HORRIBLE BATTERY USE.......2002-07-14

GOOD CAMERA TAKES PICS AS GOOD AS ANY OTHER 1.3 BUT IT HAS ONE SHORTCOMMING... BATTERIES DO NOT LAST AT ALL. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE THE COLOR LCD DISPLAY. YOU HAVE TO BRING A BOX OF BATTERIES IF YOU INTEND TO SHOOT MANY PICS

okay camera, wastes batteries.......2002-06-14

i got this camera about a year ago and it has been ok. the batteries ran out consistently but besides that, it is great

HP 215 Photosmart.......2001-12-23

I just bought this camera 2 days ago. I gave it 4 initially, but It's worth a 5. I am not what anyone would call a "technical" person & I was a bit daunted by this at the time of purchase (can I return it if I can't make it work?). However it took me little time (the instruction book is easy to read) to get the basics so I could at least take a picture and upload it. The included software was a snap to install and even stored my prints in an accessible location. Just a little playing with the PhotoImpression program and I was soon editing and sending pictures e-mail. Playing with the menu & a quick referance to the instructions now and then, and I had it doing what I wanted.
For those who need something they can point and shoot, this is a good choice.

Great product.......2001-07-14

I bought this camera because of its price, the zoom feature and the HP name. I haven't been disappointed. The pictures I've taken have been crisp and clear with great color. The "shutter" (do you still call it that if it's a digital camera? hmmm) speed has not been noticeably slow, especially if you're on fresh batteries. It was so simple to set up with my computer -- I use Windows 2000 -- and I really like the photo editing software they sent with it. I also noticed that the batteries wore out VERY quickly, but this is a problem for ALL digital cameras. Do yourself a favor and buy rechargable batteries, and this will not be an issue.

My Results............2001-07-01

Hi....bought my camera 3 months ago ---first the "Goods"....The camera takes excellent photos...indoors and out.I print up 8x10s and they come out great! The Flash is excellent...Photo's come out at the 20 ft. range! That was surprising for a lower end camera!The downloads are quick and great! Now the "Horribles" Battery consumption is terrible! Everytime you click a button on the camera----remember to turn it off right away!(Very Inconvient) Now....the "Bomb" !! HP Techs...are you listening?? What you see is NOT what you get with the Optical Viewfinder!! Have lost many a good shot --- chopped off heads etc. Haven't you designers ever heard of parellex correction for this camera?? Im sure its called that. I have to aim the camera upwards every time i take a shot to get the whole photo without cut-offs! My daughter's [price]dig. camera at least frames the subject properly! Very Inconvient! Now lets get to that Shutter! Too slow and unpredictable! The Smiles have disappeared... The dog has dropped his bone...the kid has took his hand out of the Pie....and that Lady at the beach has quit picking sand out of her bathing suit! All good shots lost because the Shutter hesitates! Lets hear it...HP..I know you can do a better Job!! Aren't these camera's tested?? The LCD Viewfinder is also terrible in daylight! So...People...if you can put up with the above...it is an excellent camera to have. Minus 2 stars for Optical Viewfinder and Shutter!
