I like, no love this camera. It is nice and compact, so I can take it anywhere. The touch screen is very useful and allows me to change the settings I want to take great pictures or even shoot a video if I want. I'm not a professional photographer, but I think my pictures come out looking as if I was. Its great that it uses AA batteries cause I can always just replace them on the go without having to find a wall outlet and then wait for a battery to charge.

I had high hopes for this camera when I bought it. I liked the low price and the reviews I read were pretty good. Only thing I worried about was that people said the on/off switch was likely to turn on by accident, eating up batteries. I figured I could deal with that by having a hard case and being careful. When I got it, I found out that, at least on the one I had, the on/off switch was hard to get to turn on when you wanted it on and would turn on "by itself" when you didn't want it on. I called it finicky. I spent a lot of time trying to turn the thing on instead of capturing the shot I was after. Once I took pictures and loaded them on my laptop, the slideshows were marred by vertical grainy lines lines running through each shot. I never tried printing a picture so I don't know if the lines showed up in print. I sent the camera back and ordered a different one. I bought an 8.0 megapixel camera (fewer megapixels) and am very happy with it. I think too many megapixels caused the problem with the grainy lines. Who needs 12 or 16 megapixels anyway?

I Have the CW450t HP camera in color merlot, I LOVE THIS CAMERA and I record Video for as long as I want as long as I have a Big GB memory card the sound is crisp and loud and the video is clear so is the pics the touch screen is great and I have so many options of scenes, back grounds,.....ect and you can write, draw, and use art stamps on the pics there is a lot to choose from the only problem I have is that the shutter speed is a little slow and the zoom is just ok but its worth its money I just wish I had it in Ocean Blue but if your looking for an every day camera for that every moment this is the camera you want I took 1900 pics with this came already and only had it for a year

I'm so used to touchscreen products having great attributes this one let me down. It cannot even record video?!?! And the user interface is completely shoddy. I will not get another HP product in the near future.
