Argus Bean 5MP 16MB 1.5IN LCD USB Li-on Battery Red

I bought two f these 4 my kids & they love them. They have great picture quality & they figured out how 2 use them on their own!

I got this camera 4 my 6-year-old grandson 4 Christmas. Now his friends want one. He loves it & so does his family. I opened it before I wrapped it up so it was ready 2 go & he was snapping pictures all day. They haven't tried the video yet. It is such a cool shape & easy 2 carry & take pictures on the go. A great first camera 4 little hands & a great second camera when you don't want 2 take a larger, more expensive camera with you.

We've been VERY happy with this camera. We bought two, one each 4 our 5 & 7 year old kids. Pictures taken outdoors look INCREDIBLE. It may sound silly, but I do believe that outdoor pictures taken with this camera rival just about anything out there. I'm saying this as a rather critical DSLR owner -- you would be hard-pressed 2 tell the difference between pictures taken outdoors with this camera vs those taken with my DSLR. We bought with the expectation that it would be of limited value indoors, & that's proven true. Indoor pictures are fairly horrible. Flash doesn't expose right when used, & without the flash the pictures are grainy & underexposed. Video seems ok, though I realized after taking a bunch that it was on a lower quality setting. Sound quality of video was rather bad.

All in all, if you consider this a no-frills, outdoor camera that can be used in a pinch 2 take video, you won't be disappointed - it's more than worth that money (very small & light, as well, so even though I bought it 4 the kids I plan on taking it on some overnight hiking trips). Four-to-five stars on that front. But if you think you'll be able 2 take indoor pictures, you will be SORELY disappointed. Only one-two stars 4 indoor pics. Since we expected that upfront, I think a 3-star rating is appropriate.

We bought this 4 our 3 1/2 year old son, who kept wanting 2 take our digital camera from us. He LOVES it!!! I especially love that you can plug it into the wall 2 charge the battery, instead of hooking it up 2 the computer 2 charge. It came with a cable/usb cord, so the same cord plugs into your computer & into the tv...this makes me happy, because I am constantly trying 2 find which cords go 2 which product & trying 2 remember how many cords there were. The resolution is pretty good, not as good as our Kodak...but works 4 our son. Of course he is still learning how 2 take pictures, so most of his were blurry. With that being said, my husband & I took a few pictures & they all turned out pretty good. There's also a flash 2 help in poor lighting. All in all, this was a great purchase 4 us & I am glad we didn't go with the Fisher Price camera, this will last him a lot longer.

Yeah, charged the camera overnight. Nothing. Won't turn on at all unless plugged into the charge cable or USB. Similar experience as the other reviewer. Will give it one more try with an exchange but I'm not very pleased. Daughter was thrilled 2 have her own camera 4 Christmas, but now she gets 2 wait 4 the exchange process. Way 2 go Argus / VisionTek / Chinese manufacturer.
