[QUOTE="Stang1968, post: 1396229, member: 35684"]Raw 99% of the time. I only own a handful of slabbed coins, although I expect to add more this year. I read some of the threads here and elsewhere on the net. Looks like I need to change some settings on my camera, and try to use more diffused lighting. I have multiple cameras to play with, but I think I will use my old Canon PowerShot A80 (4.0MP) because it allows for significant manual control over exposure, balance, shutter, etc. I was reading about light boxes, but their cost is prohibitively expensive.
