I want a camera, and I just want to know what to look for in a camera that will be used for mainly aquarium pictures. My budget is 200 dollars...any suggestions? thanks,vince

Ummm, $200 makes it tough. Probably gonna be a P&S (assuming digital) - maybe you can get a better camera if you buy a used one? Some things to look for: 1) Manual mode - ability to adjust aperture and shutter speed 2) Adjustable ISO 3) Adjustable White Balance 4) On board flash 6) Macro Mode 7) Zoom Mode and Minimum Focus Distance 8) Min/Max Aperture 9) Focus Speed 10) Focus Modes I like to go to www.dpreview.com (http://www.dpreview.com) for camera reviews - lots of cameras to choose from. I have an old Olympus 2100UZ and I still use it sometimes - for 2 mp camera it works pretty good and has decent macro capabilities.
