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 ...

Manufacturer's product description
Planning to snap photos at upcoming events, or just catch your family's and friends' daily activities? Consider the HP Photosmart M737. It's heavy on the megapixels (8) and zoom (24x total). You'll be able to clearly see your subjects and your photos on the 2.5" Auto-bright display, which automatically adjusts to lighting conditions to preserve the battery. Added bonus: once you've finished being a shutterbug, you can do cool things like "slimming" people's physiques and putting borders around your favorite shots.

Well I bought this printer about 12 months ago because I wanted a cheap, good quality HP printer with a card reader that could print good photos and documents, and that's what I got, a good sturdy printer. I'll just go through a few of the points about... more
The PhotoSmart C8180 is the most complete AIO I have had the pleasure to use. The CD/DVD burner is a stroke of genius; it makes an already compelling product groundbreaking. The moment I saw the drive in the printer I hoped it would work the way I... more
The HP Photosmart 8250 is the third printer I've bought, and it's definately the best.
While it's print quality isn't quite as good as some printers on the market, it's definately amoung the best for the price - I paid only £99 for mine!

Last week my old Hewlett Packard Printer died. I was not a happy bunny because I depend on my printer a lot. Not only were the cartridges costing a fortune, but the results were getting worse and worse, and even after cleaning the ink cartridge heads,... more
