Question about 2 digital cameras I picked up

[ZowieHowie]

Hey. I dont know if this is the right forum, but hopefully it is.

I was over at OfficeMax, and bought 2 digital cameras that were on sale. I was wonderign if anyone has any opinions on each one. They are:

HP Photosmart 320
2.1 MP
4x digital zoom
8 megs memory
1.5 inch LCD screen
More info is available at: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/un/WF05/15179-64213-64342-12117-75943.html
Additionally, this got 5 stars on Amazon.com customer ratings.

I paid $150 for this, and it came with a free 32 meg expansion card.


The other is.......
Argus DC3500 Digital Camera
2.1 megapixels
1.5 inch LCF display
8mb memory
2x digital zoom

I paid about 100 for this.

Which is the better camera? I was thinking the HP because of its name and the fact taht it came with an additional 32 meg card, but I'm npot sure. Please let me know if you have any opinions on these.
Also, someone has told me that all digital cameras seem to kill batteries rather quickly. Does anyone know how many pictures can be taken on one set of batteries. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I don't think that either camera is reviewed there.

The HP is probably better. (Having never heard of Argus.) HPs always seem like decent value. Plus they are huge enough that you could defend yourself with it if it came to that.

EDIT: BTW, that is a good price for the HP. BHphoto wants $180 for it.
