Doesn't it just show when you use a quality camera and lens. Phones are great but simply cannot match the quality and clarity achievable with a decent camera/lens combo and of course the knowledge on using itCurrently using a Nikon Z6ii and 105mm macro.
Ok that’s one of my cameras but I haven’t convinced myself to get that lens. thanks. Now I NEED IT.Sony A7 IV with the Sony 90mm macro.
Explain what you mean when you say "too sharp" because I agree with you.Nikon Z6 and a variety of lenses. This shot was taken with an older 100MM f2.8 Macro lens. The new mirrorless class lenses are too sharp in my opinion for most reef photography.

There is a reason Canon flagship cameras are still 24MP. Often less is more when it comes to MP.
Only one WORD to describe this photo QUALITY.Doesn't it just show when you use a quality camera and lens. Phones are great but simply cannot match the quality and clarity achievable with a decent camera/lens combo and of course the knowledge on using it

Reef2Reef has several articles on aquarium photography such as: “Your Guide to Aquarium Photography; Getting the Basics” as well as photography and videography sections of the forum. Feel free to dig in for more info about getting great pictures of your tank!
For now, I'm using a Samsung S8 Plus. I want to increase the quality of my macros and entire aquarium photography results.I have two phones. IPhone 11 & Samsung S8 Plus. I have made several tests and in the end, I figured out that Samsung S8 Plus has better results.
Here are some shots with a cheap macro phone lens (clip-on) and Flipper magnifier with an orange filter.
What lens are you using?I use a Canon Rebel T6 for those wanting a budget camera that is still a massive upgrade on phone cameras. What makes them so much better is that I can sit down a distance from my tank and get natural and non-blurry photos.
When the camera can see more than your eye it makes photography a far funner hobby!
