<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3904754, member: 19463"]Certainly the amount of cash value added by a photo is open for discussion and many here show they do not care in the least about photos when they don't even turn the coin so it is upright. Some here spend over the price of that camera for a coin while some us a thousand dollar camera to shoot $5 coins. It is not necessary that we agree but I do feel that if you like the phone photo best here, buying a camera would be a waste. Relatively few here will see any difference in the much reduced size results from the two different Nikon models and I am amazed that there actually is a difference favoring the full frame camera over the crop sensor that can be seen in these tiny images. </p><p><br /></p><p>I just ordered my first new camera upgrading my previous full frame DSLR Canon but it will not make a difference in the quality of images I will post here since the lenses and camera operator are the same. I hope it will make my new images easier to make but there will be no miracles. I did not <i>need</i> this camera any more than panzerman needed another gold coin. It is my hobby as much as the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
