Kodak DC260 or 265. One of the few with screw on lenses so you can take
extreme close ups. Int he day, it was $800 or so, and it was impossible
to get a better picture for under $3000. 

They're about $200 now on ebay. Get the close up lens kit.

These are some of the first pictures I took with mine when I
got it:

They were taken under a single gro lux light; I had a funky old dark monitor
back
then so I stupidly brightened them up a bit.
