3.0 out of 5 stars Just Okay, May 9, 2001

By

Kacy Harrison (Dallas, Tx) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Argus DC1500 Digital Camera Blue (Electronics)

For the money ,the Argus DC 1500 is okay. Keep in mind it doesn't have a flash or a window to preview the pictures. It takes 20 high res shots and 80 low res. I haven't even tried the low res because the high res isn't that great. If you're looking for a digital camera for e-mail than this camera will serve that purpose. Just keep in mind that you get what you pay for. I did really like the software that came with the camera. The Arcsoft Fantasy Photo is alot of fun to play with...

4.0 out of 5 stars Sure, get one., May 11, 2001

Alpha Chipmonk (Seattle, WA USA!) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Argus DC1500 Digital Camera Blue (Electronics)

Read the manual and it will tell you how to make this camera a webcam also! So you get 20 352X288 HiRes, 80 low res pictures. Eight and 2 second AVI clips, very fun software for superimposing pictures, printing stickers or labels, AVI software and a webcam for teleconferencing through Netmeeting or anyother teleconferencing software. Light weight, runs forever (almost) on 3 AAA batteries. Ya, duh, it doesn't have an LCD display or flash or zoom, but for the price you get all the other stuff and then some. Shop around, I got mine for $39.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beyond my expectations, September 16, 2001

This review is from: Argus DC1500 Digital Camera Blue (Electronics)

After reading a couple other reviews I was not expecting a lot from this camera. I was pleasantly surprised when I got it. It's easy to use. It installs flawlessly in W98SE. The photos are actually quite good. It doesn't have a flash, so don't expect to take photos in low light. The software that comes with it is very nice. I actually unpacked this camera and had pictures on my computer in about five minutes. If you don't have a quick, convenient way to get photos into your computer this is an excellant low-priced option. It does do a short video clip also, which astounds me for the price of the camera. This is a great way to get started with digital photos.
