What cameras are you guys using?
Hey all!
Just curious as to what cameras you all are using for thine reef.  In particular, dSLRs. I'm thinking about getting a new camera in a bit and was thinking about a D50 or a 20D. What all are you guys using and how do you like 'em? Any D50 or 20D users out there? Thanks! Brandon

I'm using an XTi (400D). I'm happy with it, but still haven't figured it out completely. I can get some really good shots of things other than the tanks, but tank shots take a lot more prep (good lighting, which my house lacks, turning off pumps, tripods, etc.).

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.

Yeah, I'm expecting the learning curve for me is going to be straight up!
 I'm very new to photography... I started researching and I thought "this stuff is worse than audio!" Thanks for the feedback! Oh, and any good links for tank photography? Thats one of my main reasons for wanting a good camera... I'll probably get a macro lens next... and a tripod, of course...  Brandon
