Hi all,
I am looking to replace my point and shoot setup with a DSLR for use on reef ecology research. My budget is 1k and I prefer Canon setups if I pay with cash, or if you've been looking for a way to support coral reef research, you can donate a setup to the project and get the full value as a tax write off!
The project uses underwater imagery to discern the nonlinear feedbacks in coral reef systems - something we currently know nothing about and that is fundamental to understanding why some reefs recover/strengthen from disturbance and others shift/weaken from it. The ultimate goal is to train recreational divers how to collect this imagery so we have more and better data for understanding the nonlinear dynamics of coral reefs in the future. Happy to share the complete project information with you if you're interested in donating a setup!
Thanks for your consideration!
