Argus DC3200 1.3MP Digital Camera

Rating:
Summary: Good value for money
Review: This camera is good for the money. It is good for the person who will mainly use it just for e-mail without very much zoom. You can print photos as long as you keep the photos not much larger than 5x7. Has built-in flash, LCD, and Compactflash Card slot.

Summary: Good camera, great value
Review: This digital camera is amazing for the price. It has Date/time mode, 4 flash modes, self timer, white balance, and a whole bunch of other cool stuff, plus it doesn't use up much battery! OK, so the resolution is not #1, but what can you expect from 1.3 megapixles? Once in a while a couple pictures get messed up, but that's not a big problem. Overall, its a very good value and I recommend it you.

Summary: You don't want this!
Review: This is exactly the same as the Vivitar dsc350... Which I just returned yesterday!
First of all, the flash modes are a little strange. Example: In a dark room, the flash doesn't go off. And, you and up with a dark picture.
-That's not so bad, as it keeps you from noticing the fact that the pictures are completely awful.
I've tried every lighting condition, and every resolution, and 9 out of 10 pictures are either blurry -or speckled looking.
It seems to have a preference for it's focal range -another reviewer wrote "This is probably the worst camera I have ever bought. You cannot take any pictures closer than about 5 feet."
I'd like to add to that statement in saying that you can't take pictures much further than 5 feet either.
It also claims to have a pc-camera (or webcam) mode. Really? I was able to set it to such, but the drivers for it don't seem to exist ANYWHERE! Not on the disk, not on the manufacturers website, and no-where else. I guess it's somewhat irrelevent -seeing that I get better image quality from my webcam!
I do have two positive things to say about it though...
1) It connected, and was recognized by my computer without trouble (for image downloading).
2) It uses AA batteries -so you don't have to get special types -that you won't have any use for after you've returned this attrocity!

Summary: Don't waist your time or money on this one!
Review: This is probably the worst camera I have ever bought. You cannot take any pictures closer than about 5 feet. It has absolutely no ability to focus closer than that. The rear LCD display is just as bad, with no resolution. My $$$ webcam takes better pictures.

Summary: Not Impressed
Review: This was heavily discounted at a major retailor that starts
with an 'O' and ends with an 'x' so I thought I would try it
out. Unfortunately, the poor image processing and fixed-focus
don't compensate for the 1.3Mpixels and I ended up returning it.
I'd strongly recommend spending an extra [amount of money] and getting
a Canon A100 instead.

Summary: Nice digital camera
Review: Works quite well for the money. The pictures are bright and sharp and the little wheel on the back makes it easy to switch between camera mode and other modes. A nice feature is that you can turn the TFT back display on and off easily to save battery life. The downloads are quick on the USB cable. Battery life seems to be very good. Included software is nothing special but works okay. The camera only comes with 0.5 mb of memory built-in so you have to use it with a CompactFlash card. A 64mb CF card will hold 64 full resolution pictures and 936 pictures at the lowest of six resolution settings. Don't get the camera without also buying a CF card.
