<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ordinary Fool, post: 2666342, member: 85318&quot;]A) 1x-500x and it does not specify if any or all of that zoom range is optical or digital.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/322126555630?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/322126555630?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/322126555630?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT</a></p><p><br /></p><p>B) Seems like an &quot;almost&quot; product and at 5MP, I might be inclined to spring for one if the range was say, 1X to a max of 60X with the zoom optical. Maybe I&#039;m thinking wrong?</p><p><br /></p><p>C) Most I have researched, even the Dino-lites specifically for coins, start at 10X or 20X with, like this one, the high magnification range being absurdly not required for coins. This spells compromise in performance in my book for such devices. Again, maybe I&#039;m wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>D) It also appears from the limited pix v. tech specs, like here is a penny at 10X, that their 10X varies greatly from what my low power scopes, magnifiers, and triplets see at 10X or even 30-45X.</p><p><br /></p><p>E) I was really shocked to see somebody offering 0.3 to 1.3 MP microphone cameras for 500 or even 1200+ dollars. Are these made with surplus flip phone optical cards? Nice they say five IR glass lenses are used as opposed to plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p>F) It may be my lack of expertise with optical cards and camera v. camera/video cards that is tripping me up?</p><p><br /></p><p>G) Some of the pix appear decent but, many I see posted sure make me scratch my head wondering if people really are of the belief anyone can actually make meaningful determinations from them.</p><p><br /></p><p>H) I&#039;d like to play with a couple good quality USB microscopes and phase them to view in stereo then couple there output to be viewed in 3D on a 3D display. Kinda thinking it may be easier to do using two smartphones from a stereo&#039;s eyepieces and wirelessly cast them to a 3D TV.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
