Advantages: Takes AAA batteries and....er.....er...hmmmm.... takes AAA batteries Disadvantages: Awful screen, not user friendly, feels cheap and nasty, made out of inferior materials etc. etc.
I needed a new digital camera and fast and only having the ability to get to Argos (because of the late night opening times) the camera had to be available from Argos. The other criteria I set included a minimum of 12 mega pixels, face detection, a large screen, powered by AAA batteries and costing no more than £100. With the large number of cameras satisfying my criteria I thought I would have no problems in finding something suitable, it?s just a shame the Argos in Norwich is so poor and seems to have very little stock, so my choice was limited.
