digital camera

[fedukeford]

im looking to upgrade my camera to take better pics of my reef, im sick of my $30 one

, i dont want one too expensive, just one that will take decent pics, im looking in the $175 doller range, not much more, any suggestions for a good quality, cheap camera?

just look for a sony or canon;
personally i like the sony Cybershot which are cameras with very quality for the price
remember the more megapixels the better

got a kodak 4.0 for about 200, takes ok pics but its tough through the glass

for tank shots,,,,get the highest OPTICAL zoom u can afford....

how does this camera look?

its 3.2 megapixel, 10x optical zoom, or the more pricey advanced version is 5.0 megapixel with 12x optical zoom, do you think the first one would be good, or would it be better to spend a extra $50-100 on the 2nd one??

Lloks like a pretty good camera.

the canon s2is is one of the best rated cams out there. I just bought a kodak z612. aminly because of the super macro and the image stabilization.....just a pic for ya to look at for detail of my new kodak...not a fish pic ,but one of may daughters flowers....see what ya think..............

fuji z1 macro mode. It takes great pics and I payed $300 after tax. Although i'm about to purchase a canon digital rebel xt to support my other hobby photography

well i guess i wont be getting that one, i was kind of hoping my parents would get me a camera for my bday, and i dont think they'd want to buy one that expensive
drewsta- nice pics, whats happening with that camera once you buy the new one?
