You should be able to pick up a nice and simple camera that will take excellent photos for the web. I should have some suggestions for you shortly but i have only just got into digital after getting rid of my darkroom and film kit. One pointer though, dont pay attention to how many mega pixels a camera has, sensor quality and lens are far more important considerations, as is ease of use.

What you should consider are.
How to light what you are photographing, avoid using the cameras flash, a light tent with lights would be a worthwhile investment.
Get some form of tripod to mount the camera on and use the self timer feature to take the pictures, it means you will not be touching the camera when it fires. This will reduce camera shake and improve the image.
Look for a camera with a macro feature, this will enable you to do close ups if required.
I would think any camera on the market today should be suitable.
