It is less about the camera body and more about the lenses and technique. Go to this forum, read through the threads, then ask your questions, here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=118

Whatever you decide, make sure you pick something that you can control the white balance on. I find 9500K about right on my tank.

I went with the top of the line point and shoot camera. Once you get into DSLRs you kind of have to know what you're doing and extra lenses and what not add up in a hurry. I bought the canon g12 which can be shot in RAW format and do anything a basic DSLR can do
