Looking into recording some detecting video , just looking for a good camera with 1080p and also has macro to get good details on coins plus can't be to big
Sounds stupid, but I use my iPhone5's camera for small shots. It's actually quite good.
Though, when I REALLY want some macro detail, I'll pull out my Canon Rebel EOS. Mostly, I just use it for taking pictures of coins and then zooming in to see detail (like dates). Using a camera is 10x easier than trying to make it out with a 20x magnifier.
I haven't done video yet, though my Nikon coolpix s30 does it. Its an under$100 camera thats water & shockproof, and does great closeup shots with good detail
Nikon Coolpix here also. Fits in my cargo pocket on my 5.11 concealed carry vest side pocket. It's very light and does both vid and stills, with a macro mode, night mode, plus many more and has digital and mechanical zoom
Yeah I'm only taking video. I will capture snapshot from computer upon exporting. Took out today and about to review the first footage. Found my first nickels today ranging 43-68 total of 5
