<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3904727, member: 72790"]I do railroad photography as another hobby. Trying to get snap shots of fast moving trains is not so easy with the cell phone cameras. For the trains I use Nikon and Canon SLR's with zoom lenses and high speed settings. But for coins which aren't going anywhere I agree that I can get good enough shots from my cell phone. My avatar is from my cell phone. If I need to really magnify a coin I use an SLR with a macro lens and make a print, then take a picture of the blow up paper print with cell phone. That gives me an image like something taken with a microscope.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
