Message:: [QUOTE="FreakyGsMom, post: 608716, member: 17127"]Kanga, Nice set-up! :thumb: Have fun playing with it and figuring it all out. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> There is quite a learning curve to photographing coins.  Some of the guys on here make it look like a piece of cake and Garrett and I struggle for every shot we get. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Hobo posted his setup and he's got quite a setup as does Rickie B. I researched copy stands yesterday after reading Hobo's post. There is quite a bit on info to be had on this forum to help with not only coins, but things that go hand in hand with coins. :high5: We're looking into investing in a DSLR ourselves.  I have a Canon G9 and Garrett is quite interested in photography so we're currently looking at the D90, Nikon D5000 and Canon T1Si.  Garrett is selling a Fugio to help with the expense of the camera.  I bought 3 digital photography magazines at Barnes & Noble yesterday.  BTW, this months Consumer Reports reviewed cameras and the D90 was their top pick for DSLR.  So far Costco is the best price I've found.  Their prices even beat the Navy Exchange.  G is off to high school next year and he is going to join the photography club and yearbook, so I want to get something that he can use for that too.[/QUOTE]
