OT ~ Digital camera and/or scanner help needed!

I've gotten to the end of my rope with my search for a reasonably priced
scanner that's easy to use and produces decent scans of the beads I sell on
eBay. I thought I'd solicit recommendations from anyone who absolutely
LOVES your scanner. Also, I might just throw in the towel with the scanner
and switch to a digital camera, but the camera has to have a top notch macro
feature that allows extreme close-ups. I have an older Olympus that doesn't
quite do the job I need. Anyone out there who just swoons over the
performance of their digital camera?? If so, why?

I use PaintShop Pro to fine tune any images, so image manipulation software
is really secondary. I've gotten to the point where I dread doing the scans
for new items because it's become such a pain in the a$$. I still have
stuff I bought in Tucson that I haven't listed yet because I just don't want
to deal with the scanner. Anyone want to have a go at this?? Please?!?!?!?
