<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 797702, member: 19463&quot;]Many point and shoot, low end cameras will focus very close but only if you set the camera to macro mode.&nbsp; That usually causes a small tulip shaped icon to appear on the display.&nbsp; You may have sent back that camera for no good reason if you didn&#039;t set the tulip.&nbsp; The problem with most cheaper cameras is that they only focus close at the wide angle end of their zoom so you have to be so close to the coin that no light falls on it because of your shadow.</p><p><br /></p><p>The feature to seek out is one that has a macro setting at both the long and short zoom settings.&nbsp; I don&#039;t keep up with current cheap cameras but a real salesperson at a real camera shop could help you.</p><p><br /></p><p>...and there is nothing wrong with using a scanner as long as you learn to use it.&nbsp; No $100 camera I&#039;ve seen can outshoot a $100 scanner but this changes as you move up in price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
