Both the pictures you linked to look like they are are shot in an aquarium, possibly one specially built for that purpose. Even though I live in an arid state I too have some interest in trying to shoot aquatic or semi aquatic herps at their level. Periodically I'll research the current crop of compact waterproof cameras, but the all seem to do macro at the short end of there zooms, which really isn't ideal for what I want to do. Underwater housings for dslr's are a little (lot) more pricey than I want for how seldom I would use them. I've thought about sticking my camera in an aquarium and then putting that into shallow water, and maybe using one of the smart phone apps and camera dongles for focus, etc., but that seems pretty cumbersome to use. I'll be interested to see what the people more experienced with this than I have to say.
