Pretty much any digital camera now adays will have both a micro mode and sufficient resolution to get you nice pics of your models. This however presumes two conditions:

1) Your models are well lit
2) Your camera is steady

I've got a camera that was less than $200 two years ago. Something like 3 or 5 Megapixels and I still get pretty good pics of my stuff as long as I rest the thing on somthing (tripod is best) and the models are carefully lit. The lighting is just something you play with. Daylight all around is the best. Window + Lamp far away is ok too.
