Before you purchase this item make sure you know that it is compatable with the version of computer you are using as I believe it only works with Windows XP, and was not use to me as I have Windows 7.

I don't use it so much for photos -- mostly for scanning documents. But when I do on occasion, the photos are fine.

I've scanned a few photos and it did ok but I wouldn't buy it just for photos, I would buy a scanner that is made for photos. I purchased and use this for documents. I think you will get better quality with an actual photo scanner.

I would say no it is not good at doing super close up shots. You would need a camera with a macro lens to do that kind of photos.

It's good for simple videos with adequate light and sound. Keep in mind it is not a camcorder. It's fine for living room stuff and casual outdoor stuff, however you cannot zoom once it's recording.The video quality (and sound for video) is actually better than some portable blogging cameras (the ones specifically made for shooting low-res video)

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

Taking 'good' pictures mostly depends on your skills as a photographer. This camera focuses very fast - it definitely helps in aiding you at children's sporting activities and recital's.

I would say its better suited for photography. That particular lens is very slow. Unless you're outside or lighting the subject, you'll have to bump the ISO of the camera.

Depend how clear images you want to take. Lets say it for memories to make 4x6 pics i would say it is OK, but for professional images i would recommend tripod and remote control.

I use it for taking pictures of rescue dogs. I like it because it gives a smooth background. I don't know how to attach photos here but will be glad to email some to you.

It will do well for portraits and close-up macro photography with enough light. I do like this lens for what it delivers for its price. It does hunt in low-light though, but if you know its application it is fine.

I love my camera! I've never really used it for that type of pics, but for me it does great. I took some pics of my brothers wedding, Kind of an indoor outdoor setting & I'd did great both ways. I think you'll really like it.

I would have have to say yes. I am using it for all my digital photos. Seems to work fine.

I don't really use it much, but I took a picture of myself with it and it was fine. No complaints but i havent used it extensively.

Yes. Focus is pretty good but I would recommend stabilizing it on a tripod & with manual focus for the sharpest possible images.

It actually is not bad. Not suitable for any professional work as you would expect but I have been very impressed for family snaps. It is better than the pop up flash on my old Nikon D200 which was carried over to the D700 and D800. And, it can be used in commander mode to fire manual flashes if they have optical slave capabilities.

I have only used it in low light conditions at home, it takes decent pictures.

It is a really good camera for taking shots like those. I mean it isnt a professional camera so dont expect professional pictures but it takes very clear and amazing pictures. You have to buy your own SD card though:)
