Digital-Camera Reviews

This product is a reliable memory card. And it's cheap. Why pay more for the same basic product?

Un cordial saludo.
Les cuento que compre mi cámara HP812 en Amazon.com, me funciono regularmente, y ahora resulta que tiene una falla en el lente y pregunto al centro autorizado de soporte HP en mi país y me indican que si pueden arreglar la camara con un mantenimiento normal, perfecto!. Sino perderé mi inversión, por que HP no tiene repuestos para sus cámaras digitales a nivel mundial. Esto me desconcierta, por que siempre había confiado en esta marca, tengo muchos productos de ellos, y ahora estoy a punto de perder muchos dólares por su culpa.

Les recomiendo revisar otras marcas que si tengan un verdadero servicio al cliente, esto no es servicio al cliente, es la comercialización de cámaras "desechables", las vas a tener que cambiar tu cámara en 1 o 2 años. Triste no? para una inversión de tanto dinero.

Saludos, espero que te sirva mi experiencia al momento de tomar tu decisión, ahora me tocará comprar mi 3 cámara (las dos anteriores fueron HP), pero seguro no será HP.

I take a lot of pictures! I have 30 or so picture albums on line on Webshots. These are by far the best pictures I've ever seen. When you enlarge the picture the details stay sharp and focused! It's light enough to keep in my shirt pocket. The zoom is outstanding. The docking station makes recharging and downloading a snap! I would like a car charger. I have not looked for one yet, but I'm sure there is one out there somewhere. This little puppy even makes big movies! It's a work-horse in a small package. It is very easy to learn how to use. I never even opened the manual that came with it. You will love this camera!

I looked at many brands including Sony and Canon. I liked the idea of having the docking station that I just plug the camera into and can view easily on my TV. It also uploads the pictures very easily and the software that comes with it works great. I can easily have it email the pictures automaticaly or have them displayed on a web page automaticaly. I can't wait to get my new HP printer to print off some pics.

I had actually bought a Sony camera for the same price and returned it to buy this one. The Sony was only 3.1mp and had only 2x optical and 3 way digital zoom. This has 3X optical and 7X digital zoom. The other big advantage for the same money is that this one captures sound when I take a movie clip and the Sony did not. I also found the memory cheaper with more choices than the Sony.

Overall I am thrilled with my choice.

Enjoy!!...

I too picked this model on the positive reviews. I bought it in May of 2003 along with an HP photo printer. In August 2003, a few days before my vacation, it just stopped working. HP tech support was excellent got another right out to me. Now April 2004, it did it again. It worked one day, batteries went dead, I charged them and can't get it to turn on again. Tech support was great another one is coming. However, my 1 year warranty is up in May and I am on my 3rd camera! They will give me 90 days on the 3rd one and that is it. I am going to have to buy their extended warranty program through HP because I fear in 3-6 months, it won't work again. I expressed my concern and I wanted to upgrade to a newer model and pay the difference. They don't have anything to offer for this one. Something is wrong with this series. On the other hand, the printer has been great.

I had originally bought a cheaper 1.2 MP camera to "just try out" digital photography. Once I decided that I liked it, I decided to upgrade to a camera with more zoom capability. We have 4 active kids and take a LOT of pictures. This particular camera had 3.3MP and a total of 12X zoom capabilities and was reasonably priced. I love this camera. It takes awesome pictures. The colors are vivid and works well even under low light conditions (like gymnasiums). Even the action shots come out crisp and clear and I couldn't be more pleased. If I ever decide to upgrade again, I would definitely purchase another HP product. They are competitively priced and the value is tremendous for your dollar.

Being completely new to digital photography, this is a great buy for beginners. The buttons and menus are easy to understand and 16MB is plenty of room for pictures. Even when taking lowest-quality pictures, they still look great. The user manual is quite simple and foolproof, HP software and the USB cable are working perfectly with my W98SE.
Video capturing worked just fine except the sound was a bit too quiet. Guess it's mostly meant for commenting on what you are currently recording.
For future customers: if you just got the camera and it won't start with regular alkaline batteries, just try the rechargeables. It will work fine after that with batteries as well, but looks like it needs rechargeables on the very first try.
