GREAT CAMERA, BUT SOME ISSUES.......2002-03-23

This is the easiest camera to work with. It takes pretty great photos, and the software that comes with it walks you through the unloading of photos to your computer for e-mail, etc.
However, there are some problems:
1. Red eye reduction - Even though the camera has a "red-eye reduction function" red eye still prevails.
2. Not compatible with AOL 7.0 - When sending photos e-mail, I have to send them through my hotmail.com e-mail because the camera isn't compatible with AOL 7.0, a problem that was confirmed when I called HP.
3. Batteries - My batteries didn't last a day!! This camera DEVOURS batteries. I have the adapter, but can't use outside of the house!
4. Screen - Is hard to see in bright light, and sometimes, not so bright light.

Other than these issues, I really like this camera. It's my first digital. I will however, probably purchase a better one in the future.

Simply Amazing!.......2002-02-23

This camera was a very pleasant surprise. My wife and I were digital skeptics until we saw the quality and ease of this unit. ONE PROBLEM, that all the cameras have is that they eat batteries for breakfast!
Some notes on the reviews I've seen:
1. I'm using it with Windows 98 SE and have had no problems whatsoever. Regular Windows 98 is almost as bad as Windows XP in its hostility to peripherals;
2. You really shouldn't use any digital camera in bright sun, for instance, at the beach. It's bad for the LCD screen, which you won't be able to see anyway, and;
3. The Red Eye Reduction feature works if you follow the instructions and some basic camera rules. Namely, DON'T have your subjects look directly into the camera.

very simple camera to use that gives a good quality photo

entire operation is intuitive
small and light enough to carry fulltime
quick easy transfer of images to your computer.
good battery life

biggest drawback is the on-camera image review; grainy image that is totally unuseable in bright light

Big mistake.......2002-02-08

I found out the hard way that this camera is not always compatable with Windows 98. The "unload" feature did not work well and when it finally started to perform the "automatic unload" to the computer, my system was blown. The system was totally crashed and had to be sent off for repair...hopefully they can repair it. During my website search at HP, I found that sometimes this camera has problems with Windows 98...so BEWARE!!

Easy To USe.......2002-02-01

I had ordered a Fuji(1.3) before this & was very discouraged.It was hard to understand and the quality of pictures I took weren't good at all.So I returned it,thinking maybe all lower priced Digital cameras were like that.But,then I saw the HP 318 with 2.3 megapixels,Decided to try it. I am glad I did.It is an easy Point&shoot camera.When I loaded them onto my computer,I could not believe the quality of the pictures.I highly recommend this camera,for its price,easiness to use and picture quality.
