<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rhino89, post: 1056138, member: 21773&quot;]For that price range, forget the camera. You&#039;re better off getting a scanner. I personally have a flatbed Cannon FB630U and it&#039;s very simple but gets the job done. You can get up to 1200 dpi, and for coins you rarely would need more than that. It costs $10-$30 (seriously, look over at ebay or amazon) for a typical Cannon flatbed scanner. You won&#039;t get the amazing shots that people get with full lusters and everything from fancy set-ups and fancy lighting, but I am personally happy enough with these kinds of shots:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/subliminalxtac/191350kopekFront.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Plenty of detail, usually picks up the true colors of the coin, and no fancy set-up needed (not even photoshop or anything... that blue background is an empty folder i threw on top of the coin before i closed the scanner lid.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With cameras, the biggest pain for me is getting all the settings right to have the photos pick up the right colors of the coin. With the scanner, I never had to adjust anything, it just scans, that&#039;s all. Plain and simple.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
