What is your real intention for this photo? What kind of details do you want to see? Solder whiskers?
Probably not that close. And it's really not a big deal. I am surprised at how many replies this subject has gotten.
Are you looking to do an optical inspection of SMD parts? An 8MP photo can also do that too.
Yes, that would be a plus.
Have you tried the scanner method? I scanned one of my boards at 1200dpi and it freaking humongous. You can see the thickness of the silkscreen paint applied.
First board is done with my scanner.
My scanner only goes to 600. But it was still better than I though it would be.
Thanks gents for all the advise.
