I got this camera for personal use after using an expensive professional HP at work for years. I love the brand and HP is true to its reputation for quality. Even to the low 2MP the image quality is good. The only drawback was taking pictures at night. However, I found that if you play around with the settings, you can still get very good shots at night time. The built-in desgin gallery borders option is a bit over-rated, but the crop, red-eye removal features are great. Overall, I feel this camera is an excellent buy for the money!

This is a great product. I bought it for my mom. She wanted something small and simple. She loves this camera. It takes quality pictures and is very easy to use.

Honest discription, fast shipping, great camera. Was surprised how nice it was - GREAT DEALER you can trust.

I wanted an inexpensive point and shoot. I had a few requirements: No moving lens (seen too many with dirt-jammed mechanisms), Charge from mini-USB (like my cell phone; I have chargers in my cars, at home, at work) good viewfinder, and use large SD cards. This one wins on all counts. I've taken over a thousand pics and 30+ minutes of video now. I was not too sure how the viewfinder screen would work, but it is bright enough to use outside in sunlight. I haven't run out of power yet. I like the way switching from optical to digital zoom works: When you press the button, it zooms (by steps) to max optical zoom, then you need to take your finger off the button and press it again for digital zoom. Since I rarely want to use digital zoom this is a nice feature for me. Get one while you can!

The price was terrific on this item, plus, an extra bonus---free shipping. I'm not qualified at this time to give a complete review, as I've yet to print out pictures or download onto my computer. I plan on doing that soon. I think the image quality is good and I like its image- enhancing features. As a first time owner, I believe digital cameras definitely have their own niche; however, I'm beginning to realize film cameras should never become obsolete; I believe, in the end, they produce better quality pictures. I imagine, too, in the final analysis, price plays a big role. I am happy with the camera and have no regrets about purchasing it. In fact, I'm having a great time filling up my memory card with images of my avacado tree in bloom (pretty good for living in a temperate climate), and my flower and berry gardens as they grow.
