<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 515376, member: 11521&quot;]That camera should allow you to take great photos of your coins. As tps said, you will need a macro lens.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I use a Nikon D300 with a Sigma 105mm Macro lens for coin photography. The D300 is a lot more camera (and costs a <u>LOT</u> more) than the D60 but I opted for it because I wanted the extra features. The D60 will be fine for you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am slowly assembling my coin photography set-up. I ordered a copy stand and hope to have it in a few days. I suggest that you consider getting a copy stand too because the camera must be kept still when doing macro photography to get good, sharp images. You will also need good lights and software to edit your images. (I recommend Photoshop Elements.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also recommend that you get a copy of <i>Numismatic Photography</i> by Mark Goodman. It has a ton of good info for the beginner and intermediate coin photographer. (Do a search of CoinTalk for a book review that I did of this book.) </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are some excellent coin &amp; currency photographers here. (I don&#039;t consider myself one - yet - but I&#039;m working on it.) Feel free to ask questions or post some or your photos for critique any time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
