<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 3032955, member: 31773&quot;]The Rebel XS works extremely well for coins. It was one of the first Canon cameras with Live View, plus Canon&#039;s excellent Electronic First Shutter Curtain (EFSC) functionality, which together eliminate all mirror slap and shutter shake. It also has excellent tethering software to view the coin live on-screen and control the camera with the mouse. I honestly could not work without these capabilities.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I will make a suggestion for you...</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d highly suggest mounting your XS to a Vivitar bellows, with a Vivitar macro stand. You should be able to buy both for &lt;$100 on eBay. Add a T-mount Canon EOS adapter to mount the camera, then a lens/objective on the bottom, and you have a world-class imaging machine for &lt;$200. No need to buy a copy stand, as the bellows+macro stand fulfills that function.</p><p><br /></p><p>edited to add:</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a completed auction with the functions I am talking about for bellows plus stand:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vivitar-Bellows-Slide-copying-Attachment-and-Macro-Photo-Stand-Nikon-Adapters/232645673124?hash=item362ac340a4:g:8VcAAOSwbP1abO81" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vivitar-Bellows-Slide-copying-Attachment-and-Macro-Photo-Stand-Nikon-Adapters/232645673124?hash=item362ac340a4:g:8VcAAOSwbP1abO81" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vivitar-Bellows-Slide-copying-Attachment-and-Macro-Photo-Stand-Nikon-Adapters/232645673124?hash=item362ac340a4:g:8VcAAOSwbP1abO81</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
