Argus DC3500 2MP Digital Camera

Argus DC3500 2MP Digital Camera $143.00 At Amazon on 2-28-2011.

I am the type of person that can bargain hunt and get by on great deals, even if they are missing lots of features that most people think are "necessary"....I thought I could overcome the problems people stated in the reviews. I was wrong. This camera makes lovely pictures. Evidently, the lens and the Sony ccd chip are quality. I have no complaints about image quality. However, the time, effort and frustration that it took to make the photographs caused me to return this camera after a week. Most bothersome is that this camera has a terrible parallax problem, meaning what you see in the viewfinder is not accurate. I had a little bit of this problem with my Kodak dc-3200, but this problem with the Argus made the camera unusable. Heads, feet, tops of buildings...all cut off. I would say the viewfinder is only 60% accurate. Unacceptable amount of error in my opinion. I have 4 digital cameras. I usually don't pay attention when people complain about battery life, b/c all digitals eat batteries. This camera, however, is the worst yet. I drained 4 Nimh rechargeables after 10 pictures, no flash. Terrible. When the batteries begin to drain, the camera powers off. (without warning.) It is often difficult to tell if the camera is off or on. I read that in other reviews and thought the authors were just techno-illiterate. No way..they are right on. You never know if the stupid thing is off or on. And the buttons on the back? Tiny, and impossible to tell if you have actually pushed them and the command was read. You can push and push, and finally, the button will do what it is supposed to do. Final problem...it takes over 30 seconds to write each image to memory after shooting it. Extremely slow....makes your subjects insane, trying to stand still...and all the while, you don't know if you have framed the shot correctly, if the button is really pushed, or if the darned thing is even on. Really, buy yourself the Kodak dc-3200 if you need a cheap digital. While the resolution is lower, it is a nice, reliable, user friendly camera. I could never recommend the Argus.
