Camera Question For Photographing Coins

Mine seems to be acceptable -- it has a Macro option (which is what you want for coin shots) and is reasonable in price. They probably do not make them anymore, but can probably get them used on ebay for next to nothing. Canon PowerShot SX110 IS. Be sure you get the "IS" version. Hope this helps.

What is your budget?

Hello,

Only if you possess or will acquire an iPhone 4S or later try checking out this thread:

I used to brag about a $ 30 USB camera on a CCF thread that gained a lot of attention but this low end camera could never produce the required detail I wanted especially on high luster, reflective-type coins.

Therefore, I have put my efforts into learning more about the intricacies of something that I already owned that required very little outlay of additional cash.

Remember, just as was previously stated in this thread by Foxwoodsman lighting IS the overall dominant factor in producing acceptable coin photos for subsequent uploading to sites like ebay etc.

Good luck,
