I don't know about a video camera, but for a still camera you should look for:
Resolution (megapixels)- you can crop small stuff out of large pictures that
you couldn't do otherwise with smaller sizes, and get more detail
Zoom: Might not be neccecary for macro photography, but still useful. Go
for optical zoom, its real zoom. Digital zoom is just adding pixels into an
image to make it bigger- it dosn't add any real detail.
Macro mode: This allows you to take close-ups of objects. Look at the
focusing distance on a camera, I would say anything below 4 inches makes for
a good macro.
Controls: Look for how much controls you have on the camera. Automation is
nice, but being able to change white balance, ISO, exposure, flash, set
focusing, and other things as well make for good pictures.
It's also nice if the camera can use a rechargable battery, as cameras are
large power hogs.
Hope this helps!

| (...) Personally I leave my camera set to 640x480 most of the time, though it can do 1024x768 (1.3 megapixels). That's all you need if you're just going to post it on the web. Higher resolution (i.e. more megapixels) is only needed if you want to (...) (22 years ago, 24-Dec-02, to lugnet.publish)
