What is a good camera for $300 to $500 for taking pics? I need a macro feature.
 
I have used an Olympus Stylus SW 850 for a long time and love it. For around $125 it takes decent macro shots. It has a "super macro" feature that is just shy of the $500 macro lenses and is also waterproof....so no moving corals to get good shots or need for a box.
