Does it do a good job of very close up pictures of flowers for example

I don't use the lens that came w/ this camera. I bought the 18-200 mm lens, and can't be more happy w/ it. I recently went to Epcot for their flower and garden display, and am very pleased w/ the close-ups I got of the flowers. The upgraded lens is so worth it.

Depending on the lens you get, it takes wonderful close ups. My wife uses the 55mm lens that is standard with the camera, but she says that the 10 to 55mm would be better!

That would be much more a function of the lens than of the camera. For not claiming to be a macro lens, the stock 18-55mm lens that is included with this camera does a pretty good job at closeups of small objects. If you want better, then you'd need to invest in a lens that is specifically meant to be a macro lens. Have a look at the picture at the following URL: http://tinyurl.com/jw25gcc That picture was taken using a D3200, and the stock 18-55mm lens. The flower in this picture is very small, less than a centimeter in diameter.

It does. It has, like many, a "flower" setting which allows you to get right up close. Exactly how close I'm not sure. The technical specs probably tell you how close you can get before autofocus doesn't work. (which is what happens when you get too close)

I've only had this camera for 2 weeks and absolutely love it. I have taken a couple of macro pictures of flowers and I was satisfied with the outcome.

It has a good close up setting - I use it to take macro shots and they turn out well. The details are sharp and clear for my use but the macros my daughter takes with her inter-changeable lens camera would fall under the category of professional.

Yes, generally it takes good pictures. It also has a little box that recognizes faces. The sound quality on the little videos it takes is amazingly good.

Yes. It does a good KOB scanning documents for reprint or to email. I'm not sure about photos as I haven't ever tried to scan and reprint those.

With flowers it will work very well, with insects you may want a macro a bit longer. As for quality it is superb, but like all lenses one must use sense. There is no such thing as a one does everything lens.

I've been using my Elph indoors only to take photos of my beadwork. It is great for detailed close ups indoors however, I have not taken any shots outdoors yet.

You can get really close with this camera and get sharp photos. I've taken some as close at 2' with excellent results.

Hi, This camera does excellent close ups. See my photos at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/erictessmer/Good luck in choosing your camera.

Yes it works according to my expectations. The connection (attachment) is not that easy, naturly no auto-focus, but the photo is excellent.

I would not recommend this camera for close up photography. I use this camera for outdoor pictures only. Inside photos seem to be a little out of focus at times. I would consider the Nikon Coolpix before this camera.

It scans photographs pretty well. I don't think it's quite as good as my Epson v500, but it's "good enough" unless you're doing archival work and want the absolute best result you can get. The software does little to no post-processing, and your only choice of output for photographs is JPG (which is always a "lossy" format, as opposed to TIF or other "lossless" format). I don't know if it's the particular JPG compression or the scanner itself, but there is a [very] slight "tiling" effect to the scanned photographs. I suppose overall, I would give it a 7.5/10 for photos. Additionally, since it is a sheetfed scanner, if there is any dust on the scanner "lens", you will end up with a line, as opposed to the V500, so you need to keep that clean. On the plus side, you can scan multiple photos (of approximately the same size) automatically from the document feeder tray, and you can scan the back of the photos at the same time to keep context (many people write notes on the back of photos, which takes twice as much time to scan if you are using a photo scanner). I will upload an example of this scanner vs my V500 in the "customer images" and you can judge for yourself. (edit: never mind...Amazon won't allow me to add customer images for this product) The image is at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pg9fxsfvvdmutlj/S1300i_vs_V500_comparison.png

I used it at multiple concerts this summer and the pics came out great! You just have to adjust the lens and the zoom on the phone itself. I showed it for video too.

It takes fantastic pictures close up. There are several options and I believe high contrast is one. Love this camera.

This item of three different length rings moves your lens focus point which makes it a close up lens. You attach the ring to your camera then attach your lens. This changes the focus point allowing you to get very close to your subject. Using 2 or all 3 tubes together lets you get extremely close. Subjects such as insects, jewelry or the stamen of a flower can be taken and enlarged to see all the detail. The reason these rings are so cheap is they are manual rings. This means you have to set the aperture and focus the camera manualy. This is not a big deal. I have taken some amazing pictures of lady bugs and could see the hair like texture on its antennas.

It definitely does, you just have to have the right settings and lens, fuji has a lot of nice lens right now, and depending on what your taking pictures of. Personally, I love taking photos of insects and flowers, gardens, portraits and sometimes macro, I love the way the pictures come out straight out the camera, colorful and sharp. Its a really good camera once you learn how to use it and practice with it. Hope this helps.
