Used it up to solder some broken board tracks and it did the job well , shallow DOF not an issue here once set up and left alone.
Easier to work live on a big monitor than bent over a scope , but very frustrateing on bud and would not buy one with that primary intent.
The microsoft toy version on a laptop is much more use in the real world , and your kids will love it.
Just dont let them look at mature cheese or the dust off their beds , could end up in therapy.
Last years model of Eos would be a good buy new or second hand , a set of these rings give good results even with the kit lense , inexpensive as they were intended for 35mm so plenty on fleabay.
An old Pentax bellows set is the poor mans MP-e , same capability at a tenth of the cost , but not as useable outdoors.
With Canon , there is a huge back catalogue of 35mm optics and accesories secondhand that function well with the modern digis , and almost any lense ever made can be used via adapter ring in manual focus , which you mostly use in macro work rather than auto anyway.
Second user optical microscopes ex college or uni are very cheap , and easy to adapt to SLR esp binocular type , for a few quid.
Would not asign any value to the basc kit lense supplied , would go for the best body only deal and get a decent one straight away , the cameras change but quality glass has a long life and maintains its value better.
