All Around Digital Camera

#1 Unread post by DSCoins »

I'm looking for recommendations on a good all around camera for taking coin photos, recording coin unrolling and as a webcam for online live chat with my doctors online appointments? The range I can go is around two hundred dollars.


Thanks

Logitech 922 is what I use for my videos and it would work well.

I'm not a coin expert, but do work in tech and have some experience with online meetings, videos and the like. (Full transparency, I'm still learning how to take quality stills with coins).

Not sure if you have a smartphone, DSCoins, would recommend you start there. I have an Apple iPhone Xs and use it regularly for online business meetings and videos. I've started to look into software such as VSCO and Camera+ for taking and editing good pictures and bought an inexpensive ringlight/phone stand combo (at Amazon) to get better lighting and to hold the phone and keep it steady.
