Customer Reviews:
Don't even think about it!.......2004-06-18
Good:
1. It is very lightweight
2. It has a stylish front
3. When it every single setting is correct according to the environment you are in, it will take good shots. just good, not great.
Bad and Ugly:
1. battery life is so poor that it will leave you poor. Only about 18 shots per 4 AAA batteries.
2. Mediocre performance with photos
3. No optical zoom, digital zoom is no good!
4. tiny space for pictures. 8 at highest resoloution and a max of about 45 at very low resolution.
5. Hardly works with poular compact flash cards...only uses prpiretary ones. I tried sharing compact flash cards and it would not allow you to.
pverall it is a good camera is you want a fancy looking device. But for a digital camera, i rate it poorly.

Argus 3550 ...Excellent Buy.......2003-07-30
But was I wrong. I've owned several digital cameras including the two Olympus, two Cannon's one Nikon and my current Canon D-60. This camera really surprised me, especially for the value and surprising reasonable picture quality. Battery life with 4-AA rechargeable Ni-mh batteries has been as good as my Nikon 950. Picture quality is good; surprisingly good. ...The downloads from the camera to my PC have gone very easily as the camera was instantly recognized by my XP machine at home. I've not bothered using the onboard software as XP can handle photos fine.
I had a week to make up my mind if I wanted to keep the camera, and the decision is quite easy - it is a keeper. This is an inexpensive good camera and will make a good gift for my son who is off to college this fall.
