My first camera for ebay was an HP C200. It was perfect for this
application. You can get one for $15-$20 bucks on ebay.

Almost any digicam will do. These pictures are going on the web,
right? You might even be able to get by with the digicam in a phone
or some such.

As for the lighting, you'll do much better buying a $10 lamp than
using the built-in flash.

If you don't want to take a chance on used equipment, I'd go into a
photo store, and see if they have an old model they'd like to get rid
of.

Don't spend more than $100.
