Purchased the Photosmart M437 for $100/- from Walmart. I was able to use all its features without even reading the manual. What a relief from the other cameras that I used that were cluttered with buttons and dials all over, half of which I did not even know what to use for. The use of the buttons on this camera is intuitive. It has just what we need, no more, no less. I take multiple pictures for every pose and select the best one for printing when I view them on the computer.

If you are not a professional and just take family pictures this is the camera for you. And if you think you need more than 5 megapixels, you are insane.

This is my 3rd camera in the last 7 years. My first camera was a $400/- Kodak, 2nd was a $280/- Canon. Both of them broke after 2-3 years of use. Every year technology is progressing at such speed, why spend hundreds of dollars on electronics that gets cheaper every year and also on features that you will never even use ?

HP is a name I trust. I have used 4 laptops over the last 5 years, 1 Sony, 1 Dell, 2 HPs. The Sony broke down, the Dell is the slowest though it is the latest and has a unfriendly keyboard/mousepad layout, the 2 HPs I'm most happy with. One of the HPs I have been using for the last 5 years. By now I know HP is a quality company. That is why I purchased this camera and I'm happy with my decision.

I bought the second time this camera for my friends and I am very satisfied of the quality of the photos, specially the photos taken in the nighttime. A good camera for the best price.

I owned this camera for about a year. The only reason why I have to get a new one is because I carried it in my purse and broke the LCD screen.

Generally, I really liked this camera. It was quick and easy to use (hence carrying it in my purse) and it took pretty good pictures. I did have some blurry ones, but not too bad. Usually if I was in too much of a hurry.

The only drawbacks are that it takes lousy nighttime pictures (everything is dark) and it has a fairly slow shutter, so you have to wait for the camera to focus.

It's the first digital camera I owned, so I can't compare it to others at this point. I thought it was good for the money. (I paid about 90.00 from wal-mart)

I used rechargeable batteries, and usually didn't have to recharge them for weeks. I would use the camera several times a week. I did use it for an entire week when I first purchased it (for a trip to Vegas) and the rechargeables worked well the entire time.
