Don't want to go through the trouble of setting something up if it will not work. Thank you in advance for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Best thing to do is try it and report back. I'd put it on its highest zoom level, and then get as close as you can to the coin, and let's see how much of the sensor it can fill. Start with the smallest coin you plan to shoot, probably a Dime or Cent, and just shoot it!

I will admit, I took terrible pictures at first but I am starting to see that after more than several thousand pictures, I did get better at it. I think that is the lesson learned for me. No matter what camera, practicing will improve your pictures over time. Here's a couple I just took in the past couple days. It is only reduced in size and cropped. No sharpening or other tweaks. A table lamp was to the left. I think . . . If I had a much better camera, it would still take practice to get good. Report this Post to the Staff
