I agree that the pics are relatively useless for modern proofs. For older proofs, they are a bit better in that you can see if they have decent mirrors and get an idea of what the surfaces look like, a job that was almost impossible previously with the dark copper pics they are famous for. Still not ideal for me.

Not really. All of their cameo and deep cameo coins look like this:
Since the value of these is largely dependent on the degree of contrast, the images are essentially useless.

I would add that the coins in PCGS holders did photgraph better than those in NGC holders.
