how well is this for close up shots?

The quality of the camera itself will produce a clear images. But it depends on the lens that you get for close-up shots. I've got an amazingly sharp photos using a macro lens :)

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's a solid lens with good range. If you plan on using it outside, then the lighting should be ample to take the type of shots you're seeking. I have found that indoor shooting is not its strength. But the shots I've gotten are clear and I've been pleased with it. The additional range has come in handy.

You can get within four or five inches of most still subjects and get a good shot. The lighting can sometimes be a challenge indoors. I experiment with flash/no flash to get what I need. :^)

It is good for portraits! Because it's only a 35mm you can stay close to your subject; the width feels perfect to me. F/1.8 is really big too, I try to stay at F/2 to keep the whole face in focus. Excellent bokeh, and tack sharp. Good for product shoots too.

you can get some exceptional candid close up shots with this lens the blur out the back well! I say try it. Not for the whole wedding though, you might want another lens.

Yes. Shoot wide open at f/2.8. At 4x zoom and longer it gives a pleasant background blur to portraits. Shoot over 4x for more blur.

I agree. Make sure your lens is decent. Other than that it takes great photos!

I'm trying to post a close-up taken with the macro. I was about 2 inches away, the camera focused very well, and you can see details expected of about 10x- and very clear.

It copes pretty well, but you should operate under low loght conditions in manual mode.Personally, I am satisfied with the way the camera behaves in low light situatuions, but it depends on what do you expect - it is one step above the majority of the point-and-shoots cameras(as the model is indende to be).For example, I got some amazing photos and videos of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan sceneries during night from the Hudson river.Generally speaking, I can say: yes. :)

It has performed very well for me in low light situations. I have been startled a few times by the brightness of the recorded image. I usually use a Pentax 18-250mm lens.

The lenses works well for close up shots. Good detail, etc. I would recommend you get a flash ring to get the proper lighting. Also available on Amazon �

If you're asking about photographing the stars, then (in my opinion) it doesn't have enough magnification. It's a "normal" lens, not a telephoto which is typically used for that. If you're asking if it's good in low light, then the answer is yes, sort of. For the price it's great. It's sharp wide open (at f2.4). Some faster lenses that go down to f1.4 aren't sharp at that aperture, so they end up being usable only at f2.4 to f2.8. Dollar for dollar this is a very good lens.

It is an excellent lens for close ups and distances when there is good light environment, but not for low light situations, unless you have a flash. For indoors would be better a f/2.8 lens or less (f/1.2 or 1.4).

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.

I used it once for a wedding, and it was perfect. I used an attached flash, as the built in flash gets blocked on the widest setting. Mostly I use it for travel and scenery. Best at f8 if you want sharper edges and corners, as with most zooms. In vertical shots, the tops of trees still get a little blurry, so I have a couple of primes for critical work needing greater enlargement.
