Several folks here take pictures of their flies and some even make video. Most of these pictures even look good! The camera I have now fails hard when trying to take such close-up pictures, so I'm looking for a new one.

Does anyone here have actual and good experience with a specific and cheap (read that as $80 or less for the whole outfit) digital camera that will let me take clear photos of flies I've tied?

Bonus points if there's a way I can shoot video too, either storing it on a card or using it like a webcam, but that's just not a hard requirement.

Thanks!
