<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zekeguzz, post: 1200291, member: 15455&quot;]I am in need of a camera to photograph coins.&nbsp; Presently I borrow my son Sean&#039;s Canon PowerShot S3 IS.&nbsp; I use it with an adapter and A Ranox M-250 Macro lens mounted on a copy stand and this works very well for me.</p><p>Well, it&#039;s time to get my own camera now.&nbsp; I&#039;ve felt like a mooch all these years. </p><p>My budget is $500 dollars tops including tax and in New York State it runs about 8.5%</p><p>+ or - .5%.&nbsp; </p><p>I would like to get a camera that has an plug in for a dc supply and that limits me greatly. Otherwise I&#039;ll have to get a spare rechargeable battery and that can run $50 bucks or more.</p><p>My main worry is that these high zoom cameras don&#039;t or cannot take undistorted&nbsp; pics.</p><p>They seem to not consider Macro Mode very important. There is no camera in my price range that will let me incorporate an adapter with a macro lens.</p><p>I&#039;ve read up on what is most important to have in the camera&#039;s specs such as &#039; white balance&#039; and &#039; manual focus&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p>I just read a thread here that the camera he uses is a $25 JVC GC QX3HD 3.3 mp.</p><p>This camera is five to eight years old but the pics this person gets are stunning which is good enough for me.&nbsp; This camera is almost unattainable now but there must be</p><p>an equivalent to it now.</p><p>Well I&#039;ve rambled on long enough.&nbsp; What I need are suggestions on which camera to purchase. What ones in my price range have you used or are still using?</p><p>Please help me!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; zeke[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
