Any thoughts on the best cameras for under $300.

I want to be able to take decent pics on the stream, as well as take pics
of flyz I have tied or used to catch trout. I realize $300 probably won't
buy the best on the market, but its all an uneducated hillbilly like
myself can afford, presently.

I trust user opinion much more so than anonymous camera reviews, so please
let me know what you use, recommend, or would not recommend.

Thanks guyz,
Op

I received such an outstanding response to the original post, I figured that
I pose another question.

Any thoughts on Pentax's *NEW* Optio WS80--primarily interested in it Macro
capabilities.

See Specs. WS80:
