Do not buy this camera!
I have owned 4 Digital Cameras at this point in my life. This is by far the slowest. Expect to wait 10 seconds between shots, 17 if you used the flash. 10 seconds between paging through the pictures you took. The movie mode has no sound by the way. I purchased it for $40 and it is not worth that. Steer clear of this one if you want to keep your sanity. The only good thing that I can think of is that it is small. My main camera is a 6X optical zoom, so it is larger. I purchased this one so I could throw it in my pocket on vacations. After how much I like it, wouldn't kill me if I jumped in the water with it. Oh, did I mention it is SLOW. ... Read more

Good Cheap Digital Video Camera
I just bought this camera today.At the time I thought I was getting a great deal, but now I realize that I probably paid a fair price accurate of its worth since it is no longer on the market.The picture quality of still photos and video clips of a maximum 10 sec. long is really below mediocre so far. The one I bought was obviously a store return, since it had some very blurry family photos stored on the internal memory when I got it.One thing that is confusing me - There was this one photo of a girl on the beach which was crystal clear.Maybe the camera came with that picture already on the memory as a sample, but I have been totally unable to get pictures anything like that on my camera. The camera was very easy to use once I read the owners manual and it does an excellent job on the sound recordings.It has some quirks on the way you do things which are easy once you figure them out, but if you have ever used another digi. camera then you might be confused.I have used digital cameras of friends and relatives, and since I'm not in a financial position to get a digital camera of any quality, I'm happy, but if you want good pictures or good digital video files and you can afford more, I would recommend something else.This camera is everything that it promises, but it is still "bottom rung".

i thought that it looked cool, but...
i thought that it looked cool, but... I got more than I expected!
After hearing the troubles of digital cameras from many different people.I am pleasantly surprised at the ease of use and the relatively good quality of pictures.The downloading to a PC is a snap and if any trouble comes up the camera can be re-downloaded without a hitch.I work in the computer software and hardware industry so I can say with confidence that this product has a great balance of price and power.Just having the ability to record movies AVI's (short ones) and sound - WAV files should put this product in a higher price bracket .thanks for keeping it affordable Argus ...

Good ...til you open it...
So my father-in-law wants a "really simple and easy" digital camera.That worked out good because this camera didnt even work and you can't get any simpler than that!I gave this as a Christmas present if that wasn't bad enough.But, it always feels good to give a broken Christmas gift..its humbling if nothing else.Except I crawled under the couch and stayed there until everyone left because I was so embarrassed.It worked for .025 seconds but by the time I squeeled and threw it up in the air to look at it -it had shut off again.JUNK< JUNK< JUNK!You get what you pay for.Don't waste your life!

Piece of junk
At first it seemed ok, despite bad indoor color, blurry images, etc. It was good enough for web thumbnail images, and what do you expect this [cost]? Then a month or so later it started going haywire. Sometimes it would not even turn on. Other times it would turn on, but then shut down as soon as you tried to take a picture. At least I got a USB cable out of the deal. Based on this experience, Argus is the Yugo of digital cameras. Don't waste your time on this...plastic junk. ... Read more

EASY DOES IT CAMERA
I received this camera for a Christmas present. My first digital camera, it's a snap to use. Good quality pictures, easy to use instruction booklet, and conveniently small size are it's best features. The limit of 4 or 8 MB memory cards is a little diassapointing unless one purchases several (they are rather inexpensive). The carrying case is handy and it is thoughtfuly included in the camera package, as is also the software to edit pictures and the serial cable and USB cable. The USB cable makes downloading go pretty fast. A fun, versatile, convenient camera.

Quick Fun
I received this as a Christmas present, not to replace my "old" camera, but as another way to play with the computer and photos. It is very easy to use and to hook up to your computer is a breeze. It is very small however, and you need to hold it very steady. It only came with a 4MB memory card, and can only go up to 8MB, but as I said before it's great for quick fun and creativity with software like PhotoExpress etc. ... Read more
