Well thanks to Stuart, I have decided to buy a decent digital SLR camera. After comparing his photos to all my previous efforts I realized just how bad mine were Embarassed

So if anyone can recommend a decent camera and why, please let me know?

thanks

I have to say, I'm really happy with my camera. It's the Fuji Finepix 3800 and is superb for those close-up macro shots with reptiles.

Be happy to help you mate...what mode are you shooting in?..may just be a case of altering the exposure compensation..

struggling to get a good depth of field without over exposing or needing a blinking tripod!
