MicroCam X1 | Compact Camera With 40X Magnification Microscopic Camera

Great little macro camera – really good for macro photography, and you can shoot slightly further subjects by turning the lens, which is handy. One star off for the built-in light: during macro shots it shines into the lens, causing lens flare and reflections in the image. A bit of a shame, but otherwise I’m happy with it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I am not sure why people complain about the microscope performance. My camera arrives in the evening, so I don't have enough light to test the cam. It hard to use, but the result is good.

Can be quite challenging to get a nice image in microscopic mode, as any slight movement (e.g. shaky hands) will result in a blurry image. Requires a stable surface (e.g. resting your hands/the camera on the surface) & the lens to be very close to the subject which can be tough, so this limits the type/amount of subjects that you can get good images with. The key to using it is probably a lot of practice & finding the right subject, but slightly disappointing that it doesn't work optimally with all subjects because the microscopic world is just so cool...

Brilliant little addition to the camera bag. Amazing product. Incredible photos. The only things that could make it better is some sort of lens cap, and either a lens protector clear sticker, or the ability to be a little further away from the subject when in microscopic mode. At the moment, if the subject is not completely flat, the ring light gets cut off, or in the case of photographing minerals and rocks ( very common here in australia) it is extremely difficult not to scratch the lens. That being said, I am very thankful that you have created this product.
