<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1076030, member: 19065"]Viewfinders on most compact cameras don't allow you to look through the lens directly at what you would be shooting anymore than does the big screen on the back of digital cameras. If you want to see what your lens is seeing you need a Digital SLR (DSLR). The screen on most cameras is more than sufficient for composing images in real time of what you want to shoot and should be easier on your eyes than squinting into a tiny viewfinder, which is why many of those are disappearing from compact digital point-and-shoot cameras. No matter what you are using to shoot with, coin pics are greatly improved with adequate lighting and when the camera is mounted to a tripod or copy stand to eliminate camera-shake. But your photos earlier in the thread are sufficient for this thread. Maybe others need more views of the coins in question, so you could post more photos with what you currently have as a camera if needed. I think you did a great job with what you posted so far considering it's just a cell phone camera.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
