Advantages: well arranged buttons and simple zoom features Disadvantages: a little large for pocket size

The resolution may be quite small by many cameras these days, but 2.3 MP is pretty good enough for most peoples needs. there is also a 3 levels of picture quality that is very easy to change from 1 star up to 3 for best quality results.
there is a viewfinder you look through which doesnt actually match the picture you might get, but you can turn on the large screen for more accurate shots, but this feature does wear the batteries more, as does reviewing your pictures
Advantages: Nice camera with good features for the price Disadvantages: Serious durability issues, I would not buy it again
...few years are active (The HP support forum at forums1.itrc.hp.com has a really long thread about this camera, with many disappointed owners). My first one simply died, wouldn't turn on or anything. HP replaced that one. The replacement camera had a weird problem where you had to work the zoom in order to get it to begin focusing, but I could use it so I didn't haggle. Then, the big problem came: three colorbars on the screen, and no more working ... ...expired, and in this event, HP does absolutely nothing for you except offer to sell you a refurb. Knowing what I know now, I would not have bought my HP612 because they come from the factory with this wide-impacting (although time delayed onset) problem. No one expects to buy a digital camera and have it die two years later, all of my friends who have (other) digital cameras are happily taking pictures. I wish HP would do more to help us.

Advantages: It is small and takes really great pictures. Disadvantages: The batteries do not last long enough.
...know that I wanted an HP because I trust their products and have had good luck with them.
I lucked out and had the help of a good salesperson who knew what he was talking about.I always buy my electronic equipment at Comp-USA, so this is where I decided to buy my camera.
The salesperson helped me to decide which one would be a good camera, plus not break my budget. The information that came with this camera was extremely helpful. I chose this camera ... ...and the price of 259.00 was too good to be true. If I can use this camera, anyone can.
It comes with the cable you need to transfer pictures to your computer plus the software for your computer.I like the image display window, you can see the picture as you take it. You can also
press the control dial and scroll through your pictures.You can view them one at a time or see all your prints thumbnail size.With this control dial you can also delete ...

Advantages: high quality pictures Disadvantages: very high battery usage
found this camera to be easy to use though the instruction booklet could be a little overwhelming for a novice user. the high quality of the pictures was good even suprisingly when set at low resoulution. this has the disadvantage of needing a memory card if you wish to take more than 7 pictures when the camera is set at its highest resoulution but it will quite comfatably take 100 + pics on its lowest setting. it has a auto focus zoom lens plus ... ...lcd screen does not do any of your photos justice. has the feature to print out direct from the camera with any compatible printer without the need for a pc. the biggest dissapointment however is the battery usage. tried rechargables and duracel as well as other brands and got on average 35 pics using the flash on all of them before they where flat. all said and done not a bad camera for the price. i got mine for £50.00 from a major office supply ...
