Jocke's suggestion is a good one, as he's about as good as they come at that genre, and any of the lower tier dSLRs would be good, too, with the right macro lens.

X2. That's an overpriced D60. I wouldn't pay more than $400 for a D60 body. A used 18-55 lens cost like a hundred bucks now. Anyway, it doesn't matter what kind body you want. The key here for macro shots is the lens. A Nikon 60mm macro or 105mm macro are the best. Just get an entry level body and invest more on the lens....

Hope this helps.
