While I agree in using Gunmod's camera mod, since it makes gameplay, especially building, much more practical (I will never go back to the Maxis cameras), I don't think a camera mod is needed to get good top-down pictures, or any others for that matter.
You should be able to simply press the Tab key on your keyboard and thereafter use the Q and E keys to zoom in and out. I think the A, S, D, Z and X keys also rotate the camera in various ways, as does mouse movement.
Actually, in order to take good pictures, click on the Design Tool first to get rid of the grid lines, then the Tab key to finely adjust the views.
