<p>[QUOTE="AnkurJ, post: 1493146, member: 37561"]The picture looks pretty good for a point and shot camera! Place the lights at 10 and 2oclock. Add a third at 12 to get more color and luster. For darker coins, bump up the exposure, for white coins keep it a little lower. With Macro mode you want to try to keep your aperature wide open so the most amount of light gets into the lens. Not sure if you can control aperature on that camera though. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for a camera, a DSLR with a dedicated Macro lens will ALWAYS do better than a point and shot.
