CAMERA Question - Which one would you choose?

snapmohr

Of these two camera choices which one would you choose for coin pics? Not based on the price that they are going for just which camera is better? Would I need to purchase anything additional to take pics of coins?

The 4300 I use for coin pic, and I like it. The one drawback that I see is the body, get a camera that is black. The silver reflects and shows up if taking pics of slabbed coins.


The other camera I have no clue about.

You could get this one a lot cheaper.

I agree with ibzman... the silver does reflect. In fact, my camera (the 4500, which is black) has a silver ring around the lens... I had to write over it in permanent marker to keep it from reflecting.

Only complaint I really have about my 4300...

I have two of those older Ricoh 4300's - they do a decent job for not very much money.

In my experience, you get decent pictures from practice - not necessarily spending big money on a camera.
