Sub $100 Pt & Sht good for Close Ups?

[rodeo]

OK, guys n gals

I'm about to part with my N... D200 which I haven't used in years and I have used instead simpler and much smaller 'point & shoot" digitals in the $100- $150 range. my current one is a Samsung TL105 which if I recall is 12MP.

Here's my question and quandry. I want this or a similar camera to be able to get good clear close ups of smaller items, (such as detail of razors etc.) but the auto focus fights me all the time. Is there a better choice in that same price range (preferrably the under $100 range) that would facilitate that better?

maybe more exterior lighting would help? Would brightness assist in allowing auto focus? Or am I barking up the wrong tree with this $100 desire?

Personally it's hard to imagine a camera I'd actually want to buy in that price range, here's a coupe of older reviews that *may*help ?? Given what's said there about these lighting is a big issue and mostly none of them worked at all well in low light/high ISO settings, so yes maybe if you add more light.
