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

bykelly60 Feb 17, 2004
87 Helpfuls 88 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »

If consumers are searching for a digital camera with high quality images, efficient zoom ability, and sophisticated focus settings, the Canon PowerShot SD30 is not the camera for them.

Excellent Compact Digital Camera

bysenchang Dec 11, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ease of use, quality of pictures, design
Cons Dock required to upload to PC.
Recommended it? Yes

In my camera purchase decision, I looked for quality, ease of use, and price. Quality and ease of use was easy to narrow down. My Canon-owning friends love their cameras, and online reviews are nearly unanimous in praising Canon's picture quality. The decison was between the SD400 and the SD30. I... Read full review »
