I am pretty happy with my cannon powershot (A560). It takes good close ups, but can be tricky. THere is actually an aquarium mode on it, which makes the colors look good. I believe it is a little over $125 (maybe like $140) but I am happy with it. But I am sure ther are better ones out there.

Here is a sample pic from my Kodak Easyshare M753, it was about $135 at walmart.

Be careful, i'm pretty sure the link you posted is $125 just for the underwater housing, not the camera

Canon A560 is a nice camera for that price. 7MP, 4X optical, 2.5" LCD. I bought 2 of them for the kids for Christmas this year. Nice little cameras.

If you wanna get the really good close up macro shots i think its an SLR you need.

I don't think SLRs have yet dropped to $125...
