I recently bought a Canon A95 which accepts an accessory that allows 
52mm filters to be placed in front of the lens, including a close-up 
lens from Canon and a wide variety of close up lens from other 
manufacturers.  It also has a macro focus capability along with full 
manual control, something that comes in handy in out of the ordinary 
photo situations.  It was available at several source for about US$325.

The A95 can be found at
http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=10468

it is 5 mPix, but there are other members of the Canon line that accept 
the attachment.

if the price matches, give a look at the A95.  i have been very 
satisfied with it and its photos.

Cheers!
