QUERY: CELL PHONE CAMERAS FOR TAKING NUMISMATIC IMAGES

Bruce W. Smith writes:

I am thinking of buying a cell phone and understand that most now come with the ability to take images. What I want to know is, has anyone compared different phones for the ability to take images of coins or paper money? Maybe none of them will image something that small. Does anyone know? If I buy a new cell phone, I would want one which can take images of coins and notes.

I'm not sure if any of these devices have macro lenses or lens attachments. I do use my Droid X's camera for family photos and the occasional E-Sylum illustration, but not for numismatic items themselves. But I've never been much of a photographer. Can anyone help? -Editor
