Whatever gets the job done, with good results is all that matters with t hese cameras.

I have tried several USB microscopes, but they all had too much lag to g et a good image. From the first Intel 'blue' microscope over 20 years ago. I did better with a flatbed scanner to get good images of small components and hardware for websites.

Not sure. I think it throws cam pixels onto your screen 1:1. With the cheap cams I have here, less pix than my screen, that makes a smallish box image in fullscreen mode.

I use it with several microscopes and it displays and saves images well enough.

WinXP used to directly display images from USB cams. For some reason, they deleted that.

I have amcap.exe in c:\Windows which says it is copyright Microsoft. Not sure how it got there. But it happily shows video from my cheapo endoscope which I have had no end of trouble getting to work with portable Android devices via OTG. (But now have with "OTG View".)

Yes, I have amcap as well. That's the one that works for me. Small picture but at least it's displayed on my computer and can be captured.

I'm a fan of guvcview. (I don't know the official pronunciation, if any, but I call it "juicyview".)

Cheers
