I think a lot of people set their finds on a scanner with good results.
A camera with the macro close focusing function is needed. The little tulip icon.
CNet has good camera reviews.
I use a Nikon CoolPix 4600 which is a 4mp camera but don't really give it a high recommendation.

I would suggest a Sony cybershot 7.2 mega pixels or higher. Sony uses Carl Zeiss Optical lenses which are very good. Remember you usually have to also purchase a memory card and rechargeable batteries. Digital cameras really deplete regular alkaline batteries very fast. I'm no camera expert but I like my Sony Cameras and recorders. I would also go to a kits camera or camera store and ask them. They know a little more than the kids at circuit city and Best buy. Good Luck
Lots of fairly good camera's out there with MACRO on them for under 200.00. Just shop around a little and I think you will find one that will suite ya!
For the $250.00 mark you might want to check out a FUJIFILM FinePix S700, has MACRO, 10X optical zoom, and a lot of other nice features, is 7.1mp.
Good Hunting.

I have a few cameras, but my higher dollar digitals are for on vacation. Too big for a pocket anyway.
So for my metal detecting pocket camera, I been using an inexpensive Olympus FE-140. Got it on a dirt cheap sale.
Fits in the pocket, uses 2 "AA" batteries - I use NiMH rechargeable as alkaline gets less shots.
It has Macro and Double Macro.
Just easy to use and if anything happens to it, no big loss.
It has a help guide built right into the camera menu.
Several shooting modes. - I just keep it in auto for a simple point and shoot.
I run it in the lowest quality settings (I think 480 x 640).
For email or post on the forum, the file size is small and it works for me.
I know there are much better but this inexpensive one works ok and I have not had any problems yet.
A few pics on the lowest setting ( I haven't tried a higher setting on this camera yet - it's just my metal detecting camera).
