[QUOTE="bsowa1029, post: 1701103, member: 34652"]You don't need an expensive camera to take nice photos of your coins. I have a nice refurbished point & shoot I got for $100 and a tripod that was in the $20 range and a couple goose neck halogen lamps that were $13 each. And I am very satisfied with the quality of my images. Here's an example of some images I took recently: [ATTACH]259482.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]259483.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]259485.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]259484.vB[/ATTACH] Yeah they're not super high res and you can't zoom WAY in without the image starting to look really grainy, but for under $150 I think they're pretty good. I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times, and I don't doubt you'll hear it a thousand more, it takes practice and the most important thing is the lighting. I agree. How else will you show them off?[/QUOTE]
