Can you take pictures of coins with this camera? Close ups for eBay ?

Why YES, you certainly can. You use the MACRO mode (just push the round button at the 3 o'clock position to toggle between normal, horizon, and macro) and you can get as close as 1.5 inches. I use it for snapping the inside of pocket watches to show the movement in crisp detail, and the shots come out amazing. This is a great camera. I may buy a second as a backup for when I inevitably break this by dropping it or something else very stupid. (Ex: I put my last Canon Powershot, which I loved, through the wash by leaving it in my pants pocket! It still worked, but was very sluggish to open so I got this one and am VERY happy.)

Pretty much any camera that advertises "macro focus" (the ability to focus on objects within about an inch of the lens -- necessary if you're selling anything *small*) will be fine these days: All of them have plenty of resolution and perfectly good image quality for eBay/Amazon usages. You'll have no problem finding many cameras <$100 to choose from these days that will work just fine.

unfortunately I bought this camera for my son and he has not used it for close up so I can not answer your questions. Sorry

No, that's a point and shoot camera. You'll need something like a Nikon d3100 or d5200 to use this.

I use it for eBay pics just fine! However it's almost a trick question as any seller does need to learn how to properly take pics. eBay has Discussion Boards of various topics and often we've helped advise people how to improve their pics. What kind of lighting to use, don't hang clothes on droopy hangers, whatever. It also depends on what you're photographing, jewelry, ceramics, etc. Other than that I've used mine like any other camera, pets, garden, formal events, anything you need a camera for!

Thank you for your helpful response. I plan on going ahead and purchasing the camera.

I have only used mine once. I am finding it is kinda a joke to use. I would love to return it. Or even sell it..But other then that it is good for someone who loves to take photos from afar.

Can definitely take pictures in magnification and save them to memory card. They can then be transferred to any computer or drive. I don't know about any POS apps as have had no need for them.

You can, but the camera quality is horrendous. Invest your money in a better tablet. I bought this item and regret it because it is extremely low quality and is unusable.

Thanks to all who have replied to my question. I am really looking for a new full frame camera but don't want to lay out that amount of cash if there are problems.

I have, and it works great for viewing coins. Especially if your looking for that obscure error coin or mintmark. Very strong magnification. The only con is that the light switch wore out after about 3 months and I had to redo it.

This camera is now obsolete, so if you want to buy it, check Ebay. I sold mine last year. Sorry.

I don't know as I haven't had time to try that feature yet but I would contact someone like B& H photo who also sells them and ask as they sell cameras as well and have extensive knowledge on the subject. Sorry My best answer

yes to all, but you may need a magnifying glass to read the manual-guess they were trying to save 10 cents on paper. so far the camera works well...far more features than i will ever use..i'll put in a review elsewhere to add on to this. For about $25 you really can't go wrong-I bought a used 2MP fuji long ago for $30 until it stopped. I am guessing these might be store returns. I'm happy with it, quite happy.

If you really want to use the camera I would suggest buying a card. They are not expensive, as a matter of fact I always keep an extra card or two handy just in case. The alternative is returning and waiting for them to resend. :)

As a former ebayer I would say yes: This would be a great starter for you. It has a software program you install on your computer and "import" from the camera to the computer (or from the scan memory card.)

I am not selling this camera, I just did a review of it since I own one...great camera though
