Summary: Horrible Pictures when compared to other cameras
Review: When I first viewed the pictures taken with this camera I thought they were pretty good. But when I started testing other cameras, even cameras below $300, I found the picture quality taken with this camera inferior to the others. Most pictures came out blurry and all lacked the detail that other cameras produce.Not a good camera to buy.

Summary: Good Pics... Lousy battery life... maybe mine's defective...
Review: The camera takes great pics, but for some reason I only get about 20 shots to a new set of batteries which it uses 4 AA's. I tried Rechargeable Alkalines and it only got about 4-5 shots... It's suppose to get 200 with the flash and 500 without so mine must be defective as I've only seen 1-2 reviews mentioning the short battery life... I wish other users would write a review here and tell me what kind of battery life they're getting... mine just might need warranty work... Otherwise, it's got the built in flash, tripod mount, decent storage, good software... the specs are great, just the battery annoyance is keeping me from giving it a high rating... I emailed HP and they never replied to my questions.

Summary: Simple, great pictures for web or TV
Review: I took this camera to Europe for two weeks, and it performed beautifully. Being able to delete unwanted photos make this a much better camera than the standard print film camera. The quality is good for web sites and viewing on TV.

Summary: This is a great entry level digital camera; it works well.
Review: I've had my c200 for a few days now and haven't really found anything wrong or have any regrets about buying it. If you plan on taking a lot of photos, you'll need the extra storage. I found the set-up very easy. The included software is really neat; there is a lot you can do with it. Transfer of the photos to my computer posed no problems whatsoever. Everything is included except an AC power adapter, which I definately recommend when you download pictures to your computer. There isn't a problem per se'. You just may want to preserve batteries, but really no big deal since the camera uses 4 AA batteries. The problem I encountered however is that no one seems to sell the AC adapter by itself. So I went on-line to HP's website and purchased it there; no problem. The thing is a bit expensive @ $50 but I think it's worth it. Perhaps a more generic AC adapter would work but I wasn't going to take the change and cook the camera. The next step up in a digital camera in my area would cost another $200. I'm happy with this one.

Summary: Easy to use camera with good output
Review: Image quality *** Performance **** Ease of use ***** Cost/Benefit ***** This camera has really easy operation and produce good pictures, battery life seems to be prety good too. Pictures are not as good as from Powershot A5 Zoom (which I own), but for web or TV use are good enough quality. Colors are for sure nice and sharpnes too. Some pictures I've took were actualy looking good even after printing on photopaper, but most of pictures showed a bit of color bleeding after printing. Seems like all three image modes has the same resolution of 75ppi(A5 Zoom produces 180ppi), which could be reason for decrease in print quality. Camera takes good pictures in the dark, flash seems to be strong enough for indoor shots without lights. Nice feature is option to set PAL or NTSC TV output. For the price and included 8MB CF card and software it's great deal.Display as viewfinder is worthles, it's jerky and slow. Only time to use display, is make sure, that settings in harder conditions produce good enough pictures. One thing you should watch out for, is messing with CF card into your computer if you use CF adapter or reader. Camera seems to be sensitive on content of CF card. It happend to me that camera wouldn't even formate CF card after I copied some files on the CF card using card adapter. Finaly I somehow deleted whole content of the CF card and formating worked again. If you use adapter, I suggest not to delete or copy any files (except for original dumps from prewious picture taking)using card adapter and computer, instead use deletion in camera menu after you copy all your pictures. If camera wouldn't read the CF card, delete all files from card (I suggest use del *.* in command line, be careful that you really deleting CF card and not your HDD ;-)) Than stick the card into camera again and formate it using cameras menu, then it should work again. I think that in this price level there is nothing better for now than this camera (only comparable product Olympus D340-R is hard to find in stock for this price and uses Smart Media, has lack of stitching software too). If you digital photo beginner or want camera for web with ocasional printing, go for this one. Strengths: price, easy to use, optional PAL output, good flash, baterry life, nice look Weaknesses: slight delay after pressing shooter button all the way down at once, sensitive on content of CF card, prints in general nothing special, jerky and slow display.

Summary: It's been a great camera!
Review: I bought this camera for Christmas in 1999, not sure whether or not I would like a digital camera. Since that time, I've taken more pictures than I ever have before. I've used it to take snapshots, pictures of my family for my web pages, Christmas cards, even with a tripod for a family picture, using the self-timer. Sure, now, there are newer cameras with better resolution and more features, and I would like to own one of those, also, but I can't see living without this. It's so easy to use, and it has stood the test of time.

Summary: Very fragile
Review: Nice camera, but a drop of about 2 feet [messed] up the electonics - really. Although camera was almost new, HP would not honor warranty as any drop, no matter how slight, was considered an accident.
