    May I suggest the Canon Rebel or even better the next model up the
    10D as I recall. The 10D is not the latest, so you may find a second
    hand one from someone who upgraded. The new 20D is even better but
    more than the average jeweler needs even for fine quality pictures. 

    The canon  rebel or 10D takes any EOS lens, of which there are many
    available new for about $200, or less on Ebay or second hand. The
    film EOS camera is great and very popular, and it's just wonderful to
    put those older lenses to work on a new digital SLR camera. Canon
    dominates this market based on sheer performance. AJM has published
    lots of pictures my wife and I have taken. Like the cover art on the
    October issue. If you own a film EOS just plan on buying the digital
    camera body only. 

    For jewelry close ups get a lens that does macro well. The
    performance is equal or better to 35mm film cameras. 

    I'm a huge fan of Canon digital cameras still or video. Not the
    cheapest, but competitive and top performance.
