<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hiho, post: 798172, member: 21869&quot;]I think the photo that Dougsmit took with his wife&#039;s digital camera shows how good a cheap point and shoot can be with decent light. That&#039;s not a bad photo for a $125 camera. It&#039;s way better than most I see on eBay.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now look at the photo of the Portsea Conder token that Larry posted. I have that token in a lesser grade and I am seeing details that I never knew existed. Not bad for a $4000 camera.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you are happy with a Toyota then you don&#039;t really need a Ferrari. Same with cameras. Find one that works well and fits your budget. You may have to look at a bunch to find one that you like. I&#039;m a fan of Canon and can recommend all their products. I have had cameras not work right out of the box but never a Canon. They have great tech support too, if you have a problem call them and they will help you out. I like Nikon too. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is my setup, an old Canon 20D from 2004 with a 100mm Canon macro lens and a 420EX diffused Speedlite mounted on a Kaiser copy stand. All this cost about $2500. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j181/hihoaudio/camera_setup.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The copy stand makes a big difference. And yet with all this fancy equipment I sometimes take horrible photos. Usually too much light is my problem. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But once in a while I take a photo as good as Larrys.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j181/hihoaudio/pidcocks-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well, almost...:whistle:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
