I tend to agree with Mark that the primary question is: for what purpose do you take your pictures plus composition and topic are more important than equipment.
But I would like to add that if you have a specific purpose in mind, you should have the equipment that’s capable of delivering these results.
Nikon mirrorless, Keica etc these don’t come cheap.

the traditional approach is full frame digital, with a macro prime of approx 100mm to keep a good working distance from the target to avoid shadows (etc.), a tripod, live view, a type of light box arrangement (doesn't have to be expensive), a light source...
