[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2508971, member: 1892"]There's a cool little Chrome Extension called "EXIF Viewer" which I employ. It shows the EXIF data for an image on mouseover, if it's still embedded, which it is in jwitten's images so I know what camera he's using. :) Like many point-and-shoots, it does not offer a manually-adjustable aperture so he's kind of stuck with depth of field as it is. However, the pixel density is relatively low at 5MP, minimum focus distance is only 3", and it certainly seems worthy of inclusion on the list of P&S cameras appropriate for coin photography. Jwitten, it'd be a lot of work for your camera, but if you go to a solid vertical camera mount and axial lighting, it should capture the toning nicely. Toning is quite sensitive to lighting placement and angles, and you just haven't hit on the right combination yet. I expect it's capable of the job. :)[/QUOTE]
