Very clear pictures, very happy with this camera. Note that it has only the LCD screen and no viewfinder, but this hasn't been a problem for me as it's pretty easy to use.

This is a great camera - especially for the price. HP makes the camera-computer interface software very user-friendly and it takes great pictures as well. It has a nice big LCD screen and the Lithium-Ion battery lasts for a long time for me. I recommend this camera very highly.
