<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2362001, member: 19463&quot;]The fact here is you do not want the best camera but the one that fits you best.&nbsp; We see many reports stating that you do not need a great camera but too often those opinions are accompanied by photos that are hardly good let alone great.&nbsp; To be answered, the question must be accompanied by a price bracket and what use you intend to make of the photos.&nbsp; A full frame digital SLR will make paper prints 20x30&quot; which 99% of us will never make.&nbsp; A used digital camera from 15 years ago can make &#039;pretty good&#039; images for selling things on eBay.&nbsp; I prefer using a rack built from scrap wood costing 1/4 as much to make as it would to mail it across the street.&nbsp; Lights are also inexpensive to buy but require study and practice to learn to use beyond what most people are willing to put into the matter. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have several pages on coin photography which I&#039;d be glad if anyone read but since I only collect ancients most people will have to adapt to a different set of problems for modern issues.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/coinphoto2011ez1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/coinphoto2011ez1.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/coinphoto2011ez1.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I made the slides below for a program I did for a local club.&nbsp; Since many of the coins are modern, you might find some interest there. </p><p><a href="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/coinphotobasic" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/coinphotobasic" rel="nofollow">http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/coinphotobasic</a></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/132250006.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Questions welcomed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
