That $200 microscope I bought for board work was junk
Picked up a cheap digital microscope off Amazon for inspecting solder joints on phone boards. Spent $200 and it had so much lag I couldn't even see where my iron was touching. Returned it after one disaster repair where I bridged three pins on a charging IC. Anyone else get burned by those no-name USB scopes?

Different budgets call for different approaches. A $200 microscope can work fine if you pick the right brand and check the specs first. Plenty of people start with cheap gear and still do solid work.
