[QUOTE="adelv_unegv, post: 240576, member: 7247"]Like previously stated, Macro Mode and a tripod. as for recommendations, a camera that's capable of focusing while close to the subject. Many "pro-sumer" models have a threaded barrel to attach a close-up set (filters). A close up set will allow you to move the camera much closer to the work. More expensive "professional" models have interchangable lenses - including close-up lenses. (but they're spendy.) Personally, I don't recommend buying a camera for a specific task (like shooting coins) unless you intend to do a lot of that task. Basic "consumer" models are intended primarily for snapshots-for-the-family-album type thing, but they often have enough functionality to allow decent pics of close-ups. before plopping down more money for another camera, check for Macro. It allows the camera to focus much closer than the snapshot mode. Your camera may already be able to do what you want.[/QUOTE]
