<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1617645, member: 29751&quot;]I agree about the megapixels point Todd.&nbsp; What I think gets lost in this discussion is that most of the 4MP point and shoot (cheap) cameras from the early 2000&#039;s can&#039;t fill the entire sensor with the coin.&nbsp; So, in that case where your camera can&#039;t focus close enough to the coin, the megapixels or resolution of the sensor will make a difference to the final size and quality of the image.</p><p><br /></p><p>I shot with a 14 MP Canon Point and Shoot for over a year before I set up my bellows/DSLR rig.&nbsp; Even with a 2010 model camera, with a macro (tulip button) function, you could not fill the entire viewfinder with the smaller coins (i.e., anything less than a Morgan).&nbsp; Thus, by the time you cut&nbsp; away all of that dead space, what you&#039;re left with is fine for a 700 x 700 web displayed image, but you could never create posters from these trimmed images.&nbsp; I assume your 10 and 14MP cameras with which you have created posters were DSLRs with a dedicated macro lens that allowed you to fill the entire frame with the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
