For about the same price you can get Rigol DS1054Z and 4 channels are really nice to have. |

Hi I am a hobbyist as well and lay year I bought my first oscilloscope. I was torn between Siglent SDS-1202X-E and Rigol 1054z. I chose at the time 200Mhz siglent and it is a beautiful scope. I enjoy using it all the time. Although at times I felt if I had third or fourth channel to use it will be better. I never worked with a signal more than 20Mhz or 25Mhz. So I guess the extra bandwidth is just helping me showing the square wave more accurately! [emoji851] Now in hindsight I would buy Rigol as 50Mhz is enough for me but I get more channels. But in no way 2 channels are limiting at all. With two channels you can do everything which you need to do and get it done. So find your priorities and buy a scope. You will have tremendous fun. Here is my video from last year recording my thoughts. Audio is poor but please bear with me. Siglent SDS 1202X E https://youtu.be/NyFwydu198k Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

a topic which never ends. When I was buying my first DSO three years ago I went for the 100MHz Siglent (The newly released Rigol DS1054Z was £500 delivered at that time), lots of bandwidth, worked well for all my small amateur projects. A tad bit slow on the software side when you crank up both channels. What is interesting with those Siglents is that they gain value with age! I bought one for £260, sold for £340 after two years! ataradov, where can you get Rigol DS1054Z for 300 eur with warranty?! As a hobbyist I never had a need for more than two channels, but majority of my projects are digital and MCU based, so not much analog stuff. |

since DS1054Z got good review by everyone that know about it and the fact i can get one for 340eur in serbia with 2 years warranty made me decide to get one seems like a nice scope for the money thx for suggesting that one to me ! |
