jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 03/19/2015 10:35 am Looking for some advice here... I currently do all of my coin photography via my iPhone 5 and have been quite happy with that for the last couple of years... I have an upgrade so I am planning on getting the iPhone 6 or 6 plus and am trying to figure out which would be better for coin photography? I looked at the side by side comparison and it appeared the only difference with the camera would be 6 with digital image stabilization while 6 plus has optical image stabilization? Not sure what that is? Any other advice or suggestions? Boardwalk Numismatics http://stores.ebay.com/jdmern/ https://boardwalknumismatics.com Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/19/2015 10:54 am Digital image stabilization uses software to correct shake and optical stabilization has either the lens or the sensor actually moving to counteract shake. The former isn't so good, but neither will be in play for coin imaging. Turn it off if possible to shoot. Your camera will be sitting still. OIS will be better in real-world shooting. Both cameras are otherwise identical. If you want one or the other - given Apple's record with this, you can expect it to be good with coins - choose based on other criteria. You should be OK.

No matter what photographic setup one chooses, iPhone or not, 80% of the photo quality stems from proper lighting approaches. After reading the thread below I'm sure you'll find out that many of the tips and techniques discussed can equally apply to either the 5, 6, or 6 Plus. https://goccf.com/t/160092 IMO, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff
