[QUOTE="Stork, post: 2839544, member: 71642"]Just out of curiosity, what is the camera like on your cell phone? It's probably more than the 4 megapixels. I've posted these before, but they may help you. It may be that your cellphone has a camera adequate for your needs. My cell phone did this one: [IMG]https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/YN3h8dSSqeRWaeQiQ5BQ_M34%20yen%20combo.jpg[/IMG] My bought-used 10 megapixel camera did this one: [IMG]https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/mVG94gIQ5ebWk7yc4jBw_yen%20M34%20combo.jpg[/IMG] A difference in lights helped I'm sure, but you can see the overall quality. The cell phone actually does pretty well with anything to stabilize it (a toilet paper roll, an upturned cup, a mini phone holding tripod) and a bluetooth release shutter (about $7 on Amazon). Some kind of flexible lighting works too--gooseneck and I have been using the Jansjo lights (Ikea $9.99, two or three of them with a bit of a diffuser over them--square coin tube lids). Also my cell phone for something a bit larger than a coin: [IMG]https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/JWweEHKKT6W3tUF2dGwa_Turin%20Buizard%20combo.jpg[/IMG] Anything down to about a dime sized photo were reasonable with the phone.[/QUOTE]
