Digital camera reviews of Argus DC3500 2MP Digital Camera

Digital camera Review: A Good Digital Camera Value
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought a 128 MB SanDisk CompactFlash memory expansion card because I found the standard memory supplied with the camera only allows taking about 6 photos in 1600 X 1200 resolution and low compression. A small memory seems to be typical of the majority of digital cameras being sold, so I don't consider this a major shortcoming of the Argus. The optical viewfinder of this camera affords a good field of view, but seems to require some practice in learning to accurately frame your pictures in it. Digital cameras tend to drain alkaline batteries all too quickly and the Argus is no exception. However, switching over to Nickel Metal Hydride batteries and limiting the use of the color LCD and flash results in adequate battery life. I feel that rechargeable NiMH batteries are a must for this camera. The color LCD produces bright, sharp images indoors, but is too dim even on the brightest setting when used outdoors in sunlight, to be of use unless carefully shielded with the hand. The user's manual supplied with the camera is fair, leaving you to figure out some things on your own. Overall, I consider the Argus DC3500 with included accessories to be a good value for the money.
