No doubt, lighting is a key consideration when photographing artwork.

HelenB, who is extremely well informed and replied above, does professional product photography.

Pay close attention to her advice, and the information she dispenses.

Thanks everyone. I will experiment a little more with the camera I have and look into the models that were suggested. Much appreciated!

Before buying another camera I'd suggest you read Light, Science and Magic.. Light Science and Magic, Fourth Edition: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting: Fil Hunter, Paul Fuqua, Steven Biver: 9780240812250: Amazon.com: Books

After reading this you'll have a better understanding on the direction you need to go and what you'll need to get there.

I've heard lots of positive things about the Sony RX100 (20 MP). Pics do look very impressive.
