Personally, I would be reluctant to purchase this cam, and more inclined to go for the Toucam. Having just purchased the later after using the LPI for a year I am looking forward to the increased resolution and colour characteristics. It can be operated by K3ccdtools which is easily downloaded over the net. The Toucam is also widely used by all the expert planetary imaging people.
The neximage is only a recent adjunct to the webcam imaging scene, that means it is largely untested by the general populus and quite frankly I would think that it would have less reliability of the LPI. LPI is a fine camera, but everyone eventually goes to the Toucam.
So my recommendation is to go straight to the Toucam and start learning at this level.
Hope this has helped in your decision.
