what camera do you use for zoas?

[customanimalart]

I am searching for a decent camera, not too expensive, and not difficult to use, that will take some nice macro shots of zoanthids (as well as pics of the fish).
What cameras are you using?

 

[650-IS350]

most people use either digicams with really good zoom or cameras like canons or nikons with some good macro lenses...

I'm using a Nikon Coolpix 5400. It's kinda dated by today's standards but I really like the features, ease of use, and it takes really good pic's.

Do you have some macro pictures of zoanthids or other macro shots you can post?

Here are some shots. I just have started learning how to take macro shots:

It does take good pictures. All I have found is the cool pix 5100. I suspect that the 5400 model is no longer available???

I don't know. You may want to try E-bay. That's where I got mine a few years ago. When I got it Nikon was offering a $200 regbate. I paid $500 for the camera which then went to $300 once the rebate came in. Locally the same camera was going for $800 w/out rebate.
