Actually I wanted to buy an Olympus camera, but it wasn't available, so I finally ended up with a Nikon 8700.
I still have to learn how to use the camera with its many differnt settings.

Silver is a problem yet image

So here are two shots of coins which are not silver, image


German East Africa - One Pesa 1891

GB - One Penny 1936

    For a new camera, you seem to be doing just fine. Your lighting seems to be OK, so you should do well. As you learn to use it, you will only get better.

    I remember that when I first got my newest camera, the first two images came out great. Now it is very easy to shoot coins.

    Good Luck,

    Bob
    I like Ikes!! But I especially like Viking Ships, Swedish Plate Money, and all coins Scandinavian.
