I use a Canon PowerShot A2500 camera to photograph my coins. It cost around $100 one or two years ago. Does a more expensive camera do a much better job of photographing coins? I've heard it said you need two light sources to properly photograph coins, but I don't have enough room in my tiny apartment to do that. Does it really matter? My coin photographs are pretty good, though I probably can't get good close-ups (like the L on the 1864-L cent) as a more expensive camera).

Lights are pretty small. How big is your apartment?

360 square feet - two rooms. I have a small table that I photograph the coins on.

Jansjo goosenecks have 5" diameter bases. A pair takes up little space.
