<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jesh, post: 749159, member: 16382&quot;]This is all said without regards to the price, since with that limited of a budget for photography I am trying to help the guy get the best for the price. As for the info, half of it shouldn&#039;t be said, because you are going to go way over $100.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They are not &#039;more trouble then they are worth&#039;. And one of the best lenses you can get for numismatic photography is a 100mm Canon Macro, used on a full body frame it&#039;s 100mm, on a cropped body (say a 1.6) it&#039;s 160mm. Well worth it if you can afford it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]62940.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He want&#039;s a budget camera $100. A tripod mount? A good tripod is going to cost you hundred (think Gitzo), sorry, but a cheap aluminum tripod is worst then handheld most of the time, especially on a SLR. (It&#039;s SLR by the way, not LSR). A hotshoe for an additional flash on a compact?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A CB-LX2 for instance costs $15. Hardly close to the price of the camera. The LC-E6 for the EOS 5 Mark II is a little more expensive, yes, valid there. The battery itself is $35, if you need a new one. One of my Powershots has had the same battery for several years...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Incorrect, what if he needs to crop? Since the camera won&#039;t focus at the distance he wants, he will most likely need to crop. For printing size, yeah, he won&#039;t need more then 4, but 8 is ideal. Not many manufacturers even make 4mp anymore since the huge misconception of &#039;the more MP the sharper the picture.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Take two pictures, one of pure black, one of pure grey and look for a bad sensor. Not &#039;hundreds&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
