[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 100494, member: 1892"]As the acknowledged electronics geek in the family and my circle of friends, I get asked a lot about digital cameras. I'm going to say the same thing to you that I do to everyone else - go to Best Buy or Walmart and get a Canon A520. There is simply nothing else in that price range ($200) that combines the A520's capabilities all in one package. It's a 4MP, 4x zoom point-and-shoot with excellent macro capabilities. It can be run fully automatic, or fully manual once you become more comfortable with photography and want to start playing. It will take excellent pics of your coins in macro mode at resolutions far larger than you can display here, while being the perfect in-your-shirt-pocket vacation camera. And I mean in your pocket - it's only 3.5x2.5x1.5 inches thick. Here's a review from a trustworthy site: [url]http://www.steves-digicams.com/2005_reviews/a520.html[/url] Currently around $180 at Walmart, and $199 at Best Buy. That's so close to the best online prices that it's worth the extra for return and warranty support. I'd buy one myself if I didn't already have a perfectly good camera with the features I need.[/QUOTE]
