http://www.cameralabs.com/ has amazing video reviews!!!!!
if you want a really nice point and shoot, go with the canon sx20-is.
it's got a good lens with great flexibility and control to do a lot of different things + hd video! it's too big to fit in your pocket, but it's easy to use if (like me) you're not a pro!
if you want a dslr and have the money, look for one that does what you want it to do.

I use a Canon Powershot SD800IS digital elph.
it (was) a pricey point and shoot when I bought it in 2007 ($500 canadian + all the acessories) but now you can get cheaper cameras with many of the same features for a much lower price.
it has an aquarium mode setting that works very well.
I think most canons have this setting now.

I'll have to go around to electronic stores and talk to the employees if a particular camera has an aquarium mode. Thanks

To get good shots you need photography skill. You can have the best camera on the planet and still have underexposured, blurry photos.
The reason your getting rubbish shots is:
1) Your using a rubbish camera (probably) on AUTO setting. You simply cannot get excellent photos on any camera on auto...auto averages everything out in a shot...
2) You aren't setting your on F stop, ISO, white balance, shutter, flash, focus...the camera is choosing it all for you. = Rubbish shots.
3) You need to learn these things and buy a decent camera. SLRs are the best.
4) You can't get perfect shots of fish tanks with flash photography. The only reason we are flashing these shots is to increase light and gain correct exposure. The best way would be to light the aquarium overhead and increase the ISO as high as possible (where a good camera comes in as the good ones let you push this further without grain). As the poster says, angle your shot if your flashing. I try and take more without flash and light the shot properly.
Well in all honesty I'm not using the auto settings. I do try to mess around with the camera that I have and see if they make any type of difference and some do. I have the overhead on btw but when I take it without the flash the fish move so much that they become either a blur or a streak.
