Can you adjust the aperture and shutter speed with this camera?

Actually, it does not have manual settings. You can change the scene mode, which will change aperture and shutter settings, but even then, the camera chooses for you. The lack of manual settings is my biggest complaint with the camera. I know what I want the camera to do, but I can't get it to do it.

how does it do with upclose pictures?

Close up pictures are absolutely true to life. There is one small shortcoming with this camera though - not a defect - just an irritant. If you power up the camera without taking off the lens cover, it gives a 'lens error'. Only way is to put off and put on the camera again. Hopefully its a software issue that they can fix.

The camera, lens cover, a strap to hang it around your neck, and the cord with a USB end to hook up to your computer! Hope this helped :)

Will it be good for a beginner?

Yes, good for a beginner. Basically a point and shoot camera, great for landscapes and portraits. Has a great optical zoom of up to 38x and when set on macro amazing closeups. One you get used to all the options you will love it.
