I just bought a Nikon d40x 10.2mp...with a 18x55 line...They are coming out with a new model soon to replace it so i got a deal on a 55x200 zoom...does any one else have this camera? It takes great picshttp://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa275/mybluelab/020.jpgfile:///C:/Users/AYOS/Pictures/2008-03-11/020.JPG

HOLY ^%$^%#%#^
first about the tank, and again about the camera!!!!
I have a Nikon coolpix 5700 that was about $1,200 several years ago-of course was the latest thing;) Problem is, it might as well be a P&S I cant get a photo of my tank!!! I just dont know what settings to use!!!
Tell me a little more about your camera, am curious!

I also have the AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED from Nikon (http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/ProductDetail.page?pid=2160) and it is a great lens!

I really want to get a nice SLR. I cant get very good pics with my Olympus, there just isn't enough manual control.

if you like the small size of box cameras but want the near versatility of an DSLR I would recomend the cannon G9. It is $500 but it is the best small camera on the market...and I am a nikon man.

This is my first DSLR camera so i've just been playing around with the shutter speed and aperture trying to get good shots..
It seem that a lot of people in my local club have ether my camera or the d50 so thats why i went with the Nikon...The display is simple and user friendly,i love it and think its the only way to go for a first DLSR.

I thought I was a pretty decent photographer until I started taking pix of me tank. It's a whole different ballgame! Take hundreds of shots, play with the settings, use a tripod, and bracket every shot because the light meter is usually wrong.

Great shot Bryan!
I have a Canon EOS 1Ds.....LOVE it! Although I have to admit that my landscape/nature shots are much much better than my aquarium shots.
I once found a super site on aquarium photography, with tons of great tips, but I haven't been able to locate it again....hmmm...have to do some more searches.
