Digital camera.

Any good makes of digital camera to use for mainly selling stuff on ebay.

My current one's switch seems to be packing up - probably coz I do take loads of photos.

I use an old Panasonic set to 2mp for ebay. Its all you need. Try looking on ebay for the same camera you have but without battery or leads etc.

That's a good idea.

The biggest difference will be how well you light the product and giving it a plain background, then even a 2010 smartphone would be good enough

I don't have a smart phone, but I know what you say about lighting. This latest camera we bought was too complicated & I couldn't work out half of the functions & it was rubbish at certain colours - reds, black etc. The old, more simplistic cheaper first digital camera we had took much better photos.

I'll look for a cheap simple one I think - that sums me up!

A good background and lighting is far more important than the camera you buy.

Background and rig- for £30

Cheap lights with softbox - £36

Then grab a cheap camera from CEX, you don't need much more than 6mp

If you don't want to buy a lighting and background rig, make sure you're taking your photos using natural light through a window onto a white background. A white sheet will probably do.
