Rather New To Collecting On A Budget(Want To Take Good Pics)

one dosen't need to spend afortune on a cameara , its how you understand how to use what you have...I have seen lately some good post of coins by the camera. but they are not that food for posting or selling, or for esetimating grade values, but hey have been ok...This channel/foreum has questioned the most "el cheapo" needs to the high end of coin photography....such as it is...It really depends on ho9w you want to represent what you have......For example....really over light the coin and the needed detail is gone...the ebayer thinks they know, the missing defects in reality
when they get it. they can now see the defects.....My point here is
You can find an 8MP or 12MP for a decent price....one thing to note, these are all point and shoot camera's...$100 say to $300...either way, if you have not control over the camera, my meaning is a programable camera
your left with the camear deciding what you what...these
usually have wheel at the top of the camera.......if not, you have no control...one set up. will not be the same results the next time you turn the camera on...What is it you wish to do with the camera..?..Coins are one thing,,but there is a whole world out there, beyond just a coin...

I'm no expert,but in all the posts I read people mention custom white balancing as an important feature
