boxerlover's Full Review: Hewlett Packard HP Photosmart M425 Digital Camera ...
I bought this camera as a replacement to another hp digital camera that I actually dropped and broke. I wanted a small, compact camera, which this one is, and I wanted it for a reasonable price...which this one was! I paid $80.00 on line for my hp M425 camera, which is an outstanding price! I love the fact that it is small, and I can take it everywhere. I also think that the picture quality is wonderful as well. This camera only has 3x optical zoom though, so if you are looking for something that is going to take great close ups, and super macros, this isn't the camera for that. Another fault this camera has is that there is no view finder. You have to use the screen to see what you are shooting at. That isn't too bad, but the screen turns off pretty quickly, so I really wish they would have included a view finder. On a good note though, for being only a five mega pixel camera, it really takes nice shots! This camera also has a lot of nice features. You can set the picture mode to day, night, landscape, portrait, macro, and it even has a built in timer. There is also a design gallery on the camera, and you can add borders around your photos right on the camera. This camera is also user friendly. Very simple to get it ready when you first get it home. All you do is pop in a couple batteries, and a memory card, and you are good to go. The camera also has the ability to take video. I used this feature quite a bit in the past, and now the speaker isn't working correctly anymore. When I shoot video on it, the sound is very deep and drawn out, as if you are listening to an old cassette tape on something that has dying batteries. Other then that, the recording quality is very good too. I would recommend this camera for anyone who wants to take simple photos. It's compact, price is right, and user friendly!
