I'm about to buy a camera for the sole purpose of taking pictures of my aquaria ... Primary reason is my cellphone and tablet cameras can never process the blue LEDs well and my pics look washed out when my blue LEDs are on ... I have some great corals and would love to capture close up macro shots of them ... and they look best in the evenings when the whites go down and the blue LEDs come on ... Also I would love an easy (ie. wifi) way to get the pictures from my camera to my PC or to a cloud based place to store them ... I would really appreciate any input from members of this group about what brand I should buy, what lenses etc ... I was once a certified underwater photographer so I kinda know what I'm doing but the last time I bought a camera, it was a 35mm Nikon nikonos (yes, with slides and I had a light table) in the 1990s and I haven't had that thing for years and never bought a replacement ... The easier to use the better, as I haven't played around with f stops and aperature settings on cameras in decades ... I'm sure most of that stuff is automated now, but I have no idea since it's been so long ... Anyway, here's my favorite pic that I took from 20 years ago on a dive trip off the coast of Cayman Brac of a wild bottlenose dolphin named Spot as some eye candy ... my way of saying thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide! 
so be ready for that. A few of the cameras nowadays are mirror less. So no physical shutter in them. One advantage to them is you have a greater range of focal distances (esp wide) and close focusing ability. I.e. Macro. Many of these come with some pretty good glass for reef pics and in a decent price range.
