<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1804499, member: 15199"]The camera was not designed for accurate high definition photography, it was designed for human pleasing magnification. But the same software which does digital ( not optical) magnification , does so by using a smaller sample of pixels, enlarging each and then smoothing the edges so it doesn't seem pixelated. It does this by blending the edges of the pixels . Great for girlfriend 25 ft. away, but when done on such as coins, artifacts ( artificial image) it can appear one has a DD or doesn't have a RPM. You can't depend on the "truthfulness" of the image. Basically it is like being the apple version of photoshopped. So yes they will look good, but you can't see the 'acne' so they will all appear much nicer grade with fewer errors or varieties...or new unknown ones <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
