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 »

Canon PowerShot SD700 IS - Image Stabilization Is Good, But How About Image Quality?

bydkozin Aug 25, 2006
45 Helpfuls 46 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Compact and stylish, large LCD, image stabilization, 4x zoom, resolution
Cons Price, images could be sharper, noisy ISO 400-800, slow flash recycle, red-eye
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Canon SD700 IS expecting good picture quality, especially indoors. Unfortunately I am disappointed.

I have always liked Canon Digital Elph cameras. I liked the 5-Megapixel SD450 and the 7.1-Megapixel SD550. I really liked the 6-Megapixel Canon SD600. The SD700 IS promises 4x... Read full review »
