For above water shooting I am using a Nikon D 90. For below water a Sealife.

Also at that time there where a lot of club members with Nikon's so I knew I could get lots of advice from people familiar with the camera

Finally I went and tested Nikon and Canon camera's in my price range and the Nikon felt the most comfortable so I bought it.

For shooting Fish you need a good flash and a Macro lens. I use a 60mm /f2.8and 105mm/f2.8 along with a SB-800 and SB-600 speedlight(flash)

This is exactly what I came up with in doing research - so thanks for verifying that I am on the right track - not sure I can swing both lenses to start with but looks like the right package - thanks

Thanks for the input --

OK - so the other part of my question was do you "photo bugs" believe that the price differential for the D-90 is justified for someone buying in for the first time - I have not done a feature by feature comparison but is seems like the major single difference is the video feature - which would really be great for shooting tank activity and especially time lapse videos of spawning activity.
