Product Description:
The Argus M5500DC 35mm camera comes with fully automatic functions so you can effortlessly capture those important moments without worry. You can bring the action up close or get that expansive wide shot with the 38-80mm zoom lens, and the autofocus and autoexposure ensures photos will come out sharp and properly exposed. The electronic flash kicks in automatically when the shot needs more light, and the 5500DC can reduce the annoying red-eye phenomenon.
The multifunction LCD display is clear and readable, giving important information about the camera's current shooting mode. The big zooming viewfinder makes composing your shots a simple affair. The night-portrait feature is useful for getting that perfect shot in low light, while the electronic self-timer is great for group photos and self-portraits. You can even set the date onto your prints for record keeping purposes.
Film operation is hassle free, with completely automatic film loading, advancing, and rewinding. The film speed is also set automatically. The included wrist strap is a useful addition so you can conveniently travel with the camera. The 5500DC shuts off after a period of nonuse to conserve battery power. Argus offers a 10-year warranty.

Finding the Right Digital Camera
By Dave Etchells
Finding the Right Digital Camera
The overall goal of the Imaging Resource website (www.imaging-resource.com) is to help people chose and use digital imaging technology as effectively as possible. As simple as they are to use, choosing the right digital camera involves a number of decisions. Key issues are computing platform, image quality, onboard image capacity, exposure versatility, feature set, and included software. In this article, we'll lead you step-by-step through some of the issues to consider in making a purchase decision, and at the same time, suggest some things to look for in the test images we've collected on our website.
We're interested in your feedback and experience! We invite you to elaborate on this article by leaving comments via the database link at the bottom of the page. You can also give feedback in our "Forum" discussion-group section.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm.
But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras.
At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
