which fuji? like was mentioned you need a tripod for good low light pics. also you need to use a low light setting on your camera, if you let me know which model of fuji fin pics I can help and I use fuji myself.

Sorry, I don't think that a 1.3 MP camera won't let you take super sharp pictures. Good enough to post onto your photo gallery maybe, but not enough for print quality. Usually need a 3.2mp or higher for good quality pics.

Mine's a 4.0mp Nikon Coolpix & I can really see the difference when I use the high quality setting versus the low megapixel setting.

Hmm its going to be hard and it has nothing to do with the MP of the camera, 1.3 is fine for any web work sense web photos are displaced at 72dpi anyways.

The problem is the lack of manual settings on that camera, can set aperture or shutter priority, or anything else except for a bit of exposure compensation. you can still get good shots but it will be harder.

you need a tripod, as much light in your tank as you can turn on, and no flash on the camera. your going to take a lot of pics to get the good one, I usually only use 1 in 90ish and I am using a 6mp camera with custom settings. not that I get blurry shots, I just don't like the picture so I don't use it.
