[Probably not the most appropriate newsgroup, but nevertheless
still.]
Could someone please shed some light on the Supereyes-brand
USB microscopes' specifications? I've seen claims of something
like 5 Mpx & 200x optical zoom, but I'm suspect that these are
(quite) a bit overstated, given the price (like 25 USD a piece.)
First and foremost, do they really employ a 5 Mpx sensor?
Somehow, I've got the impression that they may be using a
640 x 480 (0.3 Mpx) one, and then "enhance" the image in
software.
My guess is that I'd need something with a (1 .. 2) Mpx sensor,
and more or less decent optics (Supereyes' or better), for my
task. Is there some other brand I should consider?
TIA.
PS. Naturally, the device shouldn't require any "custom" drivers or
software to operate.
