@coinexchange you can can get a really good DSLR camera for under a grand these days and get also get really good lenses between 200 - 400 a piece. My macro lens will cost you on the higher end of that, but if you have the 70 - 300 mm or 75 - 300 mm, as well as a 15 - 75 mm lens, you can get pretty much any shot you'll ever need. I prefer a Canon camera, but you can get some pristine shots as well with a Nikon. It all depends on your preference.
