What a deal!

This is a great camera. I looked at many different cameras Sony, Canons and the rest of the usual suspects. Then a saw an ad for this and I had to check it out. The features truly set this camera apart form all others. Not to mention that you are really getting a 5.1 mega pixel camera for the price of a 3 or 4. I bought the optional docking station and it was well worth the extra $60.00 CAN. With it you can easily view pictures on your TV and that is where you can see how great these shot really are. The handy remote for the docking station takes your camera to the next level of cool. The soft ware that is with the camera makes sharing your pictures really easy. HP hosts your pictures on a site where they are stored for 30 days for anyone you want to see them. This saves people from having to download all the pictures (which with this resolution can take a while). While there is a bit of shutter lag, it can be sped up with a change to the settings. The menu is very easy to use and even if you just want to point and shoot it can't go wrong with this unit. You could compare this to other makes and models but there is nothing for this price that even comes close. Did I mention the zoom is 3x optical and 8x digital and clear as a bell.
