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 »

Pros Light, sturdy, feature packed, small, price, ease of use.
Cons AF feature can use some speeding up.
Recommended it? Yes

Pentax makes pretty decent products. This camera is no exception. It has a very small footprint/frame and is quite slim. The LCD screen in the back is quite large for a unit like this and is appreciated tremendously. Oh, and on sunny days, it still works and doesn't wash out like other units.

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros On camera editing, size, and value
Cons Lag time, lithium ion battery
Recommended it? No

The camera is compact and very well designed. It is about the size of a deck of cards. It is 6.3 mega-pixel which is more than enough for everyday point and shoot. The LCD screen is 2.5 inches. Uses SD memory card.

The camera is equipped with many modes in which to take photos such as... Read full review »
