I give it a major thumb's up. Not only does this simple camera (Canon Powershot A1000IS) take great close-ups, it also has a nice focus feature so that not everything in the frame is in focus at one time.
The caterpillars of this hawkmoth feed on walnut, hop hornbeam, hickory, alder and beech, none of which we have many of in my neighborhood. So maybe its feeding on something else too (pecan?). Neat critter. She was mellow enough that I could pick her up with ease.

Great shots. I am often subject to a sort of speciesism where I typically run to grab a shot of a colorful butterfly and ignore their dowdier (color wise anyway) cousins in the moth family.
The macro look is a good reminder of how fascinating the moths really are. Thanks for sharing.
Great shots of this amazing hawk moth, and your macro shots are great. Have fun with your new camera!
ESP.
