Celestron or Dino-lite

Well I just couldn't come up with the $300 for a dino-lite so I went with a celestron for $52 on the Bay. I thought I'd share a couple pics. It's really hard to pic coins that have a lot of luster but doesn't due too bad with others. At least I don't think so. What do you thing??

Not too shabby.

Is it easy to use?

How bout a pic of your setup..

Looks like a pretty good value for the money (if it's easy to use that is).
The middle two photos look sharper than the other two. Maybe they're lower mag or vibration?
Not bad for high mag basic work I'd say! What do you think? Does it serve your purposes? That's what counts
Not everyone is into a full on DSLR with flatfield macro lenses, bellows and the rest...
Pretty nice shots for what you have into it IMO.. Now have some fun!!!

Does it also take decent photos of the whole coin? I have been looking at Dino Light and if the pics are this good with this lower priced alternative, it sounds like a no-brainer.
