Thanks!
I see that they have the newer QX7 out now,so wondering how much better it is,if any,compared to the QX5?
I ordered a QX7 and it turned out to be junk....lousy picture,a toy basically....sent it back the same day! Thanks,Hot Brass

QX5 is out of stock since more than a year. QX7 is the only one available right now.

Hi: I have the AM-413ZTA model. I took a full pic,but I had to drop the magnification down to 20x to get it all in.
Picture is a little blurry,but seems o.k. in real time.
One more at 65X power:

The detail that you get with the high power mag. is very impressive.. but I'm curious to know what is being used as a light source...
In the pics the centres seem to be very reflective of the light yet the outside edges of the coin(s) seems to be very dark..
Is it an LED light on the mag?
