Alejandro: I am going through the same exercise here at our lab, That unit looks good , however Kodak also has several versions that are based around the 290 camera,the MDS 290 1792 x 1200 resolution, and includes image analysis software. Another alternative to these is to use an adapter tube and a Nikon 950 or 990 coolpix. Both cameras are fantastic. the 950 has a resolution of 1600 x 1200 ( 2.1 mega pixels) it makes great looking prints up to 11 by 17 , the 990 has 3.1 mega pixels and has even better resolution . And added anvantage of going this way is you can add a macro lense to the camera and with a standa and some good lights take whole board pictures. I currently have a 950 and adapter on order, ( camera runs about $450.00, adapter 450 ) gets me into the whole thing for under a grand, o I have money for a photoprinter, high end image software and some accessories.
