<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 114837, member: 4552"]To Gemstate. Have you noticed that you asked a simple question and look what you started. I believe you said you presently have a Fuji digital camera. However, it is not real great at close ups. My suggestion to you is to stick with a camera you already know a little about. Just upgrade to the S5000 or better yet the S7000 Fuji. The S7000 has two Macro settings and will take massively good close ups. The S7000 is good for up to 6.3 Megapixels but as someone alread noted you only need about 1 or 2 for coin photos. Not sure about your model but the S5000 and S7000 have 2 card capacities. One is the XD card and the other is the Compact Flash. No need to carry a spare card in case one fails. With a 512KB of each you can take virtually thousands of photos. Both take 4 AA batteries of either recharge or Alkalines. Both have a 55 mm filter ring for additional filters and lenses. Both have built in and add on flash capabilities. No need to buy additional lenses and have to change them all the time. The best thing is the prices have dropped substantially since Fuji came out with the S9000. Not sure about the S5000 but even the S7000 is now really cheap. </p><p> As I said though you are already familiar with a Fuji so I suggest stick to that brand.</p><p>If you want to just check out some great camera stuff I would suggest B & H.
