<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CohibaCris, post: 9225, member: 904&quot;]I know that a lot of the &quot;budget&quot; digital cameras in that price range do not have a macro mode.&nbsp; If you spend some time looking around, you might be able to find a camera that you can get a macro lens for it, but otherwise those with a macro mode built in are tough to have under $400.</p><p><br /></p><p>My personal opinion on this is to get terrific pictures of your coins in general, you can get away with a Nikon Coolpix 2200 (2Mpx, no macro) and a tripod.&nbsp; Use the timer to take the shots via remote, and don&#039;t get the lens any closer than 6 inches from the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are looking for errors, high res tight shots of coins, etc, you are looking at a little more money.&nbsp; I just picked up the Nikon 5400 with the built in macro and a 5Mpx resolution.&nbsp; A bit more than the 2200, but well worth it for the VAM searching I am planning for the tool.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps.</p><p>Cris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
