Photography has been an enigma for mini painters for years, and there's
lots and lots of tutorials on it... check out coolminiornot.com or even my
website. My opinion -- any digital camera over 3 megapixels is probably
okay, as long as it is able to focus on things 8 inches or closer. The
most important thing is light. You can never have too much light for
photographing miniatures, or for painting them for that matter.
