can you take good pictures of jewelry with this camara?

While I have never attempted jewellery pictures I have done a lot of close up photography and it is the best camera I have for close-up work I would doubt this would be any different with jewellery though you may have to work with lighting to get the best possible pictures

I have never tried that, I think that this camera does a great job for the price you pay. Some people may be disappointed because it looks like an DSLR but does not perform like one. And thats true, the cheapest DSLR costs more than twice. So, its a nice camera, with LOTS of manual functions which is not frequently seen on cameras in the 200 dollar range. But it performs like a normal amateur camera, high iso shots are noisy and the 16MP are like 4MP taken with a DSLR, as the sensor size is small you loose deifinition of the pixels, so you need more pixels to get the DSLR quality. just my 2cents I have never tried that, I think that this camera does a great job for the price you pay.

I would think so. It has a good focus setting and it's a really good quality. I've never really done that specifically but I love the camera so it should be good

It's macro is pretty good, i will post customer images soon. Or I can send images directly through email

The camera has a spot on the back for a nail hole so I would say yes.... it takes really clear night pictures I actually bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it!!

Yes but for close up shots of a coin I recommend a macro lens which are around the same price.

It will certainly help. It depends on the size of the jewelry and how much detail you need. This would certainly be a better start as you're asking whether you need a macro lens. A close up filter will be far more forgiving, if you're not familiar with using macro lenses. You state 58mm as though it's the lens focal length, but in this case it's the filter size. Check the filter size on your lens to see what size close up filter you need. Look for ø on your lens to designate the filter size.Not sure if the link will work, but it's a shot I took with a Nikon 50-200 and a close up filter, so you get an idea of what you can do. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/permalink/mo285S3E0XSUXT8/B000O161X0 It will certainly help.

Absolutely, the wide frame of view coupled with the low aperture should make it very simple to take photos in low light, provided you've got a camera that can handle the high iso!

Sure, you can set your camara into bulb mode, one click start the exposure and a second click stop it. It´s great because you don´t touch the camara so less movement.

Absolutely not. This camera is pretty good if you're shooting from about 5 feet away.

Why not? This camera is great at night shots...excellent in low light. We just got back from Tahiti with 500 or so wonderful pictures.

No, but as long as the lighting is good or if you're outside it take really nice pictures.....Hope this help you....

I also bought this to photograph jewelry. I'm not sure if they are daylight bulbs, but the lights don't work well for photographing jewelry. They are too small and not powerful enough. To get good jewelry photos you might have to buy some other lights. But keep in mind that I'm not an expert and there may be a way of making it work. Good luck!

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.

This camera can do anything. A downtown cityscape can look like a Monet watercolor. Your living breathing young gf can look like a wax museum doll. It can make Scarlett Johannson look like Steve Buscemi.

yes you can and it takes pretty decent pics-just remember to change the setting so your picture is clear

Honestly, I think you would be terribly disappointed. The camera would pop to a very high ISO to handle the low light and the photos would be grainy and have smushy detail.

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.. This is very easy to shoot... It's not SLR professional camera.. It's very handy n easy to operate..

I don't think it would have the effect you're probably looking for with a camcorder. Remember, this is a $12 lens.
