Summary: Excellent basic camera
Review: This camera is fantastic for anybody who is your average point and shoot photographer. If you aren't the type that usually uses the camera in the most basic way possible, this is a good camera for you. If you expect a lot out of your camera, look elsewhere.Pros:
- VERY easy to use. Easy to move pictures from the camera to the computer (you do not need any special s/w, it shows up just like an external hard drive.)
- Great price for the image quality. This gives you good bang for your buck.
- Good battery life. I took 160 pictures with 1 set of batteries, and still had a little juice left. Cons:
- Zoom is useless... it's very grainy. There are other products available that you can attach to this camera to do zooming.
- LCD is useless at night, or in a dark room.
- Default memory card is not big enough. 10 pictures is just not enough. If you get this camera, buy a bigger memory card. (I took 95 pictures with a 64Mb compact flash card.)

Summary: Easy to use
Review: This is my first digital camera and knowing nothing about how to work them I have to say after reading all the reviews on this I'm so glad I chose this one,I found it very easy to use and the pics I took came out great even the one of a rock in the river with water over it came out great.
I found even in very low light "my" pics still came out nice and clear,inside and outside shots.
The only thing I found confusing was unloading the pics to my pc but after awhile I did get them in,I don't think it's the user's guide,it's just me(not very good at that kind of stuff).
I gave this five stars because for someone that's real new to using the pc this is a really easy camera to use and the pics come out great.
I even use the LCD but do have an AC adaptor that came with mine and I would tell people to buy one if your like me and like to preview evey pic that you take.
Great camera and great price.

Summary: Love this camera
Review: I have had the HP 315 for about 2 months now and have taken many pictures with it. This is my second digital camera and I love it. It is very easy to use and takes great pictures. I did buy a 128MG Viking memory card so I can take more pictures. The 8MG that it came with was WAY too small! I was also disappointed that it did not come with a case or a power cord. The cord was quite expensive and I still haven't found a decent case for it and use a small sock to protect it from scratches. Now I'm looking to buy a photo quality printer and don't know which one to get.

Summary: Things you should know before you buy
Review: I have taken about 400 pictures with the HP315, and as far as clarity goes, they were very good. I have some reservations about the lense quality, distance pictures come out farther then the actual subject. Outdoor picture quality is excellent. Indoor quality is good with the exception of the flash just does not have enough punch to give you a properly lit picture. You have to enhance the brightness on your computer to get better clarity. You should invest in a flash card reader. Downloading pictures from the camera to the computer is a bulky project. Battery life is fantastic. I use the Eveready Lithium AA cells which come with the camera. I got over 300 pictures with one set of batteries. I don't use the view screen though, this will greatly decrease the life of the batteries. Overall, I am a bit disappointed with the few items I mentioned, and would advise anyone to look at the HP 215 model and save a hundred bucks and get pretty much the same camera features.

Summary: An unbeatable value
Review: For the price, this camera gets the prize. The quality of the images that it can produce rival cameras costing twice as much. It has very little delay from when you press the trigger to when the image is imprinted. The camera is very durable and very easy to use. The software that is included is ver simple. In fact, I recently upgraded my camera, but I still use the HP software.

Summary: poor purchase
Review: This product was a poor purchase, it's photo quality is fair but its durability is awful after about 3 weeks my view frame would not work and the batteries had to be replaced every couple of days. The response time for the image to actually show up on the screen was exceptionally long also.

Summary: Fun, fun, fun
Review: That's what I have to say about the 315, it's fun! I haven't used the zoom yet, but everything else has gone well. My pictures are very clear. I added a 32mg flashcard and can take 324 pictures on the low resolution setting. How about that? What a kick. I've heard complaints about battery burn up. Hmm, I've taken 400 pictures and I'm only on my second set of batteries, and they still show full charge. I know the LCD is supposed to burn them up. I don't use the LCD all the time, but I DO use it. I'm thinking this is one of the best things I've ever done for myself and my family. I bought one for my son too. We send pictures back and forth all the time. He's far away so this camera really brings us closer together. I've taken close-ups of desert tortoises and distant shots of raging rivers. Most of them come out well. I love this little camera.

Summary: An amazing piece of hardware!
Review: I brought my brother this camera for his job; he is a fashion stylist and he fell in love with it, the first time he used it on set! He said it was easy to use after just a couple of minutes with the instruction booklet he was taking pictures like a pro; zooming in on the details of his clothes and of the celebs in them! He loves the quality so much he no longer hires a photographer to be on set with him to grab the pictures for his portfolio that he does it himself and they look amazing! The clarity and photo quality is top notch and he even changes the background on the images and makes some truly inventive things. He raved about the camera so much that I went out and brought myself one and you know what? He was right! This is the best camera I have ever used!!

Summary: Great Product - Great Price
Review: At first I was a bit reluctant on buying this product. I decided to spend some hours looking for offers and I thought this camera to be the most convenient for me. Despite of the few negative comments I've read, I'm 100% satisfied with the performance of this digital camera. It's amazingly simple to operate - point and shoot say it all. Downloading the photos to a computer is fast (at least with a Pentium III 750MHZ + 261 MB in Ram) and so far I have nothing but compliments about this great product. It's worth spending a couple of hundred bucks to have an excellent camera at home.
