G'morning leahpardo!

First I am not an expert on cameras and there are people here with much more knowledge.
It sounds as if you are genuinely interested in being able to get some good photos and I hope that after you get a camera you share some of your photos.
The best I can do is give you a link. It looks like the first 3 listed are close to your price range. http://www.imaging-resource.com/WB/WB.HTM?view=dp_macro

Also I want you to be sure to check our dealer feedback forum if you are buyiung on line.
There are good dealers and some really, really bad ones.
Good luck and happy shooting.
