I use a Fuji Finepix A303. It's a 3.2 MP model. I've had it for a couple years. I believe it's been replaced by the A340. Great camera though and the A340 is just like it but with a few mor features and higher res.
Here's a link to a review of mine and a few of my personal favorite pics I've taken with it, to show you what you can expect from a good 3.2 megapixel camera. Of course you can get a 4 or 5 MP camera, but how much better they will do than these pics I don't know. I've seen 5 MP cameras that didn't impress me on close-up detail. The Fuji's excel at close-ups or "Macro" shots as they are called.

The lens is the key. The computer monitor only displays about 72 dpi. The extra resolution is good for editing and cropping.
If you cannot take good close up pictures, take a picture at whatever distance that gives you a good clear picture then use the software that came with the camera or any good photo editing program and crop the picture.
When you save the new edited picture keep the same aspect ratio but save at 72 dpi. If you have the option, uncheck the box that says to keep the same file size.
This will give you a crisp picture as viewed on any monitor and a small file size that will download fairly fast for those of us still using a dial-up internet connection.
Only send the high resolution pictures to someone who wants to print it out or perform further editing. They can be some pretty large file sizes though.
