 Don't even think about it! June 18, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Hello everyone. I have been using this camera for close to 1 year. I think i can tell you all a bit about it.Good:
1. It is very lightweight
2. It has a stylish front
3. When it every single setting is correct according to the environment you are in, it will take good shots. just good, not great. Bad and Ugly:
1. battery life is so poor that it will leave you poor. Only about 18 shots per 4 AAA batteries. 2. Mediocre performance with photos 3. No optical zoom, digital zoom is no good! 4. tiny space for pictures. 8 at highest resoloution and a max of about 45 at very low resolution. 5. Hardly works with poular compact flash cards...only uses prpiretary ones. I tried sharing compact flash cards and it would not allow you to. pverall it is a good camera is you want a fancy looking device. But for a digital camera, i rate it poorly.

Paid just over a $100.00 for this 2.1 megapixel camera and its terrific.Very easy to use,great features for this price range.
Like all digital cameras,make sure you purchase some rechargeable batteries.
 Good Value in Small Package September 29, 2003
I got this camera with an Amazon.com Gift Certificate. This is a great starter camera. Easy to use. Easy to download pictures. The software that comes with it makes all pictures look clear and focused. Uses 4-AAA batteries, that you will be buying a lot of. Overall, a great buy for any digital camera looker. If you are looking for a nice camera, at a low price, look no further.
Bad warranty August 16, 2003

Check the warranty on this camera. Argus demands $$$$ be included when you return a defective camera in the fine print under the warranty. When you go to return a defective camera they increase the return to $$$. Not a good way to run a company. I would never buy an Argus product again.
Argus 3550 ...Excellent Buy July 30, 2003
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I picked up an Argus 3550, which is the zoom version of the 2 megapixel camera, .... It was on sale ... I figured at this price I'd surely be dissapointed as the quality surely was not any good.But was I wrong. I've owned several digital cameras including the two Olympus, two Cannon's one Nikon and my current Canon D-60. This camera really surprised me, especially for the value and surprising reasonable picture quality. Battery life with 4-AA rechargeable Ni-mh batteries has been as good as my Nikon 950. Picture quality is good; surprisingly good. ...The downloads from the camera to my PC have gone very easily as the camera was instantly recognized by my XP machine at home. I've not bothered using the onboard software as XP can handle photos fine. I had a week to make up my mind if I wanted to keep the camera, and the decision is quite easy - it is a keeper. This is an inexpensive good camera and will make a good gift for my son who is off to college this fall. ...
