5 comments about HP Photosmart M547 6.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom.

1. I love this camera! We looked at alot of cameras and this one was the best in the price range. We have a very active 2 year old and it takes wonderful pictures of him. My husband took a picture of our ceiling fan while it was moving and the picture came out clear, you couldnt tell that the fan was moving. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a decent priced camera.



2. My sister bought this camera for my daughter for Christmas. We are really impressed with it's quality. I own a Canon A560 and I think the pictures taken with this camera are even nicer. It's very user friendly and you can do some nice editing on the camera itself. I am very impressed. (And I have to be pretty impressed or not impressed to go out of my way to write a review).



3. HP Photosmart M547 6.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
   This is my second HP after 7 years. HP was my choice again for the ease of use, ease of understanding the
   instructions and ease of connecting to the printer and the MAC computer. The screen is large, and what you see in the screen is the you picture get.
   
   For the price is was THE RIGHT CHOICE AGAIN ----HP.

4. The 6.2MP HP M547 Photosmart's not a bad utilitarian camera and good overall value for the $75 Online price, and the $9 2GB SD Card I got on Amazon using the Google Checkout discount was a great deal; But the 6.2 HP M547 Photosmart camera is not anywhere close to the camera my 4MP Nikon digital is. Good thing I found my Nikon again. I guess it's true, you get what you pay for, even if I did pay $200 for the 4MP Nikon 2 Chrismas' ago.



5. THIS CAMERA PERFORMS WELL AND OUT PERFORMS SOME 8 PIXEL CAMERAS.IT STOPS MOTION REALLY WELL. MADE MY CEILING FAN AT FULL SPEED LOOK LIKE IT WAS STANDING STILL SO IMAGINE WHAT IT WILL DO AT THE GAME. vERY GOOD FOR THE PRICE.

1. this camera is very tuff in a good way its taken lots of hits and spills and 3 drops NOT FROM ME. iv taken it on 3 trips its done well intill my friend droped it on a root it still works but the sliding door broke its a very very very good camera you need to get it.(the screen dint bake at all!!!)



2. I think one of the major things I disliked about the camera was its speed. When there is something important going on that I want to snap a quick photo of, it takes 10 seconds for the flash to load. Also, it eats through double A's. It is a relativly good camera for just like little still shots of your dog.



3. Used this camera for 2 months and it quit working. Don't bother calling HP they don't care.



4. Fortunately this camera was a prize... not a penny wasted on it
   I do not believe hot today can be sold a camera with fixed focus (maybe you think that with no focusing, your picture is taken just when you push the button - but that is not the case of this camera, that takes somewhat a second to shoot, even with no flash!!!), a sensor that seems to need a whole sun of ligth to produce a non grainy picture, an interface that because of it lack of buttons requires a lot of navigation even for simple and common adjusts. Not to mention its hungry of batteries, even alkaline or good NiMH ... is hp making batteries??? seems that they want to make money on bunchs of batteries sold to camera owners.
   Please stay away of this camera, unless you want to have something that deserves your angry and a your hammer!
   Pros: Lens cover.
   Cons: Too many for this space!



5. After reading through a lot of the reviews here I have to chime in. I have owned this model now for 2 years, having said that I have taken hundreds of pictures with it, many of these were very good and will be cherished. This is a great little camera for still photo's, let me repeat STILL photo's. It does a fantastic job of it, if you want to take photo's quickly (as in turn on and take a pic) forget it, it takes as long to turn on as Martha Stuart on dirty sheets. The flash recharge time isn't good so if you plan on taking several pics indoors in short order... forget it.
   As I have put here it looks like a mixed bag of feelings, on the one hand I have kept it and used it for hundreds of photo's, on the other I have missed/deleted hundreds because of the slightest movement on my part or the slightest movement of the object. I'm a patient man but I have steadily grown to hate this camera over 2 years. I have always had a higher priority than buying a new camera. As I get older I would rather not put up with some things and this is one I chose to put up with no longer.
   
   I hope this helps someone see it for what it is, fantastic for shooting stills, yet terrible for all around use. And please these cameras are horrific with standard batteries, use energizer e2 lithium you will see an difference beyond belief in the number of pics you can take (and they are lighter). IMHO

5 comments about HP E337 Photosmart 5MP Digital Camera.

1. My wife and I are always a bit behind the times with technology, and we've been using an old-school camera with film for years. This Christmas, I decided to treat my wife to this digital camera, though I had no idea what I was buying. As it turns out, I got lucky, as this has been exactly what we needed.
   
   Obviously, if you're looking at this camera, you understand the digital camera concept. We have absolutely loved the ability to discard bad pictures, transfer our pictures onto our computer, crop and adjust them, make slide shows, e-mail them to friends, and all of the other perks that come with digital pictures. What we did not expect was how well this cheap model would work.
   
   The quality of the pictures is fabulous. The camera is extremely user-friendly. My wife constantly comments on how amazingly light it is. The only complaint is that the resolution gets pretty crummy when you zoom in, but that's a small problem for such a cost-effective camera.
   
   I'm sure that this camera doesn't have many of the bells and whistles of more expensive options. We can't send e-mail through our camera, it doesn't double as a pocketknife, and it can't drive our car when we get tired. But it does everything we need and more. I am happy to recommend this camera to anyone interested in a high-quality, basic digital camera, especially as an entry into the digital world. It has made me irritated that we didn't make this investment sooner!!



2. its what you need, but not what you want, work real good for pic. but not for the video, its ok for the price.



3. I like this item very much. I feel so licky thatI have this. Thanks,
   EJ



4. This is the best camera for first time users. Forget those Disney cheapo's spend a few extra bucks and buy this one. My child has learned this whole camera on her own. I would recommend this camera to anyone.



5. I was very wary of purchasing a digital camera. All the options, styles, and what the heck are pixels and what do they have to do with pictures, anyway? Well it turns out that the 5 megapixels are great for my small to medium photos. The battery lasts for a while, even longer if you take measures to save the battery. Even though I do not find it hard to figure out how to use technology, I think even my mom could figure out how to use this. The buttons and menus are so easy, and it even explains what the options mean and how they affect your pictures. My only issue is that I didn't know I had to buy a memory card for it, so there you go: Buy a memory card and shoot away!

5 comments about HP 8887 R Series Digital Camera Dock for R507, R607, R707, & R717 Digital Cameras.

1. I purchased this and spent 3 days on the phone with Hewlett Packard trying to get the correct adapter so it would fit my R818 camera (the dock has a thin port, roughly 10 connectors) while the R818 has a mini USB plug).
   
   HP was less than helpful when it came to trying to get the correct adapter, getting a different answer each time I spoke to a different rep (even being told at one point that no supervisors were working). I was finally able to get someone willing to send me one, but said it was going to be 10+ business days to get it, which by then I'll be on vacation (and I purchased it well in advance giving myself time to get the adapter, thinking it was not hard to get). I was looking forwared to using the dock on my vacation.
   
   I would definately *not* recommend this if you have the Photosmart R818 digital camera, unless you like the stress of spending hours on the phone with Hewlett Packard trying to get a correct part, and waiting 10+ business days to get it.



2. The default supplier for this item is Adorama. They have sku numbers mixed up on the back end, so they will ship you the HP 6221 dock instead. Will not work with the R series.
   They do not even carry the actual HP 8887 dock.
   Huge hassles, so click on the new and used link and buy directly from Amazon. It's a few dollars more, but at least you get the right item.



3. I bought this dock from a seller called Miga. They did an excellent job of answering my questions on the product and sending everything in mint condition. I use the dock for my HP R817. Having read the reviews regarding the insert I just went through HP's part site and ordered the correct insert for my camera. It was only $5 (before shipping) and it arrived the same day as the dock package. The dock transfers data so much faster then the cradle that comes with the camera plus it has an extra battery which would cost $50 and up by itself from HP. I bought the dock for its dual charging ability for when I go on trips since this dock is less expensive then the fast charge travel kit. I probably won't use the remote control feature or print images right from the dock. But for what I will use it for its an excellent product for the price and I highly recommend it for you 817 818 users out there.



4. i like the ease of use. i bought this product because i had lost my camera adaptor. it's very easy to use but i did experience problems. the first is that it cannot seem to fully charge the battery that is in the camera when it's sitting in the dock. the light keeps blinking, meaning its still charging. its not that big of a deal since the dock can charge another battery in another compartment in the base. the only other problem that was frustrating was the installation of the software that came with it. my computer did not seem to launch into the installation process. after researching on the internet about other simular problems associated with this scenerio, i found that you have to keep inserting the disk until it takes. so i tried like 6-8 times and it installed with no problem.
   this dock is very handy though. you can transfer images to your computer with a click of a button and you can hook it up to your tv and view the images. the remote is very simple to use. this is a truely great concept of a product with a few glitches. without the glitches, i would have given it 5 stars.



5. Docking Station had to have its software updated in order to provide excellent pictures on our TV. If you purchase this item be prepared to download and update the Docking Station software.

5 comments about HP M737 Photosmart Digital Camera.

1. Camera takes beautiful pictures. Crisp and clear. The automatic lighting feature is great. I took pictures in my living room at night and they were clear and bright. But with the 16mb internal memory, if you have the settings to good quality photo taking (8mp), it can only hold a few photos in memory (8 pictures I think). I also got the camera for the video feature. Problem was, it can only take a 13 second video with the 16 mb of internal memory. Had to get a card. Luckily, they were on sale too so I got a 4GB card the next day. Now I can take 51 minutes of video. And the sound was very surprising. Of course the camera doesn't have speakers so you can't hear the sound till you upload the video to your PC. And I can store over 1000 pictures now.
   Never had a digital camera before. I guess there's no getting around the lithium batteries cause the alkaline batteries they provided to get you started only lasted for about 6 hours. HP tech told me the zoom feature eats up a lot. Anyhow, takes great pictures.



2. Getting an 8 megapixel camera for between $100 and $150 is a deal. This is not a Leica. But it has a Pentax lens, is easy to use, has many shooting modes, and Lo! it stitches photos together to create panoramas! The videos are fine VGA quality with sound. Join the youtube generation. The HP photo software that is included is good, but you might want to download Google's Picassa program for its many spiffy abilities (which do not include photo stitching for panoramas - use the HP program for that).
   
   This is a splendid first camera. But I should talk. This is my fifth digital camera, which includes some Lumix Leica lens models. I bought this to carry with me (it is light and small enough) to get those shots that won't wait. I think this is the sweetest camera in this price range.
   
   HP's site has more info on the camera than Amazon for you tekkies.

3. We bought this camera for Christmas. We found it took nice pictures and was easy to use; however, it has a major design flaw. The memory card slot is inside the battery compartment which is extremely difficult to open and easily broken. Within 10 days the battery compartment door was broken because those little tabs that hold it closed are tiny and weak. HP replaced the camera. Now the new camera has the same problem and now a new problem. Another tab holding the battery compartment has broken. It's a different one from the one that broke on the first camera but they are all made the same; tiny and too weak to withstand the regular opening required to retrieve the memory card. The new problem is that the slot that holds the memory card will no longer release the card. When you push down on it, it is suppose to pop up; it doesn't. The camera has suffered no abuse beyond regular, responsible use. I would not recommend buying this camera no matter what the cost.



4. This camera is great. I am a huge HP Camera fan. This is my 3rd one (I upgrade every 3 Megapixels once they go on sale). It is easy to use and makes beautiful pictures.
   
   I am a picture a holic. I constantly take pics of my niece and nephews. This camera has held up with the excessive use and pics are as beautiful now as before. The different shoot modes allow you to get just the right lighting and exposure for any situation. The fact that you can edit the photos directly in the camera is great. Especially if you are using one of the gogo HP printers.
   
   The manual recommends lithium batteries and they work the best. I got about 4 hours of heavy picture taking out of the alkaline and about 7 out of rechargable. The lithium last about 3 days of very heavy picture taking.
   
   I would recommend this camera to anyone. It has been nothing but a pleasure for me.



5. When I bought this camera I hadn't been looking for a new digital camera for very long, my old one was really nice but it was bulky and outdated...I liked that this camera was small but not too tiny, it was a really good value...an 8mp w/ lots of extras for under $130!! ( even the HP home site couldn't compare with Amazon's deal + free shipping )and overall it seemed pretty idiot proof... ( I am completely challenged when it comes to electronics ) When I got it I was so excited to try it out...I took it to my daughter's dance watch night and with the video feature recorded her dance numbers ( with the extra SD memory card I bought ) It was very easy to upload the video and pictures I took onto the computer using the software it came with...I even figured out how to email all of it to out of town realatives without being reduced to tears! I would absolutely buy this camera again and would recommend it to anyone, the only suggestion that I have would be to get either a set of good rechargable batteries or lithium ion batteries...they may cost more now but they are well worth it...also, investing in an extra memory card or two is probably a good idea if you plan to use your camera a lot...I got a 2GB memory card on Amazon for $5 !! You won't find a better deal then that anywhere !!

1. Have used for about a year.All photos were great even indoors with flash at a wedding. I just used the video feature for the first time filming my grandson on the back of grandpas quad and it was fabulous!I made a short movie with windows movie maker and added a slide show of the prints and burned it on my laptop at camp for him to take home. Awesome. Love the camera.Found none name brand batteries for extras on ebay and have two charged extra at all times



2. The person that made the bad review on this camera in my opinion went way overboard. I think this is a pretty good camera with only few problems and if you have steady hands you won't have any problems at all, And if your fingers get in the way of the flash you Have to have some really big hands.And with the charging and the photo transfer its pretty easy plug the camera cradle in your USB port with the camera seated, and it's done or you can remove the memory card and plug it in a slot if you have one. The cradle is lightweight and easy to carry. I really do not see a problem with that.The only big problem I have is you have to be steady or you will get a foggy photo, I use a tripod most of the time and the pictures comes out perfect. The smaller problems with me is some of the buttons on top, I have had problem pushing these when taken a freehand shot, also when you are using Anti red eye or some of the other features this camera has It slows down the shots.I am rating this 3 stars only because of this camera not having a anti-shake mode. I am not a pro But I think I know when I see a good photo, To me with this camera steady it can take as good as any photo you will see from a 200-500 dollar camera.



3. I received it on time and in great condition.
   Nice camera. My daughter loves it!



4. Originally I loved my r927. Other than slow shutter speed in zoom modes, it performed like a gem. Now, 14 months later, it's dead. It won't hold a battery charge for more than a few minutes. I tried a new battery and it still wouldn't hold a charge.
   
   As for a repair, this is what HP said "Lisa, the complex circuitry and the extreme care and expertise requirement to repair the digital camera costs almost equal to the price of a new camera. This is the reason why HP does not have any service centers."
   
   This was their suggestion, "Lisa, the upgrade options available for your camera are mentioned below:

   They seriously expect me to purchase the same camera from them at a higher price than what I can get it on Amazon or eBay! No discount, no exchange offer, nothing.
   
   I guess, for HP, "1-year" warranty equals the "life of the product".



5. Very happy with this camera. Great deal, great price, love the features.
   
   I'm a very experienced hobbyest. I also have a Nikon D-70S. I bought this camera to always have a camera on me that's small and light.
   
   The features on this camera are fantastic, the big viewing screen, stabilizing, etc., and it's very user friendly. You'll figure out how to use it in no time even if you're inexperienced in using a digital camera. You just can't beat it for the price.

5 comments about HP Photosmart R937 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom.

1. Just to say that this a wonderful product for its versatility ,max practice and quality .



2. With all of the newer cameras getting bigger displays, this one seems to be on the cutting edge. But unfortunately it falls way short. The display appears to be a large, low resolution display that does not show much detail for an 8MP camera. I think my 3MP Nikon with the 1.8" display was clearer.
   
   Also the pictures from the camera are unusually grainy. I typically use PhotoShop's sharpen feature before I print my photos, but with this camera a solid-colored background jumps to life. This is after I adjusted the parameters for the higher resolution.
   
   On the positive side, the videos came out great and I like the choice to make some settings permanent or not. There was no difficulty downloading the pictures using the disk-mode.



3. I bought this camera for the cool touchscreen--I wanted the biggest LCD I could find, and I really like that part, along with the in-camera editing features. However, all the editing features don't save this camera from a huge design flaw, which is that they put the flash right over the lens! The result is that most of the pictures I take using flash have those little white circles in them where the flash bounces off dust particles near the lens. Most of my flash pictures aren't just poor, they're ruined! Unfortunately, I take most of my pictures indoors, in low light. HP Support was no help at all. I would definitely not buy this camera again.



4. This is simply everything that I have ever wanted in a digital camera. I purchased this camera in August a week after it was on the market. I have waited until now to write a review because i wanted to fully test it. I LOVE this CAMERA. It has taken me from Vegas to Cali to VA Beach and all points in between. I have not had one bad picture. I was sold on the touch screen feature. My four year old can make mommy skinny on this camera or adjust red eye. It's that easy to use. After 6 months of using this camera..I would purchase it again and again without hesitation.



5. I tell you I really wanted to love this camera. I think the touch screen and huge LCD are great innovations and make this camera fun and easy to use. If all you are taking are pictures out on a sunny day, then this IS a great camera. However, any type of inside shot or low light shots are awful. A little noise is bearable. However, there is so much noise in low light pictures using the R937, that even the best editing software can't do much to improve the shots. Also, in my experience, the pet-eye reduction had no impact at all in shots of our dog. The red-eye reduction feature on the camera works well, and that is good because you're going to need it! The placement of the flash immediately above the lens was a design mistake in my opinion, because it washes out many of what would otherwise be a good picture.
   
   Again, if this camera is mainly for outdoor shots at the beach, you will be happy with the results. If not, steer clear and buy something else.

5 comments about HP Photosmart MZ67 8MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Zoom.

1. This is a great little camera. I bought it because I owned the HP R742 but it was stolen. I replaced it with this camera. I choose this camera instead of replacing the R742 mainly for the price. The MZ67 had 8 megapixels, and it had the stablization feature and a more power zoom. The camera takes stellar pictures. I also like that it uses 2 AA batteries which is easier to replace than having to carry around a special charger for the R742. The only draw back I have is the size of the lens for the powerful zoom. The camera is a little chunky. It fits in most of my purses, is not as slimline as the R742. But for the money it was a better buy. Great camera I would highly recommend it.



2. I am happy with my purchased of the HP Mz67, it is extremely user friendly, simple and straight to the point. It is a major difference from a 3x zoom camera to the a 6x zoom.
   
   Likes: 6x zoom, anti-shake mode and super close-up mode work perfectly, 2.5" screen, easy to change settings, the price. Fix red eyes right in the camera
   
   Dislikes: The lens does not retract all the way in the camera, making it a little bigger thank I expected, only 16Mb internal memory (for emergencies). The design gallery could use a little more options and borders etc.. even though I never used those fancy design gallery options, it is always nice to know that you have it if you ever need it and besides that is why photoshop software was created.
   
   The camera takes excellent pictures and I don't have to wait for the next presidential election to take another picture. for my line of work the super close-up mode is like a gift from heaven. I had more expensive camera and the Mz67 out-perform them in every category except for fancier options(photoshop fix that issue). For the price and the performance I will recommend the Mz67 to anyone. You will definitely get more bang for you buck.HP Photosmart MZ67 8MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Zoom



3. I had to get a camera with date / time imprinting capability for motorcycle rallies, and bought this to replace my Canon Powershot G3 for these rallies. I was surprised at the combination of light weight, small size, and double the resolution of the Canon, and at a price about 25% of what I'd paid for the G3 at that time. This camera has a menu that's easy to navigate, and the photos are excellent. Using non-proprietary AA batteries and an SD card are another two advantages this camera has over the G3. The only (minor) downside to this camera is loss of a viewfinder. Overall a very good camera.



4. Great camera! Takes great pictures and video, and has a lot of awesome features like you can crop a picture and remove red eyes right on the camera. Also, it's just the right size. It's not as slim as some other cameras, but it's not bulky either. One thing I don't like about this camera, though is that you can't listen to your videos on the camera. You can record and watch them, but there's no audio.



5. I have wanted a digital camera for a long time but couldnt justify the expenditure and I didnt want to get one with less than $5 mp. This camera is GREAT! it has red eye remover build in the camera, the pics and clear and the zoom is very good and the software is good. I am very happy with the purchase and the price makes it sweet! Great images and now im ready for anything.

5 comments about HP Photosmart R742 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver).

1. I bought this camera for my 78 yr. old mother because she wanted a camera that wasn't too difficult to use. This is the one! You don't even have to read the manual to use it. It's self explanitory. Literally! It has a feature that shows on the viewer whether you are taking a picture or viewing a picture. All features are easily marked and easy to read. It's light weight, which was important to my mom who has terrible arthritis in her arms. She loved that she didn't have to raise the camera all the way up to her eyes. She just looks into the very generous view screen! It takes great photos too, by the way. And no, my mom didn't have a problem with the fact that the camera goes into "sleep mode" after only 15 seconds. She just touches a button and the camera comes back to life. No biggie. Too bad not all digital cameras are this simple to use.



2. The camera itself is great. The color qualities, though come out kind of funny. Nothing that a little computer touching up can't fix, though. And do not buy the HP slim case to go with it. The camera is too small. It makes the case seem big and bulky.



3. Bought this little camera for my wife for Christmas in 07. She really loves it and the Ruby Red color. She has had no problems using it and the picture quality is really good for a little camera. The battery life is great also. I highly recommend this camera for it's ease of use and utility.



4. It's great for a personal camera. If you'r wanting it to take absolutely profesional pictures, you might want to invest is a more expesive camera, but for the price it's at it's wonderful.
   It's not heavy and bulky and it can fit right into my purse or bag. It's easy to figure the buttons.
   The one thing that I don't like about it, is you set the camera for anti-shakiness, you have to reset it after every take.
   I love it, and I defenitely think it's a wonderful product from HP. It also seem to be built better than most.



5. I love my HP742 Digital Camera and the spectacular photographs I get with it. I can choose from a variety of shooting modes and even take high quality video with audio. It is a great looking, sturdy camera with an easy to understand menu packed with features. It has 16MB of internal memory plus an SD card slot included. I chose HP when I was ready to upgrade because my entry level HP Digital has been amazing through the years. I chose Amazon because I feel they put their customers first, and I have never been disappointed.

5 comments about HP R742 Photosmart Digital Camera (Black).

1. This camera is a neat little guy. I have a Nikon CoolPix 880 (a 3.3mp digital which is going on 7 years old) and I thought I would upgrade. The CoolPix still works great, so my wife will use it around the house for shooting the kids.
   
   At least one review of this product seems to be from someone who expects too much from a piece of technology in this price range. One of the complaints is that the pictures come out dark. Well, if you are shooting in poor lighting conditions and relying on the little flash on the camera to make up the difference then of course you will have dark pictures. But that is where Photo Shop or an equivalent program comes in handy.
   
   There are very few settings that can be changed. In contrast my 880 can have just about every aspect customized. However, keep in mind that the r742 is a point-and-shoot, not an SLR replacement. There are a number of preset shooting modes that optimize shutter speeds and aperture settings for the most common shooting environments. They seem to work very well.
   
   Here are some of the wonderful camera features. I can remove red-eye from the pictures from within the camera. The camera itself has a design gallery which lets me add frames, change color, rotate, and crop. There is a slide-show setting. It takes movies (more on that later). NOTE: Anytime you are modifying a picture, the camera makes a duplicate of the original picture and applies the changes to the duplicate. The original is still intact. Also note that when editing an image within the camera, some functions will take more time than others. One of the longest is red-eye removal.
   
   On a 2gb SD card and the camera set to full resolution I can shoot over 700 pictures. This camera is SD/SDHC compatible. I'm looking forward to putting in the 8gb SDHC (make sure you get a SDHC compatible card reader if you are getting an SDHC. Transferring files via the supplied USB cable is fine for a small number of pictures, but it can take a long time to transfer for large numbers of files, and you will use up your battery trying to do so). I don't need that much storage, but the cards are cheap, so why not? On a side note, the camera only seems to be able to count to 2000. When looking at various quality settings, it did not matter how low I set the quality, the camera only showed 2000 as the number of photos it could take on that card. It seems to me that a firmware update is in order.
   
   The pictures come out wonderful. I have taken some indoor pictures and the images are clear and sharp. Of course, as I mentioned earlier, the quality will depend greatly on ambient lighting conditions and, if using the flash, how close you are to the subject(s).
   
   Now to the only negative I have about the camera: the movie feature. It seems like it is a great feature to capture a quick moment, but it shoots at 24fps and at 320x240 dpi, which is fine for a camera. What is bad is the audio quality. But, let's face it, folks. This is a Point-And-Shoot still image camera, not a camcorder. It doesn't claim to be a camcorder replacement, nor does it even really use its video capabilities as a gimmick to draw attention to itself. It's more of a "I take unbelievably stunning photos (and by the way, I can also shoot some video)" kind of camera. If you want digital video capabilities in a handy little package, go get yourself a Flip Video.
   
   All-in-all, I highly recommend this camera. It's ease of use and excellent picture quality make it worth the money.



2. I bought this camera for my 78 yr. old mother because she wanted a camera that wasn't too difficult to use. This is the one! You don't even have to read the manual to use it. It's self explanitory. Literally! It has a feature that shows on the viewer whether you are taking a picture or viewing a picture. All features are easily marked and easy to read. It's light weight, which was important to my mom who has terrible arthritis in her arms. She loved that she didn't have to raise the camera all the way up to her eyes. She just looks into the very generous view screen! It takes great photos too, by the way. And no, my mom didn't have a problem with the fact that the camera goes into "sleep mode" after only 15 seconds. She just touches a button and the camera comes back to life. No biggie. Too bad not all digital cameras are this simple to use.



3. The camera itself is great. The color qualities, though come out kind of funny. Nothing that a little computer touching up can't fix, though. And do not buy the HP slim case to go with it. The camera is too small. It makes the case seem big and bulky.



4. Bought this little camera for my wife for Christmas in 07. She really loves it and the Ruby Red color. She has had no problems using it and the picture quality is really good for a little camera. The battery life is great also. I highly recommend this camera for it's ease of use and utility.



5. It's great for a personal camera. If you'r wanting it to take absolutely profesional pictures, you might want to invest is a more expesive camera, but for the price it's at it's wonderful.
   It's not heavy and bulky and it can fit right into my purse or bag. It's easy to figure the buttons.
   The one thing that I don't like about it, is you set the camera for anti-shakiness, you have to reset it after every take.
   I love it, and I defenitely think it's a wonderful product from HP. It also seem to be built better than most.
