DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/17/2010 9:15 pm I shot this today; it's a good example of how easy coin photos are using the CanonSD790IS. In this case, I used only low natural light and pushed the speed to ISO 800. The results are still pretty good for hand-held. Edited by DVCollector 11/17/2010 9:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/18/2010 5:04 pm Thanks! It's a little distorted because I used macro at 1.0X, which creates some barrel distortion. I get better results with my SD790 (or 780) using 1.4-1.8X, because it flattens the field. Report this Post to the Staff
