Best Camera

[yukonblizzard]

What is the best camera for fish photos? There are so many options that I cant pick one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The best camera for fish photos? My bet is on this one, but like you said it's hard to choose.

that camera's like two cars.
or a third of a house.

Lets throw in this lens, which should behave similar to a 150mm macro.

Well he specifically asked to narrow down the best and leave out the rest.

:lol: I had a guy show up to a workshop with one of those. He'd purchased it especially for the trip.

$50K is a little out of my range:lol: :lol:

Is there something that is good, but at a reasonable price, around 1 thousand dollars?

I've never seen one in real life, but I have shot with them in my dreams. No seriously, I have had dreams about using this camera.

I like this one for the "cheap" route:
$550 one time fee

This one will have you well on your way, but like all cameras in this class (SLR), you should factor in some expensive lenses and various utilities bumping you up to say...$2000 total.

Sub in this camera instead for a lower quality but still perfectly capable rig (same lens still recommended):

Thank you verry much for the links!

I would personally say a canon rebel xsi, or a canon rebel xti. they both have great mega pixels and shutter speed.

yeah but...getting one of those cameras with a good lens is double his budget. If your going to get one of those cameras with every intention of keeping the kit lens...just get a G series.

I almost fell outta my CHAIR!!! GREAT LINK!

I was expecting to see a 1Ds, or the D3... NOT A HASSY!

=) I thought a few guys would get a kick out of that.
