Photographing Coins (e.g for eBay)

SellStock

I have a Toshiba PDR-M70 digital camera which takes great pictures BUT
is not able to take close-ups of my PCGS coins. What do other collectors and/or dealers use for taking and displaying large,detailed pictures of their PCGS coins on eBay (or for the PCGS Registry area)?

Many thanks in advance!

This is a semi popular thread, i'll work on adding it to the Unofficial FAQ tonight to consolidate information. Until then, here are links to threads on the subject.

I have a Sony cybershot DSC-S70 digital camera. It cost me over $700 a couple years ago, and I'm sure the model has been updated and the same features can now be had for less money.

This camera takes great coin pictures. It has Zeiss lens with a zoom feature. I can blow up the pictures on my screen and see more than I can see with a glass. I've sold a few items on Ebay, but mostly I send pictures privately to customers to give them a first look at the coins.

If you sell a lot on Ebay, you could buy a new camera, declare you are in business and take it off on your income taxes.
