I use a scope just like this but its called a vitiny. I love it.

Seems a tad expensive for a 2MP "camera". I rather spend the money on a scope and use a crappy digital camera and shoot through the lens.

Ya I am leaning towards a usb probe of some type ( lots out there) they may not be the best but its a good starter for me I think and decent prices.

I think I will get this one, seems had to find cheap scopes in Canada , its 5.0 mp and full range magnification plus adjustable LED/ fine tuned white lights.

I had one of those. I really was not impressed. I only had it for about 2 months before I bought my AmScope

[Reevster]

Oh ? Hmmmmm so the AmScope is the best one to get then ? What is the best AmScope to get that's not too pricey. I don't mind spending more but I am not rich either hehe. Which AmScope do you use ?

I use a AmScope with 20x and a Canon power shot A470. The only thing with Amscope you can't take a whole picture of a coin. But thats were the camera comes in. On my amscope I bought another camera to slide into the eye peace. MU1000. It takes great close ups.

There are many different scopes to use. I have a old model that ran around $500. Best thing is go to there site and get there phone number and give them a call. Tell them what you're doing with it and how much you want to spend.

I have the MD400, but it is not compatible with Windows 7, which is what I have on my computer. So it is hooked up to an older laptop with Windows XP. There are many to choose from depending what you are wanting. Check them out at http://www.amscope.com

Those seem aweful expensive for what they are, I got something similar on amazon for like 30 bucks.

I used it a couple days before I got sick of it. Do yourself a favor and get a amscope. you wont regret it.
