Summary: Good Service to Go Along with a Good Camera
Review: I have a feeling that if A. Rodriguez had to replace his camera after almost 2 months, it probably means that there was something with HIS camera not the actual model. I have this camera and it works perfectly fine and I have no complaints. When the flash loads, it takes at the most 5 seconds to do so (and just when you take the first picture after turning on your camera, not at any other time) and when taking a picture, it takes 2 seconds do so at the regular setting. Just tonight I had a "problem" with this camera and I went to HP's support and troubleshooting at www.hp.com and they, true to their word, replied in an hour and helped solve the "problem" which turned out to not be a problem at all. He told me how to fix it by changing the ISO Speed, White Balance, and EV Compensation and everything was how it was supposed to be. I definently recommend this camera.

Summary: Bad quality in general
Review: I have been buying HP products since 1995; I bought through these years 4 printers, one Laptop and one desktop HP. So I thought that HP was a serious brand about quality, it is not the same with the cameras:
-The flash takes 30 second to be ready (that's a lot of time)
-The camera just take pictures when it thinks that the picture is good, it does not matter what you see on the screen, the camera has the final decision about the picture (very different than other cameras in the market).
-The pictures are grainy; you can't have a moon or a sunset picture without grain.
-You have to wait almost 5 seconds since you hit the shoot button and when the picture is taken, you can't take a picture of an object in movement.

But that is ok if you are looking for a cheap-bad camera, and the quality of your pictures is not an issue for you, like I was. But after one month and 14 days the screen went black with strange colours (of course the HP warranty cover this problem for just 3/4 of the price of the camera). I think the screen is not important anymore because anyway the camera take the final decision as HP.
