Don't waste your money

Used this camera for 2 months and it quit working. Don't bother calling HP they don't care.

Not to shabby.

I think one of the major things I disliked about the camera was its speed. When there is something important going on that I want to snap a quick photo of, it takes 10 seconds for the flash to load. Also, it eats through double A's. It is a relativly good camera for just like little still shots of your dog.

Cool cam!!!!!!

This camera is very tuff in a good way. Its taken lots of hits and spills and 3 drops NOT FROM ME. I'v taken it on 3 trips it's done well intill my friend droped it on a root it still works but the sliding door broke it's a very very good camera.(the screen didn't brake at all!)

It's very inexpensive

After reading through a lot of the reviews here I have to chime in. I have owned this model now for 2 years, having said that I have taken hundreds of pictures with it, many of these were very good and will be cherished. This is a great little camera for still photo's, let me repeat STILL photo's. It does a fantastic job of it, if you want to take photo's quickly (as in turn on and take a pic) forget it, it takes as long to turn on as Martha Stuart on dirty sheets. The flash recharge time isn't good so if you plan on taking several pics indoors in short order... forget it.
As I have put here it looks like a mixed bag of feelings, on the one hand I have kept it and used it for hundreds of photo's, on the other I have missed/deleted hundreds because of the slightest movement on my part or the slightest movement of the object. I'm a patient man but I have steadily grown to hate this camera over 2 years. I have always had a higher priority than buying a new camera. As I get older I would rather not put up with some things and this is one I chose to put up with no longer.

I hope this helps someone see it for what it is, fantastic for shooting stills, yet terrible for all around use. And please these cameras are horrific with standard batteries, use energizer e2 lithium you will see an difference beyond belief in the number of pics you can take (and they are lighter). IMHO

How can they sell a bad camera like this one?!

Fortunately this camera was a prize... not a penny wasted on it
I do not believe hot today can be sold a camera with fixed focus (maybe you think that with no focusing, your picture is taken just when you push the button - but that is not the case of this camera, that takes somewhat a second to shoot, even with no flash!!!), a sensor that seems to need a whole sun of ligth to produce a non grainy picture, an interface that because of it lack of buttons requires a lot of navigation even for simple and common adjusts. Not to mention its hungry of batteries, even alkaline or good NiMH ... is hp making batteries??? seems that they want to make money on bunchs of batteries sold to camera owners.
Please stay away of this camera, unless you want to have something that deserves your angry and a your hammer!
Pros: Lens cover.
Cons: Too many for this space!

Great camera, Happy customer

I took hundreds of pictures with this camera for my preschool. They were a better quality than some of the more expensive cameras that the parents took on our field trips. My only problem is that it would not use rechargeable batteries...hence 4 instead of 5 stars. Not a big deal. I'd buy it again.

GRRRREAT! AND FAST!

This camera is great! I ordered it the day before my birthday, it said it would come through May 20th-26th and it came the 19th! So woot! I can take over 500 pictures (it came with a memory card). The video is great, and the photos are great and clear. The only thing is the darn batteries! They run out too fast! But i have rechargeable batteries. I have trouble with uploading the videos, but i can learn!But so far, so good!

P.S. if you order it from amazon, i cannot guarantee that it will be nice and fresh, it depends who you order it from.

pansy

This is the wussiest camera I have ever used. I bought the year long warranty, which I highly recommend as I ended up breaking 4 of these cameras over 2 years. The shutter lens gets stuck constantly. If it gets just a little rain on it, it gets frazzled or dies. If you drop it, even from 3 or so feet, it's dead. If you are the kind of person who puts your camera in it's case in between every shot, and are vigilant about it's safety, then it's not a bad camera. But if you are even a little outdoorsy, or clumsy, and esp. if you're both, look at the olympus stylus 770 sw, or just don't buy this camera.

Point & Shoot Simplicity

HP Photosmart M425 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom is simplicity itself. All the basic functions are there in this lightweight, basic compact camera. The icons are easily understood and onboard graphic additions like frames can be fun. It doesn't seem to go through batteries as fast as other digital cameras I have. It's also super easy to transfer images and videos to my computer, with or without HP's Photosmart software (I actually prefer Google's freeware, PicasaII, to transfer and catalog images much more quickly).

I keep it in my purse, and often pull it out to snap something or to show off my pictures, clearly visible in the 1.7" digital screen, to friends and co-workers (hey, if I have to look at their kids and grandkids pics, then they have to ooooh and aaahhhh over my pretty pet portraits!).

The only gripe I have is having to reset the date with battery changes (in the few instances I actually wanted a date-stamp on my photos).

Does what it's intended to do

A nice, solid little camera that does everything it should. The software if comes with is clunky; if you have the Windows Digital Camera Wizard on your computer, it will be faster and more efficient than the HP software. But the focus is nice, the flash is good, the picture quality is more than acceptable, all for an affordable price. I might not take wedding pictures with it, but it's certainly a fine day-to-day camera.

Also, as mentioned in other reviews, buy rechargeable batteries--it burns through a pair of AA batteries in about a day of photographing. You'll also need to buy a memory card, but they're easily obtainable, and for $15 you'll have more storage than you could ever need.

decent first time camera

I got this camera as a gift and it eats batteries but it's not bad for a starter camera. It still takes great pictures. If you buy a memory card for it too it can hold a lot of photos. Not the best, but still pretty good.

still have this camera

I still use, it was my first digi camera bought it in 2003 or 2004? cant remember but it still works but not that good, dropped a few times. it uses lots of battery juice. Rechargables dont work long in it. I paid about [...] or so then. wowwww how things come down

WORST Camera

This camera was a gift. The first camera didn't seem to be formatted correctly so we took it back & got another one to replace it.

We had trouble from day one. It EATS batteries, I use rechargeable batteries. At first I thought something was wrong with the batteries so I purchased a different brand of rechargeable batteries, it didn't change a thing. I take 5 pictures & Camera tells me batteries are low & it won't process or perform after that. Clarity is a problem as well. I spent 5 hours on the phone with several Techs in India, what a joke!
SAVE YOUR MONEY & DO NOT WASTE IT ON THIS CAMERA!!!!
