<p>[QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2505610, member: 76739"]Kentucky one thing I found out about these cameras quite a few companies make them, unfortunately the ones I have doesn't have a brand name. When I ordered this camera it would not work with Windows 10. Since I'm under Dell service we managed to get the camera working and it's been working fine ever since. But that's one of the problems with these cameras the out-of-date software and will not work with a lot of computers. My old laptop has old software and it works great. Like I said Dell got it fixed to work works on my regular computer. You know the old saying you get what you pay for. And I'm basically cheap. And please do not fall for that sales pitch coin camera. When they put that on the ad it's just so they can raise the price. These inexpensive cameras work fine. But you have to learn all the little tricks to make them do what you need them to do. As stated earlier I gave my friend one of these cameras. And we were discussing it this weekend at breakfast he was telling me he could not get a photo of the whole coin. I explained to him Why do you think I just gave you that camera. It works great For section photos. But totally unable even with the tricks to take a photo of the whole coin. Kentucky by the way the stands that come with these cameras suck. Basically not even good as a paperweight. Good old eBay also has the adjustable stands that's a must with this kind of camera. This week I'll be working on some photos of my camera set up so I'll be able to show you and other members what I'm working with. The way I have it set up now is by the time the computer is warmed up I'm ready to take photos. Just ask Patty he asked for a different view of a coin within minutes the Photo was up and posted for patties viewing pleasure. I personally do not recommend this kind of a camera for viewing and locating errors. Because of all the false imaging you can get. And this can be said about a lot of cameras not only this one. I rely on my good old faithful 10 x 40 microscope for the initial examination. When I find the error I then go to the camera to take a photo so if there is any false imaging around the error I know what to focus on because of my other microscope. Bottom line Kentucky it's cheap inexpensive easy to set up and the pics are really not that bad. Once you learned the tricks to make this camera do what you wanted to do. Like anything do a little research.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":snaphappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
