<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 2664179, member: 31773&quot;]Here is the collage comparing D7000 vs T2i, Normal vs Live View. For the D7000, Live View eliminates Shutter Shake since it takes the exposure before cycling the mirror. Same for all (?) Nikon and Canon cameras, which is why Live View is so important to use when doing macro photography. For the T2i, Live View also engages EFSC, so that the shutter does not cycle before the shot, eliminating shutter shake.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad273/rparkhurst/Optics%20Favorites/D7kvsT2i.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Like SuperDave, I use Nikon for all my walkaround photography, including macro of flowers and bugs and such. This is not because I like Nikon or Canon better for this purpose, just that I have many new and legacy Nikon lenses. I only started using Canon for coins once SuperDave nudged me in that direction several years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am still waiting for any camera company to release a FF sensor, no-AA filter, EFSC/EFCS camera with decent tethering abilities. The D810 is closest to this ideal, but its tethering is less than ideal. Eventually Canon may provide this camera (or maybe Olympus, or even Nikon) but until then the XS and Txi series are still the most advanced cameras for coin photography. The XS, with its larger pixels and low price (given that it&#039;s going on 9 years old now) is still my recommended camera for systems I build.</p><p><br /></p><p>edited to add:</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a link to a Rebel XS body that looks really good for $125 and free shipping. It does not claim to come with the software disk, but I can provide one or you may be able to download the software from Canon once you get the camera by entering its serial number. You NEED the software as it is free and excellent and allows you to tether to your computer for composing, focusing , and taking the shot. This camera would give you a significant boost in ease of use and image quality on higher magnification images vs the D3300.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canon-EOS-Rebel-XS-1000D-10-1-MP-Digital-SLR-Camera-Silver-Body-Only-/152390135734?hash=item237b28efb6:g:OVQAAOSwjDZYdB8a" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canon-EOS-Rebel-XS-1000D-10-1-MP-Digital-SLR-Camera-Silver-Body-Only-/152390135734?hash=item237b28efb6:g:OVQAAOSwjDZYdB8a" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canon-EOS-Rebel-XS-1000D-10-1-MP-Digital-SLR-Camera-Silver-Body-Only-/152390135734?hash=item237b28efb6:g:OVQAAOSwjDZYdB8a</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
