<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ordinary Fool, post: 2790733, member: 85318&quot;]Oh yeah, I recall that now. Danged shame a 400 buck Sony wouldn&#039;t cut it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am certain plenty of fine rigs exist scored for ~100 bucks exist that will take one single huge picture of each side of your coin able to be sliced up into pieces showing as much detail as you need.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think a Canon Rebel with a Sigma 105mm Macro zoom is pretty popular and they pop up on craigslist, pawnshops and other places from time to time. I saw one recently without that exact lens, but a very good canon lens, on craigslist for 100.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure there are many others and fortunately I haven&#039;t had to consider replacing my Fuji Finepix (Amazon likely starting at 70 bucks or so to 170 new) which is pretty much point and shoot which will do the deed no problem. Mounted to a tripod (which stinks since the put the battery/memory card where it then becomes trapped) or in a microscope stand where it really shines.</p><p><br /></p><p>4 bills will get you a wifi camera rig and quite a bit more.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be able to cast what your camera is seeing onto your computer screen next to the pix on the attribution sites... nice, just like your scope but much higher image quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am holding out for is a new release Samsung device (the new Note) with some interesting phone gear on it and enough horsepower to do point and shoot image stacking. Hopefully that won&#039;t hold back on the RAM. We&#039;ll see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
