>>>Harry,
From the looks of the picture it definitely is not a toy. However, the
proof will be in the quality of the optics. I would think though for
your use it would be just fine and last until all 3 kids get through
high school.
The USB camera is sold as a toy, but is a decent 400X camera that can
offer some interesting experiments on your PC. The ones I looked at were
both Mac and PC compatible.
