My sister got an 7 MP Olympus with coke reward points that looks identical to the FE-210. I saw the FE-210 at OfficeDepot for $80 and elsewhere for $100. It is a little slow (lag time) and uses AA batteries. She bought rechargeable 2000 mAmp batteries for it and stole a 1M xd card from her father. Its obviously entry-level, but a camera like this was $300+ only a few years back. Olympus has horrible tech support and used xd cards which are different from everyone else. But its a nice camera, worth looking at.

What you want to look for is a good macro mode. Macro lenses are better, but I don't think you will find a replaceable lens camera and lens in your price range.
