Is this a good camera to start with for shooting pics of fish and corals?

I have been using canon 50D with 60mm or 100mm lens. They are a good combo.

Are you asking about a specific dslr or dslrs in general?

Rebel T3i works just as great. But you do need a micro lens either 60mm or 100mm if you like to take close up shots.

Before you buy check out B & H photo an also amazon.com to find a good price. I bought my canon t2i from b&h and couldn't be happier with how much I paid and what I got.

best thing to do is go put them in your hand, and see how they function i shoot with nikon for a living and hate how canon's are set up and how they feel in my hand, canon shooters feel the same way about nikon, you need to play with them.
