Fugi Finepix
I've had a 5100, a 5200, and now a 700. The first two have been given away and are still working. These are super reliable, easy to use cameras that are tough as nails. They are lightweight will take macro shots, and are cheap enough you don't have to worry about wading out into the surf or decoy spread with one.
They also take very good photos, I've done a magazine cover shot with my old 5100. I'm an outdoor writer and these are the only cameras I use.
I'm sure there are other cameras in the same price range that are good but these I highly reccomend.
