I want to take better pics so I need to figure out how. The Qx3 can be had for under $30 on Ebay, while the qx5 is around $75 shipped (cheapest I've seen-not Ebay). I see that sometimes the Qx3 has a slight tint to it, no biggie, tilting coins can sometimes cause a tint. The other thing I've seen is that people say the QX5 has better lighting, but I saw an old post on here where someone had to use a pocket flashlight to get proper lighting with the QX5. Is there any perk that justifies the price difference?
Not only can't I answer the question, but I don't even understand it. What is a Qx3 and a Qx5? Or is this one of those, "If you have to ask, you definitely won't be able to answer."
Qx3 http://www.amazon.com/Prime-Entertainment-QX5-Digital-Blue/dp/B000059TF3 Qx5 http://digiblue.com/digital_blue/qx5.html The QX5 replaces the Qx3. It's supposed to have better lighting and software. I was hoping someone could tell me if it was worth the extra $30 over the QX3.
Ahhhhhhhhhh, microscopes. If I read correctly, they are image capable AND will link to a computer. At this time in my collecting interests I can't justify buying one (no significant need), but I'd like to have access to one for occasional use.
I use a QX5 - mainly for looking for RPM's etc. If it is in question I pop it under the scope. I usually don't use it for pictures of coins - unless I am being really lazy. I like it.
I have the QX3, and I've had it for quite a while. Great machine, and I've used it to post pictures, e-mail pictures, etc.
