Has anyone used one of these? AmScope Model SE303-PX Looks like just what I need and priced at $129.

Got this last week and love it. This is as nice as the $800 scope I borrowed. Came with 2 sets of eye pieces so you have 4 different magnifications to use.

The same scope with built in camera was $279. I decided just to stick with my camera. They also sell this with a bottom light for $10 more if you want to look at gems or slides.

Careful about buying AmScope. I bought one and I'm sorry. The scope itself is OK. The camera, their 5 megapixel top-of-the-line, is garbage. I spent a number of calls to their tech line and experimenting, researching..... what I was doing wrong. By the time I got their tech lady to admit that the camera just doesn't not give a good image, it was over the 7 day return period and they agreed to take it back by charging me 35% of selling price. Here's shots taken 1) with the AmScope and 2) with a cheap point and shoot held above the eyepiece (very low tech). Same with 3rd and 4th shots of a ball. 1st is AmScope, 2nd is Nikon. Apparently, the AmScope is just a video camera and can not take still shots that don't look like a cartoon. Of course, they bill it as a "high resolution, high quality" camera.
