Anyone have any suggestions for a cheap way to get decent photos of my corals. Not really looking for glamor shots but to help identify problems and ask for help form people who are more knowledgeable than myself. Any cheapish Chinese cameras that do the trick!
 
Any cell phone with a decent camera will get you a good enough photo for most problems. I recently picked up one of the Polyplab Coral View lens that clips on your phone, comes with a macro lens as well as a couple filters. Really helps in getting a decent shot.
 
I downloaded an app called AquariumCam. It doesn’t take the most fabulous pictures but it has a function that takes a lot of the blue out. It’s free and would serve your purposes.
 
Cell Phone & SnapSeed app is all you need. There's a thread on here somewhere if you search for SnapSeed.
 
If your good lol jk

Cell phone?

Samsungs Actives are waterproof. Just stick them into the water and shoot. I think iPhones are too, now.
 
That’s a pretty expensive solution if your phone isn’t waterproof. Also I wouldn’t really trust it not to corrode afterwards
