Amazon.com Product Description

With a sleek exterior and intuitive easy-to-use features, the 3.2-megapixel HP Photosmart M307 digital camera is small and light enough to take with you anywhere. The Photosmart M307 digital camera has an aluminum front and rubberized back and offers HPs Instant Share feature, which lets you preset the destination of individual images to either email or print directly as soon as the camera is connected to a PC or printer. It also features a 3x optical zoom, large 1.8-inch LCD, 16 MB of internal memory, and compatibility with Secure Digital memory cards.

Optics and Resolution
The Photosmart M307 has a 3.2-megapixel resolution for images up to 2048 x 1536 for print enlargements up to 11 x 17 inches. It also offers a 1280 x 960 (1MP) and 640 x 480 (VGA) pixel options. The autofocus 3x optical zoom lens (6-18mm; 40-111mm equivalent in 35mm photography) features a 5x digital zoom, for 15x total.

Movie and Audio Modes
In addition to capturing still images, the Photosmart M307 can also record video with sound that's limited only by the available memory (either internal or external memory card). Videos are captured at 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA) at 30 frames per second (fps). You can also make voice recordings of up to 60 seconds.

More Features
With a metallic finish, asymmetric body styling, signature curves and "wave-style" fingergrip, as well as clear and natural controls, this digital camera provides convenience and comfort. Its large 1.8-inch color LCD screen has a high 130-pixel resolution and can be easily viewed even in outdoor conditions. The fast-shot mode ensures that no photo opportunities go to waste, with a rapid shutter lag for capturing all the action.

Storage and Transfer
The internal 16 MB memory can store eight images at the Best 3-megapixel setting (with each image approximately 1.6 MB). The camera also has a memory card slot that accepts Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMedia (MMC) cards.

HP Instant Share
HP Instant Share makes sharing, printing, and saving digital photos easy. With 34 programmable e-mail destinations, the user is able to share digital images with individuals or address lists straight from the camera. When the digital camera is later connected to a computer, either directly or via the optional camera dock, thumbnails of the selected photos are automatically sent to the pre-selected destination without burdening the recipient with large file attachments. E-mail recipients see thumbnails of the images in the body of the e-mail message, as well as a link to the web page where they can easily view, print, save, and upload the photos to online albums.

Power and Size
The camera is powered by two AA batteries; two photo lithium AA batteries are included, but NiMH rechargeable batteries are recommended for their longer life while shooting. The Photosmart M307 measures 1.4 x 4.3 x 2.1 inches and weighs 4.8 ounces.

5 out of 5 stars Descent camera for the price!.......2006-08-31

As some already mentioned, battery life is not long, but with a couple of rechargeable batteries, you should be fine. After all, you will have a descent camera at a low price!

1 out of 5 stars TERRIBLE camera!.......2006-07-26

I wish I could give this camera NEGATIVE 10 stars!!!

The screen died on me after a few months of use. I did not drop it or anything--it just froze up and went black. It acted like it was taking a picture, but there was no picture. HP said it was a 'hardware' issue, so they sent me another one. A month after my year warranty was up (keep in mind that this replacement camera was NOT a year old, but my year warranty from my original purchase date was up), it happened again. Basically, both of these cameras did not last a year.

Plus, the camera EATS batteries, and the connection to the computer via USB sometimes wouldn't work, which I've read elsewhere this is a common problem with this camera.

DON'T BUY IT! Try a Canon instead. My sister swears by Canon and has not been disappointed. I should have listened to her, but I thought HP would be more compatible with my computer. Boy, I was WRONG!!!

5 out of 5 stars Starter Camera.......2006-06-16

This is my first digital camera. I dont know why everyone has been giving it such low ratings, I think it a really nice little camera for what I paid to get it.

All of the controls are pretty easy to figure out, it takes only about 30 minutes of screwing around to get it.

Im able to keep upwards of 700 photos or an hour and a half of video on the thing because Ive got a 1GB SD card though.

Batteries will work for a long time if you use better batteries.

There are defineately better cameras than this one, but they are higher priced. This is my first camera, and Ive taken alot of really nice photos sofar, and it has not given me trouble once in the months that I have been using it.

1 out of 5 stars Batteries fully charged, but NO flash!!!.......2006-05-02

This camera was a big disappointment. It is my first, and so far, only digital camera. My sister has a different brand camera and whenever we have family get-togethers, I have to have her email me the pictures or put them on a CD for me. I won't even bother to bring my own digital camera....the flash hardly ever goes off!!! I have tried different batteries...AA and rechargeable and it makes no difference. I am 100% sure the batteries are fully charged and the flash rarely goes off...even if I have it set to "Flash On"....And, like some other reviewers have said, the battery life does not last long and there is very little space on the camera itself for pictures. An SD card is a must, but I would not recommend this camera to my worst enemy. Sorry, but that has been my experience. On the few occasions that the flash actually DID go off, the pictures did come out great, though. Frustrating to use when you are about to take a great picture and NO flash. No fun.

1 out of 5 stars Skip this camera and buy another.......2006-03-20

I have had three of these cameras, and the first two were duds out of the box. I finally received a replacement from HP that lasted beyond the 90 days warranty. Now six months later, the replacement has quit working. I contacted HP, only to be told, "Sorry, you should have called during the warranty period." Perhaps they make some cameras that are better, but it would appear that after three cameras, I would at least get fortunate enough to get one to last longer than a few months. I will definitely be looking elsewhere for my next camera.

If you buy this camera and have good success, then good for you. If you haven't bought it, at least consider looking elsewhere. Also, read this review (http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2286), and note the "Final Words" section at the end.

Finally, the M307 cameras I have had were replacements for the original 635 model I had purchased. I did like that camera's overall image quality. Just too bad it didn't last past eight months, and the replacements less than that. My Nikon N65 SLR is still going strong, so I will await to get a digital SLR by Nikon.
