Hewlett Packard Photosmart 215 Digital Camera

Pros: Inexpensive digital camera, great quality at high resolution
Cons: Only comes with 4MB CF, extremely short battery life.

Resolution and Zoom
The Hewlett Packard Photosmart 215 (also known as the C8890A) is a very inexpensive digital camera that shoots quality photos at its "Super fine" resolution setting. It comes with a 4MB compact flash memory card that will...

Pros: It's cheap. It's simple to use. Performance/Price ratio is, in the end, high.
Cons: Photo quality is not great. Eats batteries like piranhas eat wounded cattle.

If you don’t have a digital camera and you get a digital camera from someone as a gift, of course you’ll be happy because these things are cool and expensive, right?

Wrong. There are really cheap digital cameras out there; in fact the...

Pros: easy to use, for the basic user, a good starter digicam
Cons: poor resolution, short battery life, small memory capacity, limited features

I bought this digital camera only because I got a great deal for it. I knew I shouldn't expect a great camera since it was 1.3 megapixels and had only 2x zoom.

The camera has a 1.5" LCD screen, two buttons (power on/off and playback view)...

Pros: LCD display, simple to use
Cons: Low LCD Frame rate, lack of picture adjustment settings

I've had this camera for quite some time now (1.3 years), and was shocked to find that just within the past month I've taken 500 pictures. Now, hold on! Are you saying that in about 25 days I have depressed that little button on top for 500 times? ...

Pros: Great starter digital, awesome pics, price, able to view pics after taking.
Cons: Eats batteries and sometimes slow to "warm up".

I am an addict of two websites, you are on one of them right now and my other addiction is ebay, which eventually necessitated the purchase of a digital camera since I had run out of things to sell that would fit on my scanner. This is the third try with...

Pros: Really inexpensive, USB connection
Cons: Only 4 MB CF card included, eats through batteries like there's no tomorrow

I’m a guy with many different hobbies and such, and I finally decided to get a digital camera so that I could post some pictures to the Internet and easily add them to documents. My criteria were not to necessarily get the best picture quality...

Pros: The price
Cons: Grainy shots, poor focusing, poor use of auto-flash features. You get what you pay for.

The sheer idea of owning a digital camera was one held by myself in high regard. I never wanted to drop the cash to pick one up however. Well about 4 months ago I was wandering around my local “screw you over with high prices” mega computer store...

Pros: Purchase price
Cons: Problems with memory card...TWICE!

Being known as a "computer geek" and having a love for photography, I've always wondered what took me so long to think about purchasing a digital camera. Think about it...no film to purchase, no midnight runs to Wal-Mart to drop off endless rolls of...

Pros: Nice starter, low price.
Cons: Extremely short battery life, some connection errors to PC, small CF card included.

I occasionally sell stuff on eBay and like to post images of my items to cut down on email queries. I used a webcam for a long time with marginal results: the images were small, rather clear and loaded quickly. But this is not what webcams were really...

Pros: Cheap, Simple, megapixel, easy battery load, LCD. Prefers still subjects
Cons: Drains batteries, no auto shutoff, lens not protected, NO MAC Support EVER !

Well as most digital cameras go this one also compromises on many areas in design and could be a perfect camera except for some flaws that really start to drive you insane after a while.

Price: Wow cant beat 139.00 for a mega pixel HP brand...

Pros: Very good picture quality, extremely easy to use.
Cons: Horrible battery life, 4mb memory card, intermittent flash trouble.

If you want good picture quality but have little cash to shell out for a digital camera, you might consider taking a look at this one. This is the camera for someone who just wants pictures for memories and is not into professional editing.

...

Pros: Easy to use, cheap, flash, decent image quality
Cons: High battery turnaround, no zoom, cannot connect directly to Macs

Okay, first of all, I know there's already a ton of reviews for this camera. I have a few remarks that are new though, so bear with me:

First off, I got this camera as a gift from my wife who's co-worker's father-in-law found it in the back...

Pros: cheap, hard to screw up, easy to use jog dial for simple menus
Cons: Reverts to defaults every power-down, poor quality in less-than-optimal lighting

An excellent starter camera for a relatively low price. I bought mine used from a friend. Simple to use, great quality in well-lit areas. I have a 32 MB card and I love than I can just change it to low res (640x480) and take hundreds of pictures before ...

Pros: inexpensive, easy to use, durable, great tech support
Cons: drains batteries like you wouldn't believe, very slow to take pictures

We bought this camera because the price was right and we didn't know any better. It was very easy to install and learn how to use. It is also pretty durable and could withstand being handled by a two year old, and when I was having a problem with the...

Pros: Easy Software Install, Takes Good Pics, Good Menu System
Cons: Bad Software But Good For Uploading, Takes Pics Slowy, Needs Larger Flash Card, Tricky Shutter

This camera is my first real good digital camera. I used to have a camera which was called the "Jamcam" that did not amount to anything. The images were as bad as a webcam from 1999 lol. This camera is so much fun to use! I could not stop taking so many ...
