The picture quality is worse than expected

I photograph small (1" x 1") lapel pins that I sell on Ebay. A good photo is important to potential customers. I was using my iPhone 10 but decided to try this camera as it turned out to be able to take much better photos. I have not found that to be the case. See my comparison photo. In both cases I used Photoshop to enhance the image as much as possible. It took me about 30 seconds to take a photo with an iPhone. Of course, I've only just started learning how to use a microscope camera, but it took me a few minutes to take this photo, which I think is worse, not better, than my iPhone picture. I returned this product for two main reasons: 1. LEDs at max brightness are not very bright. 2. The description mentions a zoom lens, but it's actually a focus knob, not a zoom lens. Even after putting the microscope camera on top of the box to move it slightly away from the stylus, I couldn't place it fully in the photograph. If I used a large box to get away from the needle I wouldn't be able to focus it sharply from that distance. So for my intended purpose this product didn't meet my needs, although it was smart and interesting. PS: If you look closely at the two photos, you'll also notice that the microscope camera distorts the shape of the subject, as the iPhone photo looks a lot more like the actual pin.

Pros
  • πŸ”USB CONNECTOR FOR COMPUTER - 1. For Win 10, you can connect to the USB port directly and search for CAMERA in WINDOWS to find it and click. 2. WIN 7/8, downloading Amcap will solve this problem. 3. For MacBooks, please use the included Macbook Photo Booth software or Quick Time Player directly. 4. Note. Please disable the default laptop camera in Windows! And you need to change the privacy settings for the camera, which had to be changed to allow access.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
