I have been using my sony handycam HDR-SR5 camcorder lately because of the convenience. I did notice that my pictures have been coming out kind of washed out looking though. Some of my frag swap pictures look crappy. I did use it to take some pictures in my dwarf seahorse tank and they turned out great. I think it is the lighting in the reef that is messing me up. I would love to have a camera that would take nice reef pictures.
Oh, I also have a Sony F707 but it hardly gets used anymore. Too many settings to fool with.
