Summary: Outdated and has poor features, and very slow to use.
Review: Perhaps when this product first came out, it made some good impressions to those unfamiliar with digital cameras. But by now, this camera seems ancient and incompetent when compared to its competitors.
Turning it on takes several long seconds, and if you want to take a picture right away, it may take even longer. From the time you press your finger down to the time that the camera actually goes off, I've frequently had to wait up until half a minute. Instant use is just not possible with this camera.
The features to view stored images are very limited and poorly designed. On occasion I've accidentally deleted photos, because there is only one big button on the back that serves many functions, making it easy do something that you don't want to do.
To put it simply, skip this one over and get something newer. This camera is frustrating to deal with, and not even worth the cheaper price.

Review: Since there is no technical information available, I would not touch this item with a 10 foot, make that a 20 foot pole. If specifications are not availabe, I will not buy.

Summary: Easily the best digital camera in it's class
Review: This is the greatest digital camera I have ever used! It took trying six other cameras to finally choose this gem. I am very picky about my photographs. I want perfection, anything else is a waste of my time. This camera is ergonomically very comfortable to hold and use. Once it is in your hand, it feels like it is there to stay. It's a little heavier than other digital cameras I've used. It feels more like a film camera.The HP Photosmart 715 is very sturdy. It is very easy on the eyes as well, it is sophisticated, yet simple, bearing a close resemblance to it's 35 mm cousin. The camera is point and shoot, it automatically adjusts for every lighting situation perfectly. The photo quality is absolutely breath taking! You do not miss a single detail with this camera. The results are better than anything I've ever accomplished with film. With a 3X optical zoom, there is no way you can go wrong on this one. There is not a single thing I do not like about this camera. It is PERFECT!

Summary: second one we bought
Review: We already own a C618 (earlier model of this camera) and are buying this as a grad present. BATTERIES: The way to go with batts is the Panasonic package of charger and batteries, plus an extra package of batts, get it at BJ's. DO NOT USE BATTS WITH ANOTHER MANUFACTURER'S CHARGERS! We suffered faults with Kodak batts and charger, and the Rayovac batts and charger caught fire on our wall plug. FLASH CARDS: GO with humongous sized memory, you won't be fumbling during that perfect oppportunity. Getting reasonably priced flash cards is best done online, it's easy, AND you don't need an entire flash receptical if you own a laptop, the card holder slides right into the modem slots, easy for travel downloading. We use the laptop, load pics to zips and hard drive (safety) then burn a master CD-R of everything to free up zip space. FAULTS: The damn on/off button you better watch, putting it into a tight camera case can activtate the on feature, out slides the lens, binding against the case, and scary ratchetting noises ensue. No damage from that yet, but watch it! Darkness is this camera's worst enemy, I haven't got that figured out well enough yet, and the shakes ruin anything with a time exposure. AND THIS BABY TAKES FORRRRRRRRRREVER TO CYCLE SO YOU CAN SHOOT AGAIN, so bring the old motor driven 35MM for those rapid fire pic needs. We bought two, and that says it all. Plus, nothing like commanility in components.

Summary: Excellent Camera
Review: You absolutely can not go wrong with this camera. If you're looking for a pure point and click camera, this is the one for you. Set-up is extremely easy and the user manual is very well written. Also, the included software is very easy to use. The one recommendation I would make would be for you to decline the free 32mb Compact Flash Card and opt for the credit towards a higher capacity one (if offered). At the highest resolution setting, a 40mb card will yield 25 pictures. The highest setting on a 128mb card gives you 81.
