<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Circus, post: 1735555, member: 51195&quot;]I have a digiscope 2 mega pixel one, for $26.00 plus shipping I find it&nbsp; was worth the money takes decent photo&#039;s haven&#039;t had time to modify the&nbsp; new stand to hold it. as in addition to the coins I have other things&nbsp; that it will help with meteorites, rocks, and minerals, tokens and other&nbsp; small items.</p><p>I am happy with mine.</p><p>I also use an app for the I&nbsp; phone 5 camera that has a built in zoom/maginfer called camera+ does a&nbsp; nice job and you can just save to your camera roll or photo stream. <a href="http://campl.us/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://campl.us/" rel="nofollow">http://campl.us/</a> is the web site it also does a lot of other stuff that you can use on regular photo&#039;s this works great for coins also but needs some kind of stand to work better. It is called camera+</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a couple ideas for a more user friendly stand, but that&#039;s a</p><p>winter shop job.</p><p><br /></p><p>I came across this unit a Celestron LCD handheld Digital microscope.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is more money than some of the others one out there. But the best</p><p>part it is a stand alone microscope with a 2.4” screen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Takes still and video it also does have a SD card slot, conflicting</p><p>max card size from 8gb to 16gb since I only have a 2gb handy will</p><p>have to get a new one.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.adorama.com/CNMSLCDH.html#reviews" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.adorama.com/CNMSLCDH.html#reviews" rel="nofollow">http://www.adorama.com/CNMSLCDH.html#reviews</a></p><p>is the site and I have put a review there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have found a couple more things that for some may be in the con list,</p><p>but I still would give it the 4 stars.</p><p><br /></p><p>The battery door opens if you move your fingers while holding it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless you have photo handling software, you will have to make sure that you</p><p>delete the photos from the card after downloading them. It does come</p><p>with a usb cord and you don&#039;t need an extra SD card memory.</p><p><br /></p><p>It takes good photo&#039;s and video, even though I don&#039;t know how much video</p><p>I will be taking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another minor drawback is you can&#039;t use it will hooked up to the computer.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the fact that it uses 2 AA batteries, and it is portable you can take</p><p>it with you and use it at the coin or stamp shop, since it has</p><p>lights, It does clarify some things that the mylar holders hide.</p><p><br /></p><p>You do need to have the unit lifted from the surface if you want the</p><p><br /></p><p>Whole item like a coin or stamp in frame. I haven&#039;t had time to work on a lift block yet, but a couple to 3 Altoids tins get you in the neighborhood. about 1½&quot;-2&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;high works well.</p><p><a href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope031.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope031.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d200/ptsideshow/Microscope/Microscope031.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope024.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope024.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d200/ptsideshow/Microscope/Microscope024.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope002.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope002.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d200/ptsideshow/Microscope/Microscope002.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope003.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope003.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d200/ptsideshow/Microscope/Microscope003.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope019.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope019.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d200/ptsideshow/Microscope/Microscope019.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope018.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope018.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d200/ptsideshow/Microscope/Microscope018.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope007.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s35.photobucket.com/user/ptsideshow/media/Microscope/Microscope007.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d200/ptsideshow/Microscope/Microscope007.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
