Canadian_coins, if you're just looking for something to use for taking pictures of coins, I'd say save your money because I think you've already got everything you need..........your pictures are always perfect!
I bought the Sony a300 because it's 100% compatible with all the autofocus lenses from my old Minolta Maxxum 400si film camera, so for me there wasn't a lot of money to invest to get a complete system.
Any of the current DSLR's from Cannon, Nikon or Sony would be great for family/vacation pics, although Sony currently has the best Live View implementation of any manufacturer.
