<p>[QUOTE="rmpsrpms, post: 1532247, member: 31773"]Not to be a party-pooper, but based on my experience, the XSi may actually give you better results than the D90. The XSi has EFSC, a feature that Nikon still hasn't implemented. I use a T2i for most of my work and it was a big step forward vs my D7000, especially for variety shots. I published some comparisons on a couple other coin forums if you are interested. I do mostly Cents, which are much tougher than Dollars to image with good sharpness. If you do mostly Dollars, you probably won't see much difference between the cameras. Note however that even with Dollars, you will need to be more careful of your aperture with the higher megapixel camera. The higher the pixel count for same size sensor, the smaller the pixels, and tougher it is for your lens. Now, your new lens will likely be a good upgrade not for quality but for working distance, especially if you are shooting Dollars. The longer working distance will give you more lighting flexibility. </p><p><br /></p><p>Note that I'm not a Nikon or Canon person. I use my D7000 for general use and for outdoor macro shots. But the EFSC feature of Canon make it the superior choice for studio macro work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
