[QUOTE="Stork, post: 2580294, member: 71642"]I recently bought a set up from Ray and am very pleased with it as a camera newbie. The camera is a gently used old Rebel XS which he vets for quality. The EOS utility software is Canon's and even with a Mac laptop I got it running pretty easily. If you don't have a Mac he will send the software. With the Mac I downloaded the utility and then an update to get it working (and when I updated my OS it was a pretty simple step). I use a very basic photo editor (PicMonkey) instead of the fancy stuff a lot of other people use. But the EOS utility is what runs the camera and lets me use my laptop for viewing. The Canon download came with editing software too, but I haven't even looked at it. If you go to his webpage this is the setup he sent me: [url]http://www.macrocoins.com/example-system-6.html[/url]. I have a bunch of medals in addition to coins and wanted the flexibility to go bigger (I can shoot up to 75 mm). I went from this: [IMG]https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/YN3h8dSSqeRWaeQiQ5BQ_M34%20yen%20combo.jpg[/IMG] to: [IMG]https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/mVG94gIQ5ebWk7yc4jBw_yen%20M34%20combo.jpg[/IMG] and barely know what I'm doing yet.[/QUOTE]
