Argus makes a few digicams.
http://www.arguscamera.com/digital.html
The retail price for the DC3200 is $220- seems like alot. But I've found it
on sale online for $70!
I'm a 12 year old kid who needs a digital camera. I'm working on a job that
will fetch around $70. I need any camera I can get.
Any suggenstions?
thanks,
