I'm looking for a camera for work. I have probably under $200 to spend(maybe a little more). I work for a manufacturing company with alot of painted stuff. So the must subtle things I need the camera to show are subltle paint defects such as minor scratches indentations and such. Any recommendations for a camera that will last several years and do the job?
The current camera we have is a Sony .6 MP that still uses floppy disks

Floppy what??

Spend the couple extra dollars on this. This will last your need for it.

I agree with Peregrine.
Don't forget to buy a memory card.

I love my Nikon CoolpixL820. 16 Megapixel, 30X Optical Zoom and 3" screen for about $200 on sale.

Maybe this one 21X Optical Zoom 16MP Long Lens Digital Camera 1280x720 High Definition Camera Red is a good consideration. SONY 16M image sensor, 21*optical zoom and 3 inch HD color display are guaranteed you get clear picture and its price is just a little cheaper than 200 dollars.

Also all the camera's used in response to the post are wrong as the poster needed a camera with a good macro mode which requires a good lens.

Then follow the link since the other posters are not posting detail oriented camera's on a small scale. personally I use a Canon SX series for tight spaces, has setup modes and easier portability. I have other cameras, but they are use specific.

I like my Canon Powershot, does everything I need, good close-ups and detail. Canon optics are of fantastic quality. Cost me around $150.00.
