[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1119033, member: 15199"]In the catalog, it doesn't give much technical details so here would be my problems 1. 480 x 640 resolution will limit how large the image would be on the screen and how much a photo program could enlarge it for putting it on a website such as this. The resolution is even less than many webcams. 2. If you just wanted to see small items or part of large items, it might be sufficient, but you probably couldn't even focus sharply on a whole nickel. Some can, but they have to have a very extended focus range. Can't tell with this one. Since much of the fun is to be able to photograph a whole coin in high resolution, this would not be such. BUT.... Their guarantee is well respected and you would be out s/h both ways if it didn't work. Also there have been many other with similar questions of similar optic systems. You might search "USB camera" using the search box at the top/right of the page. Several years ago I purchased one, but it didn't work out for me, but at least try to find some other threads. Maybe you could ask them how it turned out. And Welcome to the Forum!! Jim[/QUOTE]
