Bob,
I suggest one of the superzooms like Panasonic, Canon, or Nikon. They
are wonderful cameras and are useful for odes, butterflies, and moths.
I used a Panasonic 10x zoom before I got my current camera and it was
pretty good for moths except for the smaller ones. $350 should be
enough to purchase any of the superzooms. They are a little big to
fit in a pocket but I wouldn't get anything smaller for what you want
to use it for.
Give me a call if you want more details.
