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 »

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Takes great pictures in light settings
Cons pictures in lower light are often very blurry; has some minor quirks
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this camera new from a local electronics place for about 180 dollars. I also bought a 256mb xD card (absolutely required, you won't get by with the internal memory) and rechargeable batteries, in hindsight extremely helpful buy.

Generally the pictures taken look very good, but... Read full review »

Great Multi-purpose Camera

byspeech529 Nov 22, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lightweight; lots of settings; superb value; great with rechargeable AA batteries
Cons no viewfinder
Recommended it? Yes

This is a good camera for someone just beginning with a digital or for someone who doesn't need a mega-zoom. For me, it is perfect. I take a lot of pictures of family and friends, special events, and vacation.

I bought it at a "superstore" for the price ($179) and the features. This... Read full review »
