I am looking for a compact (or small bridge) camera for talking pics of coins and similar sized items for recording and posting on line. It probably doesn't count as true macro, but I need something that will enable me to reasonable fill the shot with say a 5p sized subject..
It will be used in doors on a small copy stand...I currently use a Lumix TZ25, but when I shoot very close up shots, although the subject is sharp, I get a degree of barrel distortion across the wider frame..
Please don't suggest a DSLR set up; I know that's the way to go if I were doing it seriously, but I am looking for a compact and convenient set up..
Also, I am not looking to spend serious money; ideally I am looking to something second hand, say three or four years old, but it must have better close up/macro performance than the TZ25 I have now..
Thanks in advance,
Peter
