<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dj Shift, post: 1726913, member: 50289&quot;]@Jester, the cameras you&#039;re picking up are most likely DSLRs based on your description (or the big, bulky, black ones that will always be the best. Lol.) The reasons this is happenning are due to the fact that they all come standard with the 18-55 lenses which are meant for normal ranges and the macro setting will not change that. What the macro does is reduces your ISO so you get a nice short range focus at the same length (so, lets say it&#039;s for flower photography or model cars.) What you will need to do with one of these cameras to use it for coins is to either pick out the one you like and purchase a short range macro lens seperately (a very, very short one.) Or you could buy a very long lens with a minimum focal range of around 150 or 200 so you can just zoom way in on the coin and use your camera for some nice landscapes as another advantage. Or you could purchase a camera with a very high megapixel count (somewhere around 24 megapixels, i really like the Nikon D3200s if you go for this option) so you can just crop way in on the coin without losing any details. All these options will do the same thing but they are all going to be fairly expensive (i&#039;d say you&#039;ll be spending somewhere between $600 and $1,500) but they will all be great investments to do. If you really want a good purchase, i&#039;d say you should go with a Nikon D3200 or a Canon EOS T3i and pair it with a long lens (i love the 18-200 Nikors); this way, not only will you be taking some stunning coin photos but you could also use it for a side-job of photography and make some nice money shooting weddings and cars to fund your coin collection. That&#039;s what i do and it&#039;s really fun. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
