  1. Very honest and harsh review... I like it! xD Thoughts on the matter: perhaps, and only perhaps, the image would be better without adapters in the mix (talking about the included VGA to HDMI adapter... those can really do a number on the video capture device). Then again, a costumer shouldn't have to deal with that, not at that price. Perhaps the USB or DVI version is better... they don't seem to have an HDMI model. The slow motion effect, graininess, poor color correction and perhaps the not so good image quality can probably be solved by having very powerful yet soft lights surrounding the setup. I'm saying this because all of those should point out to similar problems when you have regular cameras on full auto in low light situations... Direct LED light will cause reflections and be very hard on the image. But again, this is a problem with the product. Can't really blame the company because it should be very hard to generate soft strong lights with such tiny area to work with, but still. And that isn't to say Louis room is dark... you can't get nice crisp images like that without plenty of light. But that microscope sensor probably needs close to blinding light outputs to produce good images, which is something quite common for macro lenses. I guess the pro point here is perhaps portability, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense for board repair, or for Louis' case. But that's too much of a high price to pay for it. In turn, I have to wonder how does this camera compares to the cheap sub 100 bucks ones you can find on eBay. I honestly think it's miles better, but just can't be too sure of it.
