HP 612

Pros: HP 612 is a really easy digital camera and takes good pictures.

Cons: Lag time. Eats batteries. (same as all mid range digital cameras)

The Bottom Line: I spent a lot of time deciding on a digital camera, and I am very happy with HP 612.

Review: The HP 612 is a good family camera. It works as a point-and-shot for all the family tech idiots (which includes most of the population) but will do enough fancy stuff to keep the shutter savvy busy for a while. If you want to focus other than...

Pros: Easy to Use, Great LCD display, Nice photos

Cons: Battery Sucker, Delay between when you push button and picture is taken

The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart 612 is a great, compact, very easy-to-use digital camera with enough nice features to take real quality pictures.

Review: I bought this digital camera at Circuit City because I was setting up an on-line business and needed to have some decent photos of my product. It was one of the few affordable cameras that has both digital and optical zoom. In laymen's terms that...

Pros: Good resolution on pictures, easy to figure out how to take pictures and upload.

Cons: Shutter lag time is long, flash does not always work, focus doesn't always work.

The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend this camera because of the problems that I've had with mine. Do more research and get more for your money than you get with this product.

Review: I thought that buying a HP product would get me a very quality camera. I was wrong. The camera started out fine but after about two months it started randomly not working properly. The flash would not go off and the picture would be dark, or the...

Pros: Easy to use, relatively inexpensive to take quality photos

Cons: Poor shutter lag, bulky, battery hog

The Bottom Line: Decent quality images, easy to use, and good reliability at a reasonable price.

Review: I'm not cheap. I'll deny it to the bitter end. What I am is a realist. I do not see the need to spend more money on something than is necessary. Hence my purchase of the HP 612, a camera that does what I need, and fell neatly into my price range...

Pros: Great pics! Easy to use!

Cons: Eats batteries!

The Bottom Line: I would buy this for your first Digital camera. Easy to operate and good quality photos!

Pros: Ease of use, price, picture resolution not bad

Cons: Eats Ni-Cad batteries like crazy! Use Ni-MH.

The Bottom Line: Overall, this is a good choice for an entry-level digital camera.

Review: We've owned this digital camera for about six months now, and it's been a good entry-level unit for us nonprofessional photographers.

The 612's price was attractive because the retailer had specially bundled it at the time with purchase of...

Pros: multiple resolutions, decent picture quality, good price

Cons: battery life, easily turned on by accident, no case

Review: I've had this camera for a few years now, and am getting increasingly irritated at its biggest flaw: battery life. Its on/off button is very poorly placed and designed, as it easily gets bumped, turning on the camera while in backpacks, gearbags, or...

Pros: Easy to use, low price, good quality images

Cons: Eats battery, slow in all aspects, 72dpi JPEG, plastic casing

The Bottom Line: This camera delivers what you paid for. Average images and solid construction should makes this camera worthwhile.

Review: With digital cameras price go down, it is the best time to buy a digital camera as manufacturers are giving out rebates and bonus accessories. With so many digital cameras, which one is good?

That all depends on your needs. If you need a...

Pros: simple to operate, easy on the chequebook, decent quality pics, lightweight

Cons: poorly designed function index

The Bottom Line: A decent digital camera that possesses the features required to take decent 8 x 10 pictures.

Review: Decent mid priced digital camera. Easy to operate with the easy to use software that is included with the unit. Good quality pictures on the best setting(there are good, better and best settings);however, I have not tried using the other two...

Pros: The camera is easy to use. My five year old could do it.

Cons: HP calls the camera obsolete.

Review: Don't buy this camera. I had a problem with mine used only a few times (no longer under warranty). I was told by technical support that the camera was OBSOLETE and UNSERVICEABLE and then they tried to sell me a new camera. Check out the other brands...
