<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 3036783, member: 31773&quot;]Sorry for the short and unhelpful answer, the Nikon vs Canon thing always irritates me. There is absolutely nothing that makes a &quot;Nikon&quot; better or worse than a &quot;Canon&quot;. Each manufacturer works to be the best they can, and is constantly in competition for consumer dollars. If one was indeed worse than the other in general in any significant way, it would go out of business. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, Canon cameras which would be purchased by most amateur coin photographers, ie the non-professional ones with smaller sensors, have a couple distinct advantages over their Nikon counterparts specifically for coin photography:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) They come with excellent free software for controlling the camera from your computer (&quot;tethering&quot;). Similar software from Nikon costs hundreds of dollars.</p><p>2) They have electronic shutters that eliminate both mirror slap and shutter shake, so produce sharper images. Higher end Nikon cameras also have this feature. </p><p><br /></p><p>These are the reasons I recommend Canon cameras for coin photography.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
