Really awesome pictures! I've always wanted fants and standard lamasis, but they are just out of the price range for a broke college student.

If I had a penny... While a good camera helps, getting photos like this is at least as much due to the photographer's skills as to the ability of the camera to take nice photos. In my opinion, 90% of it is the photographer's skills - that's a no brainer. So practice with your current camera, try different settings and do some reading . You can also ask questions of course.

I totally agree on the camera and needing to have a good photographer, I work at a Best Buy where I get to look at the really nice ones all the time, so that doesn't help . I just want a camera that doesn't take an eternity to take a picture. I miss a lot of nice shots waiting for it to take the picture.

That's a fair point that I will grant you.

Along with what John has already said: my camera is a Kodak EasyShare DX6490 point-and-shoot I bought 7 or so years ago. It has a macro button and auto focus, which really helps with these sorts of things. But I've spent that many years really learning how to use it and understanding its quirks and limitations, and then working with (and in spite of) them. This camera has been brough on backpacking trips, to the desert, to West Africa...it has dirt and pieces of dust on the inner lens I can't remove and that show up in images if I shoot too directly into the light (a new camera would probably cost less than sending it in to get repaired). But if I had a better camera, I bet my pictures would actually be of lower quality than what I'm able to current do with this camera. Of course there is a learning curve...but right now this camera is familiar and I can adjust and do what I need to without hardly thinking about.

What did you photograph in Africa?

[Ron]

Hi Kurt, I'll try and start another thread and share some of the photos I took while there.

I have a Sony A330 and it's pretty nice, even with the flash on the glass aquarium it comes out clear.
