Strengths: Very compact and very cool digital camera.
Weaknesses: Do not include the wallet that can protect such a cool camera. I do not want it be broken.
Summary: This is the one that I love very much. It is very compact and you can even put it in one pocket. And also it come with the AC adapter that can be used to charge the battery. It is good because we do not need buy the battery any more. And also I like its manual focus function. I have not used a digital camera with manual focus. And also it comes with many useful software. And most important thing is the fantastic picture quality.

Strengths: This is an amazing camera. It's tiny, it's powerful, it's just great!
Weaknesses: None that I can think of.
Summary: This camera is just amazing. Its photos are beautiful and I can even print out 8.5 x 11 full page prints that look like they were professionally done. I highly recommend this camera to anyone. There's even 32 megs onboard. The Video feature of this camera is also great. I can take small video clips. Once I get a larger sized SD card (1 GB) I plan on making better use of this.

Strengths: quality images, easy to use menus
Weaknesses: minorly slow between pics
Summary: This camera is overall great. The picture on the lcd could stand to be a little bit better (before picture taken), but isn't bad, about average with other cameras. The pictures look great, and it is really easy to use. With the dock the camera rocks, w/o is still good. The menus and options are effective. It is minorly slow between pics (3-4 secs estimated) but not really that noticeable unless using special focus/shooting measures. Overall great cam.

Strengths: Crisp, sharp, great image quality. Easy control use/manipulation. Easy learning curve. Great size. Great price.
Weaknesses: Time lag between clicking button and photo being taken. Software learning. Difficult to take self-photos.
Summary: This camera is really quite exceptional. It is the perfect size, in that it is large enough to take one-handed pictures, and small enough to weigh very little and take up very little room. The pictures come out clean, crisp, and sharp. It has a very easy learning curve, since all of the controls are easily accessible and understandable. The instructions are very easy to understand, as well. The only problems I may have with it are that the time it takes to take a picture after pressing the button is quite long. When taking pictures of animals, if the bright red "flash is comming" light doesn't scare them away, the amount of time it takes for the picture to actually take will give them ample time to run. It is also quite blurry in very dark settings. Also, I haven't quite gotten the hang of using the picture software that is included (but you can always just use your own favorite software if needed). It is also hard to take self-photos, since the LCD doesn't swivel, and neither does the lens. Other than these minor problems, this camera is great for beginners, and for a price that outbeats most, if not all, competitors. I did not give it 5 stars, since this is my first digital camera, and my amount of comparison is limited.

Strengths: Great overall photo quality.
Intuitive menu system.
Long Battery Life
Weaknesses: No manual shutter speed setting.
Summary: Takes better pictures than other cameras in its class. Almost every image has correct exposure and focus. Exceptional image quality, four star compression useful for practically uncompressed pictures. Panorama mode works well, and really helps for taking good panoramas. The lack of shutter speed setting can be annoying in museums and such, but most people wouldn't know how to use it anyway.

Strengths: -Small Size, easy to use, Help menu built in, excellent picture quality, great price
Weaknesses: Relatively Small Screen, HP Software sucks
Summary: I have always wanted a digital camera. This camera is great for all photographers, from the ones who only take pictures occasionally, amateurs, and professionals. I enjoy the macro feature, which allows people to take close-up pictures. The picture quality turns out to be excellent with vibrant colors. The zoom is a little less than what I'm used to, but this is partially compensated by the great detail even when zoomed in. I like the built-in comprehensive help menu, and the tips for how to make pictures better. Although there are better cameras on the market, you will not find one for a better price than this. (Plus, bundle it to a printer for another $50 dollars off.)

Strengths: Very durable, sturdy casing; LCD is ultra-sharp; easy to navigate menus; comfortable, stable grip; extra long battery life.
Weaknesses: None
Summary: My 2nd HP camera. Fits comfortably in my hand. Very simple to use with lots of features if you want or point and shoot if you don't. 200 pictures out of a battery charge and it's lithium ion too. Docking station comes with an extra battery that can be charged and ready to go. Internal 32mb of memory comes in handy. Camera comes with its own ac/dc plug-in so you don't have to take the docking station with you on vacation.
I know I'm going to get lots of use from this camera!

Strengths: 5.1 mps, seems well made(I liked the stainless steel front cover), lots of good options(like the adaptive lighting) good layout of the controls, comes with a recharable battery and easy to use.
Weaknesses: slow image possesing(alot of waiting for the the computer to cetch up), not very many manual options and noticable grain to the images.
Summary: I already exchaged it for a canon S1 IS, manly for the image quality on the HP but I think I going to go for the canon A75 or A80 if the A85 was available that would be the one for me. other then the small weaknesses on the HP I would highly recommend it.

Strengths: compact easy to hold design
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: 2004-07-13 16:20:33 As with most of cameras in this class, I dont like that you have to hold the button down, then depress the button again to take the picture. By the time you do this, you missed the moment. I saw an expensive Nikom camera that didnt work that way.

 HP does have good warranty support, however pictur ... Strengths: Fast. Nice menus.
Weaknesses: Lens mechanism is weak and breaks easily. Pictures are not satisfactory; harsh with a cold quality to them. I have had a few digital and many film cameras and this one gives the worst color repro.
Summary: HP does have good warranty support, however pictures should have a warm and realistic quality to them. These, from the r707, are too mechanical and are easily spotted as being digital. For the money. I would strongly recommend something else. My samsung 210se 2 meg takes much better pictures and they sell for about 50 bucks.
