<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1191250, member: 19463"]The eBay sale listing shows it is adjustable for picture sizes up to 1600x1200 pixels while the samples shown are smaller. If this can be adjusted without using the virus-disk, you might find better results shooting larger for paper prints and downsizing to the size you want for online use. If the resolution setting is controlled only by the software on the disk, it might not be 'real' size control but just blowing up the default and certainly wouldn't be worth risking the disk use. If there is a control on the camera, please shoot some larger ones and post samples.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another trick with this sort of unit is to turn off the provided LED's and use another light source (open window nearby is one). The full coin quarter has a lot of glares from the several lights that might not look as good as ambient daylight (but not direct sun). These units are made for super close use and the lights are positioned to do best with mintmark size subjects rather than full coins. For mintmarks, they are hard to beat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
