Default Digital camera question
I have a HP 315 camera, and I am not impressed with my aquarium pictures. This is especially true of closeups Would anyone be able to recommend a different camera that works better. but that would not break the bank

I looked at the menu, and was able to find "zoom", but not macro.

Yeah those HP camera are POS's, I'm a big fan of Canon Cameras, I love my S30. Nikon's are great cameras too but a little more costly but take some awesome pictures, I really guess it depends on your budget

Our sony 51 works very well Bob. you can get them now for about $300 ish dollars.
We had an HP before this one and we gave it away. Almost couldn't do that.

Make sure you have a good sturdy tripod if you are taking macro shots.

I am wondering what Alan uses, he seemed to have some real nice shots I too will probably give away this HP as it seems like POS.

You can give it to me if you want. Better than what I have now.
