Nice shots! I like the clam closeups.

I have the sd400 and I really liked it as a SMALL point and shoot. It's got great features, and you can stick it in a pocket and drag it with you. (just don't drop it on a tile floor. it doesn't like that too much)

Jonathan, you can WB that camera and the colors come out a LOT better. Dig out one of your old plastic greyscale cards. Or use a top from a can of kodak film (the grey lid is 18% grey. how cool is that!) I've also used powerheads They're pretty close too.

wow I just saw that, I knew it had a custom function, but did not think that's what it did. I'll have to try it out.

T- it's a great camera, get a 1gig card and take movies also :)
I would recommend it.

not every every time, but it would be so cool. I'm bidding on one on ebay now :D

plus you could do cool top down shots, and you can place it on the bottom of the tank and take pictures with the auto timer looking out the tank and see what you look like to your fish, hahaha.

:smokin: Jon - i'm in now

not going to bid too agressively since I don't need it til March, but if I win this one you are welcome to give it a whirl. I'd like to get comfortable with it before I actually am underwater. thinking of going to my gym pool, but worried I will get strange looks. heheheh
