Nikon d3100 or canon rebel t3. The investment into a dslr is completely
worth it.
worth it.
Cool. Thanks. Are there any decent ones that have a smaller price tag? I know cameras are expensive. Lol.

Do these cameras capture colors nicely? Camera phones and my low end point and shoot don't really jive well with the actinic lighting...

Once you set a custom white balance it will show good colors. Even with actinics .

Adjusting white balance has been my issue with cheaper p&s cameras.

Something else to ponder- if you are speaking of macro shots, like close ups of your corals and stuff, you may want to consider a submersible camera. I use a Canon powershot D10...and they've just upgraded it-

That's interesting! I like it!!
I wonder how well it photographs under actinic lighting. That's one of my main problems taking them with my phone.

You need but to adjust the white balance.
Cool! How would I do that on an iPhone 5?

I'm not sure if it has an adjustment. Check your manual.

iPhone 5's do not allow that ability in their default camera. There may possibly be an app that allows you to manually change it.

You don't without a app such as Camera+, even then it still doesn't come close. I shoot with a Nikon D7000. Spend a little time on Craiglist and you'll deals on everything. The jump into a DSLR is worth it's weight in gold. I now shoot around 1200-2000 shutter clicks a week, it's rather addicting.
