  Is everyone using a macro lens?

  I would think your camera would be adequate, assuming you have a decent macro setting. I have a similar camera and have been able to get decent shots experimenting with shutter speeds and non-florescent lighting.
  
  Does your camera have a setting for shutter speed priority? Also, as has been said many time before, a tripod is necessary. I have a remote shutter control, which also helps.

  No shutter speed control, no shutter speed priority, I use a lamp with a GE Reveal bulb, and I use a tripod.

  Becoka just started a forum on coin photography, and I know "what is your setup" is one of the topics, there is already some good info and camera folk over there.
  
  Here is the link to the Photo Forum
