Rating: Summary: Nice for the price Review: I own several cameras and had been casually looking at digital cameras for some time. My sense was that they are all much too expensive for their performance and that anything on the market today will be obsolete in a month. I picked up this camera as a close-out floor model for a very, very low price--- less than a quarter of list. I have found it to be a nice, convenient email photo camera with simple, easy-to-master controls. It's great for all those casual photos I don't want to spend a lot of effort or any money on. Limitations: slow action, LCD very hard to see in sunlight, and closeups are pretty much impossible, which was the biggest disappointment but not a huge surprise. I am very pleased with the camera at the price I paid, but I will stick with my Nikon SLR for quality shots. Judging from the reviews I have seen of even very high end digital cameras, the technology has quite a ways to go before I'm willing to invest much money in it.
Rating: Summary: Not a pleasant digital camera experience. Review: I purchased this camera as a gift for my husband and haven't successfully made and downloaded any pics in the 2 years we've owned it. We did not receive responsive product support, couldn't integrate it with our pc and spent money on flash cards to no avail. Simply, without product support this has been a little silver dustcatcher. I've used the Sony Mavica FD-something or other and despite the substantial cost difference, it has been the better bargain due to capacity, versatility and price of floppies cf. to flash cards. A disappointing experience from a company which was once found to be excellent.
Rating: Summary: HP 120 Digital Camera is a poor camera a high price Review: I purchased this camera recently. We had an expensive digital camera that flaked and died. The HP120 was purchased as a replacement simply to take pictures of items to put [online]. This camera is worthless for this purpose. Photos do not just turn out blurred and grainy, they turn out unrecognizable. Items over 6 feet away photograph adequately. Anything within 4 feet, however, is useless.
Rating: Summary: Good for beginners Review: I spent around $50 on this camera & it served it's purpose. It takes nice pictures in the right light & the camera software is nice too. If you just take pictures for fun, you'll enjoy this camera. There is also a small movie option, no sound & it runs about 30 seconds I think. When I tried to send this to family & friends, all I did was drag the movie file (in the uploaded software) into my outlook express... that is the easiest way I found it worked.
Here are some pictures that I took with the camera :O)

Although, it does have some downsides:
*Eats up batteries
*Doesn't take very good close ups
*There is a long delay after you push the button for your picture, Takes some work to make a toddler stand still long enough.
*And, you can only get about 9 to 14 quality pictures before you have to upload & empty to take more pictures again.
I just bought a new camera & I'll be selling mine on here soon at a cheap price, if you are interested, email me at hiltonqueen@iwon.com
Thanks
Rating: Summary: Great camera for the price Review: I'm an experienced digital photographer with a Nikon 990 for my personal use. I bought two of these for my grandgirls and was amazed at the quality and ease of use.1 megapixel quality is quite good for prints up to 5x7, and are great for monitor viewing and email. The camera is easy to use, the only problem the 10 year old had was accidentally pressing the "quick time record" button instead of the shutter release. Easy to do since they are close to each other. It doesn't have optical zoom, but hey it cost a hundred bucks. I added 10 meg of flash card memory which was a nice addition, particularly since I use a flash card reader. The included software seemed ok, with editing capability email sizing and easy install and photo downloading.
Rating: Summary: Great Camera Try it,and you'll buy it Review: In South Africa with the exchange rate against the Dollar being almost 10 to 1 electronics can be very expensive especially digital cameras. When I saw the PS120 I was drawn to all the features and price. The Mac software is good but does not work on 9.2.2. and the HP web site has no updates, I use Mac OSX software instead (pretty cool). For starters it's a fun camera I take pics of everything and then burn VCD's with VCD BUILDER Software (freeware MAC OSX) and watch the slideshow on TV through my DVD Player . Fantastic. For an entry level camera you have all the features lcd,usb 2.0,flash and major storage 120megs CF.
Rating: Summary: HP PS120 1.0MP Digital Camera Review Review: Including a lens cap would have been useful. It is very easy to scratch the exposed lens surface. The LCD is weak but the camera makes decent pictures. I bought it for my son's second digital camera (he was six at the time) and he loves it. Now we need a CF card to hold more images between shooting and downloading.
Rating: Summary: it rules Review: muahahha, i got this camera as a gift, and it rules.its nice, quick and easy and fun, and the batteries dont die down fast.i recommend it =D
Rating: Summary: My experience with this camera... Review: The camera if held absolutely *still* can take a decent picture, but close ups, forget it. This is not a 'close-up-loving' digital. The flash washes out many pictures. It is VERY slow to take pictures. It has about a 5 second delay between pictures taken without a flash, and a 20 to 30 second delay between pictures taken with the flash. It sucks battery power like mad if you take any video (no sound) with it. The videos are extremly grain and small. If you want a camera to play around with, to drag everywhere you go, like i do, then this isn't too bad, but it's slowness is fustrating. I use normal rechargable batteries in mine because I don't care if it fries it. The LCD screen is hard to see at times. My advice?: if someone gives it to you or you get a good deal on one and are desparate, take it. Otherwise, save your money and buy something that can take a close up, doesn't suck battery power like air, doesn't wash out your subject with the flash, and doesn't take a millenium to set back up again between shots. The fustration level at missing pix over and over again gets old fast.
Rating: Summary: Easy to use ! Reasonable price! Review: The camera is really easy to use, light weight and the resolution is not bad for a 1MP camera. The price is reasonable, a good deal for such a piece of equipment. The internal memory is not big enough to store a number of images I needed, so I needed to buy a 64MB flash card. After that, it was possible to fully utilize the potential of the camera: take pictures with the best resolution."Lastly, if you plan on using your digital camera on a long weekend or week long vacation, you will definitely need to consider purchasing a larger flash card."
