I studied commercial photography and worked in the printing business for a long time. It's not the camera so much as it is the lighting.
For indoor shooting, the best thing to do is to get a product tent big enough to fit the items in and light it with daylight corrected lamps.
Use a camera that mounts on a tripod and can shoot long exposures. Shoot straight down to avoid distortion. This way you don't use flash at all. Lighting a painting indoors without daylight lamps is not going yeild true color and you'll spend far more in post production labor trying to correct the color in Photoshop. Remove the glass from the frame if possible.
Or - just get the product tent and bring the items outdoors under full sun - or in open shade if the items are too big for a tent. You'll get true lighting and you may actually have enough light to shoot without flash. The only problem is positioning yourself so you do not cast a shadow and making sure there is no colored light coming off nearby objects.
I use a Nikon D-70.
