Good camera needs to be my next investment.

Maybe I can get lessons from you
I use an Olympus TG-2. It can be used underwater and is how I take my coral pics. It has a very good low light lens and sensor as well as a super macro setting, which alllows you to capture a lot of detail up close. Also, it has several underwater settings for white balance and exposure, along with a manual white balance register setting which really helps take the blue (caused by the lights) out of our tank pics.

The current TG-3 model, which is similar, also has wifi, so is even better.

As with any photography, it takes a bit of patience and planning to set up a good pic, plus a lot of trial and error. I sometimes lack those qualities, so some of my pics are OK, some are not.

The TG-2 makes a good underwater video camera, too, as per my recent Maui snorkeling youtube thread.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
