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 »

132 Helpfuls 133 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Large 2.5" LCD screen, 6X optical zoom, full manual controls, and AA batteries
Cons Weak flash, Some corner softness, and minor chromatic aberration (purple fringing)
Recommended it? Yes

There are some very good reasons why Canon's A series digital cameras have been number one in U. S. sales for three years running. A series digicams provide consistently first-rate performance, superb ergonomics, incredible ease of use, and tough as nails durability - at amazingly reasonable... Read full review »

Good but not Great

bypvreditor Sep 30, 2006
39 Helpfuls 40 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Nice controls; great size; excellent focus; beautiful LCD screen; long battery life
Cons More digital noise than I expected.
Recommended it? Yes

I take pictures for both personal and professional use, and struggle with the need for portability versus taking the best possible pictures. The photos that I take professionally are published in magazines and are usually snapshots of people interacting with each other and touching various pieces... Read full review »
