good for the price.......2007-04-09

I received this with a missing usb cord and the wrong memory card.Thought to be broken. I was about to give up until I read the manual about its internal memory. It functions fantastic. Be sure to have jumbo maH in the aa rechargables, 5.2 mp is huge. My 1700 maH aa's do very good and it recharges the flash in no time, at least as quick as my a205 fujifilm (same batteries go figure). The extras really are good like "5mp best" and audio with simple vid recording. Great for price, and even better for free. go to hp for the memory module, it seems to be very finnicky even if following hp's guidelines on what this camera will take for external memory cards.
This one returned errors even with a correct card, but hp's correct card seems to be the best answer.

Not worth the money.......2007-03-25

I purchased this camera about a year ago. I've not had the problems with blurry photos that the other reviewers have had, the quality was great. Unfortunately, the batteries are depleted within minutes. If you buy this camera be prepared to have a lot of batteries onhand if you plan to take photos for any length of time.

We haven't used the camera for about two months and when we tried to use it today we found that it won't take pictures at all. It stays on as long as we're only reviewing photos or adjusting the settings but as soon as we try to take a photo the battery light flashes and the camera turns itself off. We put a fresh set of batteries in the camera and had only adjusted the settings and the screen flashed that the batteries were already depleted.

Let me start by saying I'm a huge HP fan. My PC is an old HP, both of my printers are HP (the 820C and the photosmart 7760), and my previous two digital cameras are HP. I can't tell you how disappointed I am with the M415. The pictures look great on the rear display, and even on the thumbnails as the images are being upload, but the horror and disappoint comes when you blow up the image to full screen - the bottom half of the picture is missing!
Let's put it this way, it might as well be missing. The bottom half of my pictures look like someone has cut it in half and replaced with a negative (you know, the 35mm film negatives)of part of the bottom half. The real trouble comes in that the problem is not consistant - I can take 20 pictures with no flaws, but the next 50 will be screwed up. I've missed wedding, graduation, vacation, and baby pictures with this camera.
Mind you, this is the second camera (the M415) HP has sent me, both with the same problem. HP still insists that they have never heard of the problem before (BTW, tech support is very polite, but very slow. Over 4 phone calls I was on hold 7 hours). The camera is too expensive for me replace after just 4 months - buyer beware.

Super camera for this price.......2006-07-16

I bought this camera 9 months ago and I've been very happy with it. Picture quality is superb. Never showed blurry pictures unless "shooting without flash in darker places". If you shoot without flash in dark places pictures will be blurry. It is not a flaw. This problem is related to "night shot" ability. You may choose others for more money. Movie quality is medium. Overall this is a perfect choice for leisure purposes.

Nice camera.......2006-04-20
