Hewlett Packard Photosmart 315 Digital Camera

Pros: Is simple to use and takes decent photos.
Cons: If you want a telephoto lens or wide-angled lens, you have to spend additional bucks.

I have always had a thing about cameras, they capture the moment so to speak and turn it into still life forever. I remember getting a Kodak Brownie with a flashlight attachment and I have purchased an assortment of cameras, some excellent film shooters...

Pros: USB port, great for beginner, easy to use, great price, quality pictures.
Cons: No video outlets. No A/C adaptor.

Price $289.00

One of the cameras I found were the easiest of all for a beginner user, was this one the HP PhotoSmart. It gives really crisp color toned pictures.

This camera includes an 8MB CompactFlash card. There...

Pros: 2.1 Mexapixel resolution, 1.8" LCD, 2.5x digital zoom
Cons: 8 MB CompactFlash card inadequate, Case not included, Short battery life

Pricing

Last November, when I purchased my HP Photosmart 315, it retailed for about $300. You can probably find the 315xi for less than $250.

HP changed the software that your pc uses to talk to the camera and renamed...

Pros: Great pictures, compact to carry, easy to use.
Cons: Loves to eat Batteries!

I was given the responsibility at my job of finding a digital camera for the church where I work. They wanted an easy to use, compact, digital camera. They told me to get the best camera for my allotted $300.00 budget.

They all know that I...

Pros: huh? none now with a better camera out
Cons: lack of power? not enough for price

I’m probably going to sound either incredibly inept or stupid trying to review this digital camera, but I’ll give it my best shot (pun, get it?). I have always been electronically-challenged and therefore not a photography enthusiast. Guys just want to...

Pros: Standard double A batteries, picture quality, ease of operation
Cons: 2 .5x zoom, expensive compact flash memory, and a little pricey

This is a camera for sale at a reasonable price which does much of what the higher priced cameras do, and has a slight advantage when using HP Photo printers to publish the images. Resolution goes as high as 2.1 megapixels, and that is a significant...

Pros: Excellent feature content for the money, good quality pictures, user-friendly, USB port.
Cons: No standard A/C adapter, no video outputs

Not too long ago, I wrote a happy review of my previous digital camera, the Polaroid PDC-640. A fine little camera, it served its purpose. There were, however, issues that popped up after a while, namely so-so resolution (640x480). So, like the ...

Pros: Easy to use. Stylish.
Cons: Low resolution, no optical zoom, and eats batteries

The HP PhotoSmart was my first embarking into the world of digital photography. I've been meaning to try it for so long, but have been resisting because of the price. With HP entering the market, I have found a camera with the features I'm looking for...

Pros: Great Pictures
Cons: Battery Life

First off...please forgive me, I'm feeling a little rusty, because it's been a really long time. :)

I have been looking for several weeks now at digital cameras. I was having a really hard time trying to justify getting a digital camera,...

Pros: Affordable, user-friendly 2 megapixel camera with USB interface; uses common AA batteries.
Cons: No optical zoom; cannot store images in uncompressed format.

Updated March 20, 2001 - I've rewritten this review to make it better and (hopefully) more informative. I also created a web page with sample photos so you can judge the quality of this camera for yourself. The link is provided towards the...

Pros: Good starter digital camera
Cons: Slow to take a picture at times

I've taken about 1500 pictures on my PhotoSmart camera since I got it. I was hesitant at first to use it (I didn't really want to print my pictures out on my printer) but then I discovered services like Timelessphoto.com, which can professionally print...

Pros: Easy to use; Upgradable with compactflash cards; Great price.
Cons: Comes with small amount of memory (8mb); No built in rechargable batteries.

I bought this camera thru AOL (AOL sucks; my Father uses it) with one of their 4 easy payment plans. Most of the stuff on AOL is either too expensive or garbage. Every once in awhile they'll throw up an add for a digital camera and I'll check it out to...

Pros: 2.1 Megapixel, cheap, easy to use
Cons: Comes w/only 8MB flash, some photos blurred

There are so many digital cameras available today that when I decided I needed one it was hard to figure out where to begin. But I decided on the features I wanted in a digital camera and went with that. I think that other average consumers would also...

Pros: many features & good picture quality
Cons: digital zoom distorts pixels

The picture quality of this camera is comparable to a handheld shoot and snap 35mm camera in my opinion - just what I was looking for.

At 2.1 megapixels and on the 8 meg ram compact flash card, you'll get 10 pictures at the best setting (which...

Pros: Currently a good deal on a entry level digital camera
Cons: Camera can't adequately use large memory cards.

This is my second digital camera. The previous one was much worse in almost every respect. You can read my review at http://www.epinions.com/content_6461427332

It's a 2.1 Megapixel model, taking pictures at...
