[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1485908, member: 22585"]I use a Nikon Coolpix s9100. It is an amazing camera for the price ($200). Spend your remaining $50 on some desk lamps and a good book on coin photography. :) Does great HD movies as well. However, the reviews are not very good for this camera. I read the reviews and bought it anyway. I have not experienced any problems with the camera so far. Trust me, this camera has taken a beating in the short time I have had it so far. Thousands of pictures and no hiccups yet. You really can't go wrong with any higher-end point and shoots.

Although it may help right out of the box, it is not the answer. It's lighting positions and knowing your camera and how to use it. Think of it this way: People will buy new $1000 golf clubs because they think their game will improve. If they don't have the proper technique and swing, the new clubs will not help. They will give you 20 more yards on your ball, but that's 20 more yards into the woods you have to go to find your ball.[/QUOTE]
