Conclusion: The best microscope camera adapter I have found
Review: This piece makes a breeze to take pictures on the microscope with common small digital cameras. Centering of the light is easy. Filling the field of the camera with the image is crucial but readily achieved. Stability of the system is great. I additionally recommend doing white background adjustment in manual mode, self-timer of 2 seconds and suppressed flash. Pictures are nearly as good as with dedicated microscope cameras worth thousands of dollars.

Conclusion: Good but
Review: Works good with a little work. I have a Kodak Dx7590 and it does not fit. A little work and extra pieces and you can get it to work. Just be careful if you have a wide camera with a longer lens it may not fit.

Conclusion: Digital camara adapter
Review: I bought this in hopes that I could use it with my Kodak P-850 SLR digital camara, in conjunction with my Celestron 130 SLT telescope to obtain digital photos.
Sorry to say that it doesn't have the required focal length for my camara. I added a bracket, to obtain the length, but it took alot of work, & time to get MY camara to work on my telescope.
Limited (short) focal distance. Better to spend the extra money, and get a better "universal" digital camara adapter.
It would work ok, (I think) for the lower end, (Small objective lens) "point & shoot" camaras.

Conclusion: Does not fit all digital cameras as advertised
Review: This product is definitely not recommended for advanced amateur astrophotographers who want to do serious guided afocal photography with their digital cameras. The product was advertised as an afocal adapter that would fit all digital cameras and all telescopes. It did not fit my HP 945 digital camera since the camera support base was over an inch too short, and I assume it will not fit any similar digital cameras (the tripod socket to lens front is about 4 inches for the HP 945). I had to improvise with other photo accessories in order to extend the distance of the camera from the eyepiece. The construction is primarily plastic, the only metal being the support piece that attaches to the eyepiece. Because of this, the plastic camera platform visibly flexes, causing an angular displacement of the camera lens from the eyepiece, that I needed to correct with a shim. The plastic knobs and the attached plastic screws for adjusting the alignment platform may easily strip after extensive use. With my camera, the entire platform was far too heavy to be supported by the eyepiece alone, and another improvisation was required for additional support from the bottom of the telescope. Because of the time I have already invested in making it work, I won't return this product, but I would not recommend it for any serious afocal astrophotography. Possibly useful for birders or beginner amateur astronomers who what to learn something about astrophotography using a small digital camera.

Conclusion: Solid, Heavy, Too Big
Review: I've owned this Celestron 93626 Universal Digital Camera Adapter for two weeks. I used it for birding, digiscoping. It is solidly built but a bit too heavy (over balancing my Kowa 60mm scope). Also, it does NOT fit ultra compact cameras. My Canon SD800is is too small to work with this product. I assume that similarly sized cameras will also not work (3.5" x 2").
Amazon has great customer service and returns. So you may wish to try it out yourself.
