Want A Good Cheap Digital Camera? Try The Argus DC1500 Digital Camera!

Pros Holds 80 pictures in internal memory on lowest setting. Can be used as a WebCam.
Cons No removable memory, no flash
Recommended it? Yes

I bought my Argus DC1500 Digital Camera a couple of years ago because of the price. I only paid $25 for it so I figured I had nothing to lose if it did not take good pictures. At the time, all I wanted was to be able to take snapshots of the kids with it, and it worked fine for this as long as the... Read full review »

Argus 1500 DC: Pictures Can Be Worth A Thousand Words, With The Right Camera

bygypsyrose75 Sep 23, 2001
57 Helpfuls 58 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cost and Software Included
Cons Lack of Flash and Focusing Ability
Recommended it? Yes

Being in a tight budget I assumed this would be a great purchase. Many people I know have paid anywhere from $200.00 to thousands of dollars for a Digital Camera. I am not into a Professional Photography field so I was not in need of one that whistles and dings. Just a basic 'Point and Shoot' and... Read full review »

Pros Price, Compact, Battery life, Excellent pictures, relatively easy to use..
Cons Shoddy movie clips, NiMH batteries don't come standard.
Recommended it? Yes

After having a horrible experience with the reliability of my HP PhotoSmart 435 digital camera, I decided it was time to shell out a bit more cash for a camera that not only had a better reliability record, but also offered better performance. After checking out many of the offerings from HP,... Read full review »
