I've tried taking pictures outside in shade, full sun, dappled shade, etc. I liked Crow's article, but I still don't know how to get an acceptable picture with my plain jane camera-maybe it's just not going to work for bonsai photography.

I think that outside, with a plain background, and bright overcast will give you the best results in your situation. Full sun will be too harsh, and shady won't be enough light for good results. If you can, turn on the flash even when outside for fill in light.
You really should go digital. No wasted film and processing cost for pictures you don't want. Digitals cams are getting better and cheaper every day.
