Advice for aquarist photographer

[Bigmiksears]

Hey all,

Im completely new to this kind of thing but i was wondering if anyone at all could help me out....

I currently have a fresh water aquarium set up (see photo below) and i am currently thinking of upgrading my camera in order to be able to take closer more defined pictures. Im a 16yo lad so suggestions over £400 wouldn't be appropriate.

I currently have a Fujifilm FinePix F410 which doesnt allow me to (appologies for my lack or terminology here but) i think 'spot focus' on specific things that i want to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers, Mike

Here are a few of my aquarium shots. Nikin D70

I have found that a tripod is a must and 500 shots = one USABLE shot of a fish!
