Editorial Reviews : The Argus DC3500 feature a 2.1-megapixel CCD sensor that ensures bright and vivid digital photos. You can effortlessly set up your shots using the 1.5-inch color LCD display. The built-in sensor flash fires automatically whenever there is not enough light, so you don't have to worry about photos coming out too dark. The 10-second self-timer comes in handy when you're taking group photos or a self-portrait. It comes with a built-in 8 MB flash memory as well as a CompactFlash card slot for additional memory storage. You can directly download the pictures onto your computer using the included USB cable and software. Argus offers a one-year warranty.
Buyer Reviews : I own Argus DC3550 instead of DC3500. The model I have has 3xoptical/2xdigital zoom and can take up to 2.1 Megapixels JPEG picture. This is my first digital camera and so far I am satisfied with its performance. Pros: - Price is low if not the lowest. Good for entery level photographer. - Big 1.8' LCD display. - build in flash with auto/red eye/night/fill-in options. - Has Video Output function. - Comes with a camera bag.
- Easy to set up when you first use it. - User friendly USB PC interface. Just plug in Windows ME/2000/XP and the machine will recognize the camera as a removeable driver. - The picture taken is clear even in the 640x480 mode. I tried taking pictures outdoor and indoor with 60 Watts light on. The pictures are terrific.
Cons - The batteries drain very fast. I can only take 20 pictures when my 4 AA alkaline batteries died. I have to use NiMH rechargeable batteries instead. - Can only take 12 seconds movie. - You have to take off the len cap before you start the camera. Otherwise it will shut off automatically. - The power button seems not functioning properly sometimes. - No AC adapter.
Considering the price of this camera and the features it provides, I rate this camera as 4 star. If you are a beginner and your budget is tight, this camera is absolutely a choice.
