you need a camera with macro on it to get thoe's close ups and show detail..

Yep, JT is right. The macro really works well. The higher the megapixel, the better too. Then, upload the pic to your computer, crop it, enlarge it and Voila', you have awesome coin photos! thumbsup01

I have a digital Kodak C195 14 mega pixels. I have to do a lot of experimenting with the zoom. I find better pic quality by not zooming in very much, but by physically bringing the camera closer to the object. Very imp with my camera to push button halfway down before snapping a shot, to allow it to focus. Does your camera have that option? I didn't catch what kind you bought... Also, natural lighting works much better for me!
