Nikon Coolpix L830

You're correct Strach-Man,..these are great pics from that camera.


Question..

Can you take a close up of just one letter in crisp detail for us also.?...maybe crop the pic detail after taking the photo..

This would help the "variety collectors" that zoom in to one specific area... like a fine detail in the date perhaps.

So far great pics in these pages with this simple Coolpix..

I don't have any photography experience whatsoever, but this camera is very simple to use and I am pleased with the results. For ~$200, it does a good job.

I haven't been able to zoom in any specific device/field location yet. I haven't experimented enough to know whether I need to more the coin closer to, or farther away from, the camera. If I try to zoom in too closely the images are very blurry. That isn't a problem,however, because I can crop the image to whatever feature I desire and the images are relatively clear. They are at least as clear, if not clearer than any image I was able to take with my older 8 mp camera. Here are a few examples.







Now, if I can learn how to adjust my lighting properly and learn to how use Photoshop CS6, I might be able to produce some quality images. Wish me luck.

Just bought the camera for 189.00 Plus Taxes thanks again for all the help

What I do is take pics in natural light most of the time.
I take a lot of similar pics and discard the poor ones. I might take 20 pics to get 2 that are perfect/acceptable.

I adjust the lighting or crop and straighten..etc with Picasa3..(free from Google) ..and Bob's your uncle...
