does this camera take good macro shots? (ie, flowers, bugs, etc?) thank you!

It has both macro and super macro settings, and I think it works great, especially for this price range. Flowers? No problem. Bugs? Might be more of a problem, unless you can get them to pose for you! I often take close-up photos of toy cars, and most of the time it shows more detail in the photo than I ever see when I examine them, even with my glasses on!

..this camera has very nice Zoom, i use it at work all the time.. as with any cam or scope the longer the focal length the smaller the field of view, and, the harder it is to keep the subject in that FOV.. btw this cam also does Macro images very well, for a point and shoot cam im happy with it.. the Android OS just makes it that much better..

yes to both questions. you can take pictures with long exposure, for example at night time. great macro shot can be taking too. you may have to change some options on the camera depending on the exposure and light of the area. if you have more questions or comments please let me know.

Sacha, its got a decent zoom for such a tiny camera, but at full zoom ranges the images can get grainy. However for medium zoom, regular and macro, the image quality is really great. I like it as a point and shoot.

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

I own this camera, and yes it does have macro mode. Incidentally, I have owned 5 point-and-shoot cameras over the past 10 years and this one has the best image quality by far, even though it's the least expensive camera I've ever bought.

It depends what you mean by macro. A lot of people mean close up. On the camera itself, one can set it for flowers or portrait. One can also purchase a number of actual macro lenses (1:1 or 1:20, life size or half life size) called by Nikon micro lenses. The closest is 40mm, and one has to stand very close to the subject in order to get that. Not so great if you want to photograph bees on flowers. Bryan Peterson wrote a book Understanding Close-up Photography which is excellent. He recommends a 200mm, both heavy and costly. I myself love to photograph flowers, and I have a 40mm, 85mm and 105mm. For me that's enough. Nikon has a sale on many lenses until the end of March, 2015. Good luck.

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

I think it works very well. There is a micro-zoom closeup setting as one of the four main settings, along with exposure, flash and self timer. I have been able to capture closeups of insects, flowers and mushrooms with very good detail in normal lighting.

There are special effects on the camera and I believe it does include macro.

Well, I think it's great. For a lot of my macro/close-up shots, I use this camera instead of my mirrorless cameras. It'll let you get in darned close.Bill

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.

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.

I haven't taken any photographs of jewellery , but I can say that it has a reasonably good macro mode. It also works well in low lights (especially in the EXR mode).
