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 ... Read review

Advantages: Takes good pictures
Disadvantages: Lacks an optical viewfinder

I have just bought a HP Camera. Its the Photosmart M737 model and finished in a lovely silver colour. The casing itself is hard plastic but also very lightweight to carry. One thing you will notice thats different is that it lacks an optical viewfinder. Therefore when you are framing pictures, you will need to rely on the bright, clear and very large 2.5 inch colour screen on the rear. It does have a finger lip on the front for steadying pictures ...
...strong carry strap. It takes 2 AA type batteries which means they dont recharge internally as a lot of modern cameras do. A set of batteries seem to last around 100 average type pictures. I do like the high range optical zoom that is able to focus in on very close objects as well as distant objects. The resolution does not seem to drop off. My husband has a similar camera with identical Megapixels (8 on both cameras) yet this seems to zoom much ... Read review

Advantages: Pocket Sized, Durable, Easy To Use
Disadvantages: Battery Life Not Very Long

I have owned my HP Photosmart M22 for over a year now, and it is the best digital camera i've had so far. It is easy to use with the slide open lens, and takes brilliant pictures. It also does video footage - this function is a good idea but the film doesn't come out too well if its dark. Taking the pictures from the camera to the PC is simple too, with just plugging the USB cable in and off you go. The only disadvantage i have found to be with ... Read review

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 ... Read review

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 ... Read review
