<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pennsteve, post: 1376272, member: 33011&quot;]You don&#039;t need to get something expensive.&nbsp; Just get yourself an aiptek like I have.&nbsp; It is a camcorder, 8 megapixel digital camera, mp3 player, etc all in one.&nbsp; They are cheap cameras and don&#039;t take the best pictures or videos, BUT, with a little ingenuity it can be a nice macro camera.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the photo you can see there is a macro switch on the side. The&nbsp; macro on the camera isn&#039;t very good, but if you get a 10x loupe like the one in the other picture and just tape it onto the front of the camera, put the camera on a steady tripod, set the timer, then zoom in and move the tripod toward or away from the coin until it&#039;s not blurry....then push the button to take the picture and just wait for the countdown.&nbsp;&nbsp; This way you won&#039;t get a blurry picture from pushing the button.&nbsp;&nbsp; The camera in the picture isn&#039;t mine, but it is exactly like mine except for the color.&nbsp;&nbsp; The coin pictures are ones I took with this camera.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit:&nbsp; The tripod I was using wasn&#039;t a very good one and I had to take the pictures a couple of times, so you&#039;ll want a half decent tripod.&nbsp; The one I used was one I got at dollar tree for a dollar. No good at ALL. lol&nbsp; Oh, and those aipteks are really cheap.&nbsp; You can get them new for probably 40 bucks or so, but I haven&#039;t priced them so they could be a little more or a little less.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit again!: I forgot, if you do this, make sure the switch on the side is set to macro (the little flower symbol).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
