Review: Here is what you get: the scope (actually it is a digital video cam that is powered with a USB port) & a software.
If you are like me who bought this one, after viewing all the great pictures on the Olympus mic-d gallery website, then here is what you actually get.
1- NONE of those pictures can be taken with mic-d without extensive time wasted trying to get it in focus, plenty of time in Photoshop, and may be a couple of other imaging softwares.
2- This image is a low resolution (600 X 400 pix.)and of bad quality even for an e-mail.
3- The worst part is the software, sometimes you get half-picture clear, the other half is fuzzy or missing and no way to solve this issue unless you disconnect it from the USB port and start it again. VERY bad software and for those who do know how bad Olympus softwares are, try the ones that come with their digital cameras!!
4- The whole thing is not user friendly and takes plenty of time to focus and zoom in. By the way the +200x zoom is a digital zoom not optical, this is important to know.In short, this first generation Mic-D is not worth the money you will spend on it, so please ignore it to save your self the trouble of returning it, & I guarantee that you will. Put your money in a decent digital SLR camera like Nikon or Canon Rebel, then buy a microscope camera adapter for it. Microscopes are cheap, less than $200 for a good one that you can fit with an adapter and your own digital camera.
If you can't wait and still interested, go to B&H photography website and you will get it for the same price as amazon. Good luck focusing.
