5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and nice pictures, November 1, 2002

I just bought the camera, and have been testing it. I have done pictures in both dim and bright indoor settings, and outdoors at noon and dusk. It takes very good pictures, with a very good color match. The only items it did not get well were some art glass items in a dim indoor setting that are hard to capture anyway. The software was easy to install and use. I have a 450Hz Pentium 1 and the camera uploaded 60 pictures, some at maximum quality, in less that 5 seconds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Digital Camera for the Price Anywhere, January 16, 2003

This review is from: HP PS620 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

I love this camera. It's by far the best value in a digital camera. I spent ages comparing features and prices. It has better resolution and zoom - 2.1 MP, 3 X optical and 4 X digital than cameras manufactured by the well-known camera companies, and for about half the price. The auto-focus, red eye eliminator etc. work very well. Out of the 400 shots I took the first three days I had the camera, only 3 were underexposed. The camera can take good, clear pictures of very small objects (12 X zoom, distant objects, interior, exterior. The silent movie option also works well. My only beef is that the batteries supplied with the camera only allowed me to shoot and upload about 400 pictures. So I recommend buying rechargables. This has replaced my older Cannon Eos Rebel.

While I'm not the world's greatest expert on photography, I'm very pleased with this camera. I find optical zoom very important, and this camera provides a 3x zoom at a very good price point. The pictures I took came out quite well, and the handling is convenient.

Two minor nits are that the camera feels very plasticky for its price (but so do all other cameras in this price range, it seems), and the built-in amount of RAM is not going to give you a whole lot of capacity.
