I own many digital cameras, but this HP product is great. I love the touch screen, easy to move around to the different features. The unit is very compact, and the clarity of the pictures is fantastic! There are no cameras out there with this type of feature pack, 12MP, touch screen that is 3"! I recommend this product to anyone that wants a great compact camera!

Bought this for the wife to carry along with her. I was very pleased with the performance of this camera. I did some side by side tests with my top notch Panasonic FZ35 bridge camera. Considering the FZ35 is a 10 in all comparisons, here are my thoughts on this HP360. Pictures are about an 8, lack a touch of saturation but can be tweaked in Picasa 3. The clarity of the pictures are a 9, very nice. The video is good and gets a 8 as nothing comes close to the FZ35 HD video but this cameras video is very good and has good sound and color. Focuses fairly quickly when zooming video. The features on this camera are extensive and work well such as smile detection. This camera suffers, as all inexpensive cameras do, in the area of low light without flash, very noisy but flash pictures are OK. This is meant to be a fun camera for spur of the moment shots, not for once in a lifetime shots. The touchscreen clears away a lot of button clutter and allows for a big bright clear 3" LCD screen. The menus are easy and laid out well within the touchscreen. I like this camera and think most others will also if used as a "fun" camera and not expecting DSLR results.Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 12.1MP Digital Camera with 18x POWER Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD
