What's a good camera for taking aquarium photos? What do you use?

I have a Nikon D40X and love it.

Really I think any camera will work once you learn how it works.

Nooooo! No Nikons! :D

I have used both the Canon Rebel XSi and a Nikon D40 or 60, can't remember.

THe Nikon menus are confusing as hell. The Canon seemed easier to use, and I got better photos with the Canon. I don't which is a more capable camera though.

But in any case, for aquairum photos a D-SLR is the best. Even the kit lense takes great aquarium photos when cropped to get closer. All the photos I posted on **** of Aquatic Specialists? Taken with the Rebel XSi, with the 18-55 Kit lense, and cropped.
