I saw a bunch of these at the maker fair I went to a couple weeks ago.  They're improving and the price has come down a lot, but they still aren't quite the resolution I'd like.  I want to print little figurines for games and such, and these just wouldn't cut it... yet.

For your next purchase, I'd suggest a better camera and some software that can scale images. ;)
