<p>[QUOTE="RickieB, post: 114648, member: 2486"]Hey guy's... for most coin pics all you need is ~2MP shoot in jpeg basic and walla... the only catch is the need for macro/micro focusing. Most modern digatal cameras have some sort of macro or telephoto. You have a minimal focal distance with the lens you use..read the manual and it will tell you! I suggest cutting a piece of string or tape it to the bottom of your camera and measure each time for the correct focal distance. Your pics will be sharp and clear. Use any 3rd party software to enlarge them after you crop so you can show detail. Remember that resolution provides how much you can enlarge the shot before distortion on an individual pixel level occurs. The higher the MP the greater the resolution. I personally use a nikon 6.1 MP D-100 with an array of lenses, close up lens as in 1,2,3 and 4T normally with a 105mm or 60mm f 2.8 Nikor lens.</p><p>That does the trick...</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck..</p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
