<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2164781, member: 4373&quot;]Sometimes a DSLR can be more trouble than its worth if you aren&#039;t used to it. You can get a DSLR camera and then you may have to look at micro lens which adds to the cost drastically. I do own one and have experimented with it - just hated how cumbersome the process is. </p><p><br /></p><p>A compact camera can surprisingly do a decent job as long as it has a macro zoom. The camera that I have is a Pentax W90 which includes a 1cm macro zoom. I&#039;ve been using it for probably about 4-5 years. I probably snapped about 7000 photos on it. Another 10000+ photos on the DSLR. Once you practice taking that many photos, you&#039;ll get a hang of it. I&#039;m certain newer compact models can take better photos than mine. As for lighting, I just use a standard table lamp. Try experimenting with various light bulbs as they have different color temperature. So far this is good for most coins except UNC and proof coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
