The fact is it&#039;s not the blanket &quot;more the merrier&quot; type of thing many make it out to be where 10 is better than 5, and 20 better than 10 etc, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>To somewhat add to the earlier gentleman&#039;s point about sensor coverage, there are ways to increase it if you don&#039;t feel you&#039;re getting close enough. There are cheap adapter-type lenses (may have been discussed earlier in this thread?) to simple diopters (often called &quot;closeup filters&quot;) which I found helpful in the early days of digital. All depends on what you want to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>If interested in stepping up to a newer camera, though, there are a number of very nice and affordable options available (especially if willing to buy used) that would provide you with a significantly larger sensor and the ability to use different lenses, including a proper macro. If just for shooting coins to share on the forum, this may not be worth it, but if you wish to use a camera for the pups, family, grandkids, vacations, etc, whatever, one may be worth looking in to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
