Very Bad Choice

I bought it 2 years ago for only 99 Euros. The LCD screen was suddenly broken from inside, it was replaced by HP. Then the battery life in the replaced one became very short; HP had to replace it again. Now the LCD is broken again in the third camera...

Good price at the time I bought it

Dark photos, fragile LCD, short battery life ; waste of money

I used to recommend HP.....but I will not anymore

I am so disappointed in this camera. The picture quality is good at best, if you don't miss your shot waiting on the camera to actually take the shot. I can press the button and easily two seconds go by before it actually does something. I have two ...

Cheap. It was free for me, as a gift. An affordable camera

Batteries go fast, your shots are gone before the camera actually takes the shot

Great photos, but at a price.

I have had my Photosmart camera for about two years now and I have been amazed by the quality of product from a reasonably priced camera. The zoom lens and flash is excellent and the software gives good quality images. However, there is a frustrating ...

Quality images, good lens, nice feel to the camera

Battery cost, camera/computer interface needs improving

It's a nice camera. Good camera... Camera get's a treat!

I came from a day & age when a camera’s biggest distinction was between 35mm and 110mm film cartages, fixed focal lengths and “zoom” was you moving closer to your subject. Well, not all that is true, but even my digital cameras were pretty ...

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Not a good choice, very poor battery life, red-eye in flash pictures

The HP M307 digital camera looked very promising. It had a nice compact size, the controls were laid out very well and I liked the fact that it used standard AA batteries rather than a proprietary battery pack. My enthusiasm began to wane as soon as I ...

Intuitive operation. Buttons laid out nicely. Convenient size

Terrible battery life. Poor audio quality in movies
