<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samjimmy, post: 165075, member: 3813&quot;]Without getting too technical, it is important to understand a couple of other points...</p><p><br /></p><p>Many scanners are designed to image flat objects.&nbsp; Coins arenot flat, and coins in slabs are actually raised up off the glass just enough that some scanners produce&quot;out of focus&quot; results.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, even if you aquire the ability to be able to determine if a photograph is in focus or not, and the ability to focus (or use an autofocus camera), there is a limitation.&nbsp; Your photograph is only as good as &quot;the glass&quot; mreaning the lens itself.&nbsp; Some lenses are shaper than others.&nbsp; That doesn&#039;t mean you have to drop $1,500 on a lens, just that the lens you use has to be sharp (and there are plenty of sharp lenses for $200).&nbsp; If you expect a poin and shoot (with simple element lenses that are tiny) to perform as well as larger lenses, you will often be disappointed, however there are poin and shoots that do a decent job and some better point and shoots are really much more than the crappy 110 or 126 film point and shoots that I used to use to take pictures when I was a wee lad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
