Advantages: Sooo Many Features Disadvantages: Battery problems
I was so scared to get this camera because I thought that I would never get used to it so I hung on to my HP 3.2 MP for such a long time until it died on me. I needed a new and dependable digital camera with more mega pixels. I decided to go with another HP because I was so familiar with my old HP 3.2 that I thought it couldn't be that much different.

This camera has 10 MP which at the time was a huge selling point but I have since learned that no normal person needs that many mega pixels.
You will have to get used to taking pictures ...

Performance is splendid with print quality being ...
