HOT!!! Argus DC3500 2.1MP (actual CCD resolution) digital camera w 8mb CF & 1.5in LCD > $99 shipped at Amazon

[austonia]

Amazon.com

I know Argus is one of the least desirable brand names because they are in the low-end of the digital camera spectrum.

However ....

$99 bucks for a 2.1 MP digicam with 8mb memory + CompactFlash slot, and 1.5in LCD screen, is a great deal!+ free shipping

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000683A0/qid=1028161034/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-6635984-7288825

or just search amazon for Argus DC3500

no amazon user reviews yet, and no info i could find on the web or at the usual review sites.

hope this works for somebody

if i can find that cam somewhere in town, i'll take some pics with cf and transfer them. sounds hot to me though -- liked the kodak dc3200 (argus 3200?). does amazon take pmo? tia

 

[simonkao]

No Digital Zoom??

 

[unclebud]

well, where can you find a 2mp digicam with ozoom for $99?

 

[carmann]

does amazon take pmo? tia

Yes they do.

anyone know if this is a decent camera? wouldn't mind a cheap digital camera.

 

[JACKHAMMER]

No Digital Zoom??

Why on earth would you want a digital zoom?? Optical is a must, but digital is better done AFTER you take the picture (photoshop) with better results.

 

[theshamu]

Well, digital or optical, this camera has neither -- no zoom! I guess it's cheap for a reason.

Anyway, if combined with a $20 off coupon that expires tonight , it's hard to beat at $80!

 

[toshiba3020]

I got a working coupon, for $80 this is really tempting. Should I get it? Or would a 1mp camera with some zoom features(so you can focus) be better?

 

[toshiba3020]

BTW..if you dont have a $20 off coupon, you could use the coupon to get you a free 32mb compact flash card, its on amazons web page.

 

[PrinceVegita]

Does anyone have reviews or pics of this cam?

Can someone pm me one of those cool 20 off thingies? =)

 

[shabby]

I had an argus camera before(not this one though), worst image quality ever.
Dont be suckered by the low price, its cheap for a reason.

 

[Wedesdo]

What the...!!?!?!

Our Price: $99.99 + $90.00 sourcing fee

 

[austonia]

this is weird.... wednesday it was in stock, nothing unusual. then thursday Amazon listed it as "Discontinued". Now today it's got a $90 surcharge?? wtf

 

[icantiwont]

 

[icantiwont]

Sorry having some problems posting, but what the heck is this sourcing fee of $90? i have a digital camera from these guys (not this one), it's a piece of junk.
actually, i have two (one still in box unopen). can't even hold a light to my Nikon 995. Of course, it doesn't cost as much as my 995 either. I guess you get what you pay for.

 

[unclebud]

that's exactly right
but it's a good cam for beginners, if it's the same as the kodak...

 

[toshiba3020]

Well, if I dont like it, I bet i can ebay it for at least what I paid.

 

[ThaiBruin]

Our Price: $99.99 + $90.00 sourcing fee

added to the cart, it comes out to $189.99... wtf??

 

[AsukaStrikes]

the extra $90 is to hire mystical wizards that conjure the digital camera from its source.

for an extra $5 bux they'll build u necromancer tanks in warcraft III

 

[DorkBoy]

Hmmmm,.... I'd gladly buy this for $80 but now mine says $90 sourcing fee, I have no clue ??

 

[toshiba3020]

If I dont like the camera, Ill sell it to anyone intersted for $80.

 

[AMDBOY]

AsukaStrikes, lmao. Originally quoted by AsukaStrikes: "the extra $90 is to hire mystical wizards that conjure the digital camera from its source." No doubt, I agree. Maybe take a chance @ $100 or less, but not $200.

 

[grimmgrinn]

Austonia-
You really should change the thread's title, as the camera is now showing up for $189.99, not $99. Big difference, especially considering the brand.

Toshiba3020-
I've got dibs on that camera, if you end up not liking it! (For $80 why not, right?)

 

[vinnyracer]

Too funny, I never heard of a $90 source fee.
