Argus Camera, www.arguscamera.com,  is proud to announce the ARGUS|Simply “Earth Day” campaign.  Conscious of our evolving environment, Argus Camera is keeping it green by allocating 1% of The Bean® and Bean Sprout® digital camera proceeds* to protecting our environment.  Over the next months, Argus will select a specific environmental non-profit/non-advocacy organization to donate our part with.  We believe that the benefits of our future depend on what we do today!

The Bean® and Bean Sprout® clip-on line of digital cameras from Argus Camera, let you take the fun with you wherever you go.  Whether exploring, traveling, or just having fun, there’s nothing like easily capturing your special memories.   Our simple to use models incorporate a sleek unique design with simple operation to making picture taking easy for all ages. Take the Bean® anywhere: clip it to your backpack, purse or belt loop for access any time.  The Bean® is the perfect accessory for your active lifestyle and its rugged water resistant design gives you the peace of mind to take it anywhere.  Argus helps you do your part –the rechargeable battery is a real good start -knowing that we will give back to the environment is comforting to the heart.

The 5mega pixel “Green Bean” makes an exclusive debut at all Best Buy locations in late April 2008 and packs a lot of punch in a small pod.  “Argus is moving in a unique new direction with the digital camera, we are building trendy, innovative products that are functional, fun, affordable, and conscious minded.” stated Michael Innes, COO and EVP of Argus Camera, LLC. “We are very proud to be launching our new Bean® and Bean Sprout® line of at Best Buy stores this month, as we share very similar core environmental business philosophies.”   The well equipped Bean® will ship in two variations; a 3.2 mega pixel or a more robust 5 mega pixel version. Both come standard with a full 1.5” LCD display, 16MB internal Flash memory, USB output, SD upgrade slot, still/movie/play back modes and an environmentally friendly lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Additional accessories include user guide, video cable, USB cable, Arcsoft PhotoImpression, and driver installation CD.  Both Bean models use standard SD memory cards.

The Bean Sprout® is the Bean’s little cousin.  Just the right size to clip to your key chain or belt loop, it’s the perfect companion to capture any moment without the bulk of a traditional digital camera. The Bean Sprout® is a great way to introduce a first-time user to the convenience and value of digital camera technology. With a selection of different colors (Red, Yellow, Pink, and Blue), the Sprout allows for expression both inside and out.  With our versatile clip-on design, there’s no need to worry about your sprout losing track of their Sprout. Soon your kids may be asking you “Have you Bean there?”.

The Bean Sprout® will be available at all Best Buy locations in late April 2008.  The Bean Sprout® Digital Camera fits in the palm of your hand and is smaller than an average car key.   The Bean Sprout® comes equipped with 2MB internal memory, Li-Ion Rechargeable battery, and USB compatible.  Additional accessories include user guide, video cable, USB cable, Arcsoft PhotoImpression, and driver installation CD.
