If a 3 MP camera will do, and you're not afraid of using a system that
isn't exactly cutting-edge, then you may use a Nikon CoolPix 990 or
995, in combination with a Nikon FC-E8 fisheye lens.

You'll get the cam + lens for around £/$/€ 200 on e-bay. I've used
both systems in the past, and would happily point out the pros/cons of
CP990 vs CP995. They actually differ quite a bit. Let me know if you
would consider this option.
