My camera stepup consist of:

1) Canon S2 with a Canon 250D 58mm Close up lens and a Canon Hood

2) A Testrite CS-1L Copy Stand W/ Lights

3) 2-OTT-LITE(R) TrueColor(TM) Swirl Bulb 20Watt. I used the ott lights for this Walker pictue.

I really like the 250D better than the 500D but most of my pictures consist of Half Dollars.

The 250D just works better for me on the halves. If I collected and took images of cents, dimes I would go with the 500D.

Both will work with your S5, you will need to buy a Canon Conversion Adapter LA-DC58E and I think that it cost about $10 and the 250D or 500D will screw into the Adapter.

Just some El-cheap-o lights fixtures I picked up on ebay. I like them because you can adjust them right down on the coin.

My copystand came with these lights.

Here's a link where you can get copy stands. I haven't bought from them so I have no idea how good they are. I believe you can do the same with a tripod.
