The most important factor is the "Professional Grade" sensor technology. (Without this, nothing else would matter.) The rest of the hardware (hardware other than the sensor) and software can still be improved. The first problem is the power cord. This is a USB2 connector with a USB to female adapter. Both the plug and adapter are huge for a device likeโ€ฆ
