Would you believe I used a Kodak Easy Share C913 9.2 megapixels to take these with?



All I did was hold a 10x loupe up to the camera's lens and adjust my distance from the coin and snap, there it is.

 

wow ill have to try that one

 

Under $100 at Wal-Mart.

 

I use a Canon ELPH 300 to take mediocre shots like these:


Though I'm sure if I took more time I could get much better.

 

BTW, I got it with a bundle package for $179 on Black Friday, I think normal retail is something like $230

 

My loupe is too small to focus on the whole coin time for a new camera.

 

I use a nikon D3100

 

Cannyn, what program do you use to apply the 'fancy' backgrounds?

 

Photoscape. I've been asked this so many times, I keep the link on hand.

Err, I need an Admin password to complete the download and my parents are out....

 

I think the lighting is more important than the camera in most cases. I can take some pretty nice pics with my Droid X phone if I can get the lighting right.

 

im currently using a Cannon power shot a560 way outdated, whenever i get close the whole screen goes blurry just cant handle it anymore.

 

As long as the camera has a macro setting, technique is more important than the camera.

 

try B & h or Adorama online. they also have used equipment
