I haven't used this camera, but the review here gives it a very big thumbs up (
Fujifilm Finepix E900 Review - PhotographyBLOG).
There is a macro mode, down to 7.5 cm which isn't fantastic but it isn't bad. I find it useful to go back the camera manuals regularly, there is very often something I missed or had forgotten, and in some cases just not understood.
