I live on and people have noticed a difference in my pictures. I took a pic of a dragonfly up in a tree with the sony and you can count the hairs in its back. Great camera! Well worth the money.

I know that it does have Canon on it. It's got a lot of little detail. But I don't use Mac so I'm not sure

It does also take still photos, but the quality is nowhere as good as the videos and even cell phone cameras look better. Still camera is about 1 mega pixel..

I never use it, but from what I remember, people who reviewed this camera said that still photographs were low quality. They suggest using a dedicated camera for stills.

Yes, you will be able to download pictures to your mac. You can use iPhoto, or you can use the Canon-supplied software. (The Canon software rocks.)

Yes. A bit difficult with scanning. I have a Mac and I use IPhoto. Not compatible I guess.

Yes, i have taken few pictures and it seems good not like other handycams where it seems the picture taken are with 1 or 2 Megapixel ordinary phone go for it if you are concerned about the picture it should live up to your expectation

Dear Alicia, it takes good pictures out of the water and decent ones in water so long as the water is clear. All in all for the price, I'm satisfied. Hope this helps.

I had one and I can say the picture quality is terrible. Every pic I took for 2 years was blurry and grey. I bought it brand new and regretted it. I replaced it with a Panasonic Lumix which is fantastic.

yeah, the macro mode lets you take close up images. Got the camera a few days ago and it too pretty nice pics of my fav. ring! The ring is focused, but background will be blurry

Absolutely-I have a Mac. It comes with a memory card, I just download the pictures from there.

I did not have a mac so I don't know. I wouldn't take the chance on buying it since it has a lens error issue that makes the camera not worth having
2177802
yes you can and it takes pretty decent pics-just remember to change the setting so your picture is clear

Don't know. Mac person. Software is not the main attraction of the camera, which I really like!

Yes. Camera takes great pictures, just know that if you have to use the flash, that takes FOREVER !!!
