    Good morning 3reef,

    I am going to go buy a new camera. I want to buy one that will give me stunning pictures of my tank and corals. All the cameras I have eaither blur with no flash or dont give me the true color.

    I am on a budget but could spend a little bit more. 0 to 600 is my price range.

    What do you use that gives you great pictues and if you can show me some good pictures of your tanks you may have taken with the camera.

    Thanks, Pjracer

    The color you see from your camera is influenced by the first bulb in you lights.

    I have a Canon PowerShot SX20IS.

    You can look at my tank thread to see the shots taken with it.

    You will need to experiment to find which setting works best for your situation.

    I, not too long ago bought a 10.2 mega pixel, Sony a230. I like it a lot. Here are some pics;
