Great for all types of collectors
I use it primarily for coins especially for over dates, mintmarks and errors. It is also versatile for stamps, rocks, jewelry and gemstones. It gives clear magnified images and captures those images in pics or video. It is portable enough that you can take it to various shops or shows without being tied to a laptop like other similar products. It even has a SD card slot so you aren't limited by the camera's flash memory or risk losing the pics/video when the unit is turned off. Only thing that could be better would be some sort of Lithium Ion battery setup as using standard AA batteries is sometimes not convenient. Excessive continuous use or use with the second brighter L.E.D setting all the time will cause the batteries to die fast.

Good for travel
Small, efficient and easy to set up and use. The screen is small but images can transfer to computer. Screen is vulnerable to scratches. Pouch case is a nice extra. Battery life is too short.
