<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 1054505, member: 22585&quot;]I was just given a used camera from a relative and of course I immediately had to try it out on coins. Because of course, I judge the quality of a camera on how good it takes coin images. </p><p>I snapped these photos under my dining room table light, in the dansco with the sleeve pulled out, while holding the camera. So no fancy lighting setup, shadow box or tripods.</p><p>The camera is a GE A1050 10 mp. It goes for $35-$60 used or $100 new on ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eveything is on auto.&nbsp; I used auto levels in image software.&nbsp; The images you see are a a near perfect representation of how they look in hand. I was pretty amazed they turned out so well. </p><p><br /></p><p>If there is enough interest I could create a tutorial video on how to use imaging software to cut out, auto level and create the mirror effects(like the last picture).</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think? I left the second one in high resolution so you can see the high detail.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.statworx.com/coins/1940NICKEL.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.statworx.com/coins/nickels2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.statworx.com/coins/nickels3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.statworx.com/coins/nickels5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.statworx.com/coins/nickels6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is full resolution of a date. If doubling was present, I think you would see it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.statworx.com/coins/nickels8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
