Best camera for close-up photos?

Macro mode on any new camera these days is great. However, my current camera has no manual focus, as well as a fairly slow shutter speed at lower ISOs. I'm finding using a pretty much automatic camera fairly inadequate for taking pictures of things such as insects, which move.

I'm looking for a camera, $300 or lower, which gives me at the very least a manual focus that works well in very close-up situations and gives as sharp an image as possible. Other manual options are a plus. A wide angle lens is a plus.

The size of or type of camera is not important.

Update:

I understand how exposure needs more time under lower ISOs. Obviously some cameras are able to expose faster than others.
