I get quite good results with my Nikon D80 with the stock zoom lens, 
handheld, with the built-in flash. I have a macro lens, but I usually 
can't be bothered to fit it and set up the tripod, etc. A light tent or 
cube and a couple of suitable lamps is probably the best way to light 
small objects.
