Follow the link, then the 'free lessons' option has several guides for product shots on a budget. And yes I know each example has some lighting kit, but the basic principles still apply, even if you don't have extra lighting gear (full disclosure- I've got an external flash gun). You just have to be a bit more inventive, use desk lamps, that sort of thing.

Thanks a million, Gordon. This is very helpful to those of us who are new to photography and need help understanding what to do with the camera once we have it. :)
I'll just jump on the bandwagon and thank Gordon too. :-P. I'm definitely new to this sort of thing. Just came across dpchallenge.com 20 minutes ago, and I have to say, this site rocks. I got myself a Sony Cybershot P20 a couple months ago, and I love taking photographs. (I realize my camera ain't the best suited for detailed work like this, but I figure I might be able to massage some beautiful shots out of it). :-P. Best of luck to you all. .
