And no one bought it. I was always thinking of buying but never did. And so I went to the store a few days ago and they were having their sidewalk sale, well, on the table lay this argus bean camera, and the price, $5!! I got this for $5! It's so compact and cute. And the pictures aren't that bad. My mom wanted to go back and buy more but within 30 mins they were sold out. And the cool thing is you can use them as a webcam too! The disk manual tells you how to! Great buy. This camera was at a local drug store for 69.99. And no one bought it. I was always thinking of buying but never did.

Unfortunately I am past my warrenty through the store I bought it in, so my only option is to try to get someone at Argus, but I may be in my old age before I receive a response.

Anyone have one that has figured out how to get nice pictures? I can change the resolution and all that but I still don't seem to get anything worth keeping.

The battery would not stay charged and the skin started to peel off. When I sent Argus a request for a Return Authorization, I got no reply. I finally, after some months, got in touch with Peter Belanger (he posted above). He told me he would refund my $59.99. That was in July. It's now October. Don't try calling them for support, the telephone number goes no where. Don't email them, they don't respond. Last of all DONT BUY ANY ARGUS CAMERA and expect it to be supported.

The LCD on mine has just gotten wonky, unfortunately, displaying a flickering, doubled image. It does still take photos and movies, but being unable to use the LCD makes it pretty useless. Impossible to get in touch with Argus, as well, so that's troubling.
