Well, the Canon XSi is a good choice, but you could also use a point and shoot like the Canon G10. It just depends on if you're planning on growing in your photo skills and make it into a serious hobby. The nice thing about the XSi is that it has a full automatic setting and then, as you grow, you move on to the more manual options.
But here's the thing. You'll also want have a good lighting kit - like a light box which can effectively light your subject. There's a good lightbox kit at Hammacher Schlemmer for about $80 which will light your subject from three separate angles to evenly light it.
