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.

The zoom (3x optical zoom) is also very good for taking pictures that are in the distance whilst keeping the details of the image. It has a large screen (6.35cm) to view and take pictures which is very convenient. It looks good and you will not be embarassed to take pictures with this camera. It takes ... ...well as a feature called adaptive lighting which gives you a better picture depending on your surroundings. Also there is a feature to add frames to your photos and to save them in black & white and sepia. Brillant value for money! There is nothing i dislike about this camera ...
