I would first recomend that you figure out how much you are willing to pay for the equipment. I am willing to pay alot more than most people because I do photograhy as a hobby and as a side job. Then you need to do your research before you purchase. I would suggest that you get the best that is in you price range. I had alot of camera'a in my lifetime and the quality of the camera and the lens makes a difference in the pictures taken. I had a Canon point and shoot camera with a decent macro function and it took very bad pictures. I could not get a good coin picture out of that camera for my life. Just my 2 cents. CC[/QUOTE]
