KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 09/17/2008 02:33 am Hi, I don't have this camera (I have a Nikon D70S), but just out of curiousity I looked at some specs. Here's one thing I read: Quote: "The Z712 IS doesn't let you get terribly close to your subject in macro mode. The minimum distance is 12 cm at wide-angle and 1.2 m at telephoto." This review doesn't have any coin photos, but their test shot doesn't look too good in regards to flatness of field, which is important for coin shots. For a camera that only has one lens option, make sure it works well for macro...testing in a shop is probably the best way. You might also check out my review of the Nikon S51, which also does a decent job at coin macros. Good luck! Here's an example of what my Nikon D70S does with the Nikkor 60mm macro (closest focus is 6.5cm): (click for detail) Report this Post to the Staff

rogers Valued Member Canada 122 Posts	Posted 12/02/2008 1:20 pm I have this camera, unfortunately I can't figure out how to get good macro pictures out of it... I use an old Nikon Coolpix 5MP 3x optical zoom in macro zoomed all the way, then crop the picture. Unfortunately I don't get the large and detailed pictures I'm seeing here.
