Wow, I looked up the sony 10 MP and that's an impressive camera. I really don't know what I should buy... I mean even if I had that many MP I would still have to reduce down to 800x800 but I suppose the image would be sharper. Tempting.

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.


Sorry for the off-topic post Coin Chaser.

Thank you Coin Chaser for letting us hijack your thread for a bit. Honestly Hawk, I don't think they are perfect. But one of the best - in my opinion was this one:

That is great picture canadian_coins, thanks for sharing

And thanks for the link to your gallery. I hope you don't mind but I've downloaded a few of you pics to give myself a reference point of what to shoot for in my own coin pictures.
