![]() I am looking at buying a Camera to take better pictures of my corals.
What Camera do you have? What Camera would you purchase if you were in the market for a Camera today? I was looking at the Canon S5IS. Anyone using one of these? Tom R |

![]() I'm no pro and am stilling learning but after doing research I bought a Pentax K10D, 10 mega pixel just before Christmas and just before Pentax came up with a new updated model. For the body I paid roughly $600.00. Best "bang for the buck". I also got a Pentax 100mm Macro which was just as expensive as the body but well worth it. That is my main/only lens when shooting into the tank.
One other very, very important piece of photographic equipment is a good tripod - a real[u]must[u]. To do research on any camera that you may be considering, go here: http://www.dpreview.com/ HTH Cheers |

![]() Aquattro,
That's a good camera but you're paying an extra $200 - $400 just for the name. |

Don't get me wrong; I'm not being arguementative nor do I represent any camera company. We all want to be informed, just like: "Who's a good dealer/seller of marine things?". (Just finished reading the "Review Rant Thread" ![]() Bottom line (as for all things aquaria): Research, research, research. Cheers |

![]() Since I know others with the Nikon, it makes sense for me for lens trading, etc, and it is on sale right now! ![]()

It does have an aquarium mode....... which works ok but I think my shots could be better. I bought this camera for traveling because I was not happy with 3X Point & shoot camera that I had and I did not want to bother with a DSLR. I'd like to get a DSLR one day but in the mean time I can use my sisters D80 ![]() Cheers, Vic [veng68] |
