FYI there's one for a third the price at:
9MP NEW DIGITAL CAMERA FOR MICROSCOPES WITH ACCESSORIES on eBay (end time 07-Oct-09 17:50:51 BST) - and they do have lower MP versions down to around £120 from time to time I think . . .

I can honestly say
never; it is as I said earlier the struggle to echo what I see (bit of a mixed metaphor there
) that has led me to this camera jump; but it's clearly a case of "diff'rent stokes for diff'rent folks" and your bank balance will benefit if you're happy with your system and I've been pushed to one with 7 times the resolution
perhaps it's because you are mainly agaricking and I'm looking at fungi where the spores can have bristles which are very difficult to make out and where the subtleties of conidial formation need to me ascertained; maybe it's a case that I am not looking at the whole picture but concentrating on small, key areas of the field of view
It's all fascinating stuff - perhaps I need to organise a mini-workshop looking at these issues - I could just about accomodate a dozen or so people . . . .
