Summary: Can't get started with you!
Review: I live in England and my daughter sent me this camera from California, in May. ... So far I have one image in the computer. ... Taking photos was fine - though the viewfinder is poor compared with my SLR. But they just would not load - nothing but error messages - Can't recognise the file type - Jpeg, for heaven's sake - and eventually, corrupted files. Meanwhile the batteries were flat, so bought a charger and batteries and a new card. With these I actually got a photo in the computer, Now I am looking for an AC adapter - hard to find over here. Apart from all the hassle, it looks like a nice camera, and I hope to use it some time. Negotiating the menus is a bit tricky - my fingers are too big for the little buttons. But it will go in my pocket, which my Canon won't. my rating is provisional - I haven't really used this camera.

Summary: very nice camera
Review: i was looking for a digital camera with at least 2 megapixels in a certain price range, and after careful consideration, i chose this one. its a great camera. one of the criticisms i've seen about this camera was the size: i don't find this a problem, and i've had camera with the opposite problem (elph lt, which was sometimes too small to put your hands around). It has some very nice features, including remote control, easy to use menus, usb extension for easy download onto your computer.with the 16mb memory that comes with it, you can take 28 pictures of really good quality. I'm still getting used to being able to look at the pictures right away and deleting them/etc. i highly recommend this camera!

Summary: HP 618 Beats expecations
Review: I went from a HP C30 to the HP 618. I am impressed. The body just fits my hand, the buttons/controls are readily available and easy to operate. The 3x zoom beat the others I was looking at hands down. The camera can easily be put into auto mode, then just point and click. Or, it has lots of manual settings to experiment with. The HP software isn't super great, but putting the camera into "USB Disk Drive' allows me to treat it as a removable disk - I Love It!! Good clear LCD, Just an all around great camera! Highly recommend!

Summary: I really didn't like this camera!!!
Review: I went to a great deal of trouble researching digital cameras before I selected this one and, by all rights, this camera should have been ideal. It has fabulously exciting features, is compact, easy to use, and uploads its photos to your computer with hardly any help from you at all. The problem??? ALL my photos shot on the automatic settings came out either VERY dark or overexposed and the instruction manual told me absolutely nothing about how to adjust the F-stop and/or white balance to overcome this problem. I am strictly a point-and-shoot photographer -- I have never taken a photo class and need a camera that will "do it all" for me on its automatic settings. If this is what you need, as well, DO NOT buy this camera. The pictures I took at my son's third birthday party, with my "wonderful" new camera, are all horrible and I cannot go back and do it again! I have returned this camera and gotten the Kodak DC4800. All my friends who have Kodaks are VERY happy and my sister-in-law, who got a Hewlett-Packard for Christmas, is also extremely disappointed with the quality of her photos. STAY AWAY FROM HEWLETT-PACKARD!!!

Summary: Nice bang for the buck here, but....
Review: I've had this camera for only a day and a half but already have a good feel of what this camera can and can't do. Pros: strong flash, accurate color, easy to use. photos were very pleasing, and the software that comes with the HP is easy to use and understand. Cons: a bit slow capturing the photo once the action button is depressed, making it difficult to catch an "action photo." also, importantly, the viewfinder is off-center!! it is aimed higher than the camera's eye actually sees. you have to use the LCD to aim correctly. If you can deal with the cons, i think the camera is actually a good purchase.

Summary: Great little camera.
Review: Just recently I purchased a Hewlett Packard C618 digital camera. Although I have not used a digital camera before I find that it is very easy to use, even for a retiree as I am. If you wish, you can just turn on the camera, point and shoot. The camera will take care of everything else, such as exposure, focus, flash, white balance to compensate for various light sources, advance to the next frame, etc., etc. It is really a great little camera that comes up with pictures that rival the pictures I have taken with my Pentax. The instruction book is detailed and covers just about everything you may want to know about the camera. It includes features that I will probably never use, but they exist nevertheless. The camera simulates a single lens reflex as closely as possible, and that includes the sounds of the shutter when taking a snapshot. There is also a quick start guide that gets you on the road quickly. I purchased the 48 meg memory chip, NiMH batteries with battery charger, and a camera case. All seem necessary, matter of fact, a spare set of batteries is probably a good idea. I'm also planning to purchase the AC power supply because you can spend a fair amount of time at the computer with the camera in operation when working with your images. Although minor in nature, the automated registration was a problem because the serial number on the camera did not match the number of digits required by the registration form. Also there is an automated camera software download that could become a problem, especially if one is working with brand new NiMH batteries. Initially these batteries seem to have a significantly reduced capacity until they have been recharged several times. Dead batteries during a download may become a problem. A quick call for help to HP solved both issues. All in all I'm very pleased with my purchase and I'm looking forward to using this camera extensively this summer.

Summary: Hp Digital Camera 618
Review: Ordered on Sunday - Recieved on Thursday afternoon - Taking pictures and had them on my computer that same day. Easy to use. Great camera for someone who is a novice photographer. I upgraded from a HP C30 and found the C618 to be leap years ahead of it. I felt there should have been a printed Instruction book sent with the C618 camera. The software package was more than I needed. However, the Photosmart SW requires many more steps than the previous SW that came with the C30. Recommend you consider purchasing rechargeable batteries.

Summary: Awesome Camera!
Review: Recently purchased this camera after returning the Kodak 3500. What a difference! The features,quality and construction are amazing. Took the camera on vacation to the beach and it performed beautifully. Brought back 70 Pictures and they were better than ever before! Took all of those pictures on the batteries that came with the camera. Comes with an excellent set of Photo Batteries from Energizer.I took a rechargeable set and never had to use them. Haven't been brave enough to try the camera on manual yet but I will. Took along My laptop so I had somewhere to unload the pics, which is a breeeze. Highly recommended camera!!
