Point, Click, Result !
Review of HP PhotoSmart R742 by
msdevilfish
Advantages: small, light, easy to use, fantastic battery life.
Disadvantages: Lens a little too close to the edge
I am in no way a professional photographer, indeed I am more a 'point, click and pray for the best' type photographer, but this camera has made my results much better than expected. I actually got this camera as a second choice after the one I wanted was out of stock but I'm very glad I did.
The best way to explain how easy it is to use is to tell you that my three year old daughter can work it. It is small and light and takes both photographs and ... ...quality settings I can get around 18 pictures before the memory is full but it is easily expandable using a memory card.
Another point I really like is the battery. Instead of carrying 8 spare AA batteries round with you at all times, there is just one battery which comes with its own charger...no battery costs ! I charged the battery at Christmas and it is still 3/4 full.
A small flick of a switch and you can view photographs and videos already ...

HP PhotoSmart M627
Review of HP PhotoSmart M627 by
Blondie1005
Advantages: Small, Easy to use, Good Range of features
Disadvantages: Picture Quality poor & no case with purchase
I had this camera now for about a year. Paid just over £100 for it. I absolutely love it apart from the picture quality. It's not the best I've seen. Especially when you want to take detailed pictures. I've been cataloguing bits & bobs for eBay and some of the items are small and very detailed. When trying to get a photo good enough to put up on eBay, it's virtually impossible. However if you are wanting to take "normal" photos i.e. holiday snaps ... ...simple & user friendly. If you are using standard AA batteries (not Lithium) you normally get a weeks worth of use from. My suggestion would to use rechargeable for those all important holiday snaps. One other draw back is that it doesn't come with a carry case. But with the size of it you can normally get a carry case for about £10.
Overall opinion it's a good camera but just be aware the picture quality isn't the best available for the money you ...

A Brilliant Brilliant Camera!
Review of HP PhotoSmart M637 by
andycharger
Advantages: Zoom and functionality, image quality, looks, option range.
Disadvantages: Screen not the biggest, cheaper cameras offering similar options in the market
...Im well versed in the HP range of products here at work with the servers, laptops, workstations,etc but was not sure about their camera range. After all, they are known for PCs and Printers Right? Leave the cameras to the photographic hotbeds of Kodak and Polaroid....Wrong. The HP camera range is superb and rivals anything put out by the other brands.
Lets look at my camera.....
LOOKS AND STYLING
Very sleek. With its rounded left hand upper corner ... ...in the HP range have all adopted this as standard. It feels good in the hand and very steady. It is finished in the popular brushed aluminium that many of today's popular cameras are seen in. The Flashlight Design looks very retro with its old fashioned looking bulb effect. The front of the camera where your right hand holds it has a great little "grip lip" so one hand operation is easier. This gives your shots better stability and gives you ease ...

Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd AMAZING!
Review of Fujifilm FinePix Z100FD by
Gemma1990
Advantages: Stunning photos, looks gorgeous, easy to use
Disadvantages: none :)
I got this camera a few months ago, and i absolutely love it!
Not only does it look amazing, but the quality of the pictures are stunning too.
The screen on the back is a really good size so you can see clearly what your pics are like.
The menu for choosing settings is easy to navigate, but there are so many different settings it takes a while to figure out which one you need!
This has to be my favourite camera I've ever had, it's small so it ...

Great camera for price!
Review of Medion MD 85060 by
Normankool
Advantages: Uber-Cool picture quality and focus skills
Disadvantages: Large file sizes
Amazing camera for price! Was bought for less than a hundred pounds but hugely outweighs the capabilities of my £400 camera! The way that it focuses so well each and every time is what I love about it. It produces large, crystal clear images and great videos with nice sound. Only downside is it uses Lithium rechargeable batteries but thats not really bad. Just means you have to remove battery to charge. The battery is the same used for a popular ... ...buy. With great pictures comes large file sizes so I would suggest getting atleast a 2gb SD card for it (which are very cheap to buy anyway- in some cases less than a tenna!) which will provide room for about 720 High-Quality pics. Overall, this is a great camera. If you are looking for anything less than a Profesional DSLR camera, this cannot in my opinion be beaten. I would not buy this as a "chuck about" camera as it has a large, vulnerable LCD ...
