Summary: Love this Camera!
Review: I've just purchased this camera and I love it! It takes me back to my 35mm SLR days. It is not a light-weight camera, but feels solid. Lots of features and beautiful prints. The shutter speed is a bit slow so you'll need a steady hand or tripod. But for the price and all of the extras it is excellent. I also purchased the docking station and it works like a breeze. I have an XP operating system and was able to set up in a matter of minutes.

Summary: It died !
Review: Just received the HP 945. It took 8 great pictures and then locked up, cannot shut it off. I am deciding whether to return it, or have HP replace it. Probably return it, this is the first AND last HP camera I will own.

Summary: Mixed Bag - Works Than Locks - Not to used with Win2000
Review: My new HP 945 arrived two weeks ago as a replacement for a HP 315. New camera worked nice but battery charging seemed to go on and on even after just couple of pictures. Started me to wonder. Pictures were fine and the learning curve was easy. AS I needed a bigger card I went ahead and purchased a 256 MG SD card after checking with HP Support. Now the strange problems start -- the camera would lock up and only unlock if batteries were removed. Pictures taken seem OK but sometimes it would say it couldn't read the 256 Mg Secure Digital Card. Then once it was rebooted it would record pictures and upload to the computer. Finally today it locked up again so I called and they want it returned for repair - as usual good service they even pay the courier. The HP rep however told me that loading pictures from a 256 MG card to a Win 2000 Operating System may not work and that I might need to get a card reader. Whoa this is getting really off base - camera goes down within two weeks and a 256 MG card may not work with my Win 2000. This is starting to get me a little upset. No mention by anyone in reviews or on the HP Support site about Win 2000 issues with this camera and 256 MG card. I have their email saying the camera will handle 256 MG; but how am I'm going to get some assurance about it always working with Win 2000. There are some issues here and I want to get at the answers.

Summary: 100% Digital Now...No More Film For Me!
Review: OK, I sat here and read every review (25) about this camera. I had owned the HP Photosmart 850 previously and I decided to upgrade, albeit slightly to the 945xi. I have a website on the internet where the reader can view some photos from this camera. It's http://echotekjh.sonographer.net I have been thoroughly pleased with this camera and it's abilities. I purchased a TIFFEN adapter from BugEyeDigital.com as well as some additonal lenses to augment my photo shoots. I recommend buying the Tiffen HP adapter along with a .5x wide angle lens and a 2x telephoto lens. You might want to pick up a circular polarizer too. The last two items to complete your digital photography are the HP Photosmart 145 Photo Printer 4X6 prints and a Velbon MAXi 343E tripod. We travelled up to Acadia Nat'l Park in Maine back in July (http://www.geocities.com/echotek/acadia_barharbor.html) and this camera performed beautifully with handhold shots as well as tripod photos. I use a Sandisk 1.0GB SD card that gets me about 385 photos at the highest resolution.

Summary: hp945 review
Review: The HP945 is an exceptional digital camera. I am able to zoom in on wildlife at long distances. I have taken some incredible pictures of nesting eagles. This camera is very user friendly and downloading to a computer is a snap. Pictures can be blown up without losing resolution. I have taken pictures that compare with any 35mm camera. I have recieved many compliments on the wildlife pictures I have taken. I would recommend this camera to anyone wanting a great digital camera.

Summary: Great digital SLR
Review: This camera is a great value. It has the best battery life of any that ive used that took normal batteries. It does a great job at taking detail shots, and it was very easy to figure out the controls. The veiwfinder is really cool too. Turns on when you bring your eye close, again saving battery life. Good optical Zoom as well.

Summary: Very nice macros
Review: This camera would make a great off-the-shelf camera for e-bay photography. I have a Sony DSC-V1, a Canon A-80, and this HP 945, and the HP does the best job of focusing in on small details. It also has nice white balance and good depth of field in Portrait mode. All things considered, I find myself reaching for this camera most often.

Summary: What a zoom!
Review: This is my second digital and I love it. I print out on my Hp 7660 printer and the shots are excellent. Clear and sharp. The zoom is increditable. I can zoom in on a license plate from over 100 feet away and read it after it's printed. I've taking shots of ducks flying away from the ground and it all came out clear and sharp. I recommend this camera. Im not a pro but I do know a good shot when I see one. Also it's easy to operate. i am pleased with this camera.

Summary: wonderful camera
Review: This is my second digital and my best. I've got a 35mm also. The HP945 when you read the instructions takes outstanding photos. I've read of the problems with the Kodak 10x optical and the Olympus 10x optical. For example the pictures out of focus and the LCD going black during the shutter release and this camera can experience these same problems but when you just read the easy to follow instructions this little baby will give you some of the best QUALITY pictures you will ever see. My only limitation is I don't get enough time off from work to enjoy it. In my opion this camera is only second to the $1,000.00 digital SLRs the colors are brilliant and sharpness excellent. And as for the 8x optical zoom with 7x digital Wow! I zoomed in on a tansformer atop the power pole accross the street approximentlly 140 feet away and when I magnified the picture I could read the serial number from the Data Tag. WONDERFUL CAMERA! P.S. Don't forget to read your instructions.

Summary: First digital camera and I love it!
Review: This is the first digital camera I have owned and I am very happy with it. I have not had any of the problems mentioned in the other reviews. I bought it from BestBuy.com about 2 months ago and for the price of the camera I feel that the zoom and quality of the photos are great. The camera was very easy to figure out how to use. I didn't have any problems with it. Batteries don't last as long as I am used to with a regular camera, but I suppose that is to be expected. I think I took about 250 photos with with the batteries that came with. I am going on an 18 day trip this summer and am excited to use the camera there. I will be bringing a lot of extra batteries though!
