We were looking for an inexpensive camera that would allow us to take decent pictures of visual imperfections on our products and that's exactly what we got with this OMAX camera. It's easy to set up, the software is way better than what I've seen on similar products, and it even allows us to take some basic reference measurements. It can't be reliably calibrated for use as a primary meter, but it produces clear and fairly detailed images when connected to a quality stereoscope, and the metering capabilities come in handy when you need to make quick reference measurements. Overall this camera is a good product if you are aware of what you are paying for.
