Summary: HP
Review: Just bought one of these and I know they are very good. In my 20+ yrs in technology I've never seen an HP product that wasn't worth the price and competitive. I wouln't say HP makes the best stuff but I wouldn't argue with anyone who did. The remarks from folks critical of HP are silly. If you have trouble getting a strap attached;read the book. Page 11. The person who thinks HP only makes printers needs a reality check. They make alot of other things including high technology equipment that he probably couldn't even pronounce. Nope, I'm not associated with HP in any way. Never have been. I just know from experience it's an excellent company that makes excellent stuff and they've been doing for a very long time.

Summary: Good entry level for the price
Review: LCD is dark and not too clear but pics do turn out excellent displayed on PC or once printed (this depends obviously on your printer as well). No optical zoom but digital is zoom is very good. No sound for movies but it is very nice and length depends on your storage media size. Comes with 4 Energizer E2 batteries which have amazing battery life. I'm still using them after > 80 shots and 4 weeks. If you get low battery indicator turn the camera off, wait awhile (couple seconds to 1 minute) and turn on again and you're good to go. This is apparently a little trick with Photo Lithium batteries, they need a rest. Major problem is that the battery compartment is too easily opened. Several times I've accidentally opened it. It's also not meant to take night shots where the subject is > 6 feet.

It's about the size of a medium sized palm but does fit nicely in my hand. Simple and easy uploading to PC. Camera use is so simple you won't even need the manual. It's an entry level so there's no advanced controls. Simple point and shoot camera for the entry level masses. Considering the low price and the intended market it's a good buy.

Summary: The best value camera ever!
Review: My goal was to get a digital camera for under $. I tried the equivalent model Vivitar, and Kodak, and finally settled on this HP. For all the features I wanted, and all the hassle I didn't,this camera is the best of all worlds.

To start with, I wanted SD/MMC as my memory medium. I own a Palm m125, and it also takes SD, so the memory could be interchangeable. I wasn't too concerned with the megapixels, since most of what I use the shots for is web applications, but 2MP made the pictures look nice, even when printed to 4" X 6".

The movie feature is great, and with minimal effort you can burn your movies to a CD-RW and watch them on your dvd player, if your dvd player will show VCD. It's great for us, because my husband does medieval re-enactment, and the movies are neat to show people what he does in motion, instead of just poses.

This camera also has direct print and email capabilities. I've not used them as of yet, but the gist is that when you take a pic that you can queue it to send email to so-and-so, or print copies of this particular print when you plug it in.

The zoom works well, although I wish it was an optical zoom. I feel like I traded the coolness of the movie mode for any optical zoom, and I'm fine with that.

The usability of the camera is awesome. The buttons on the camera are kept to a minimum, and most actions use menus. This makes it easy to learn how to use all the features, I tought my technology-deficient husband how to use it in minutes.

It integrates seamlessly with my Windows XP Home. I plugged in the camera and the PC recognized it immediately (even to the model number) and led me through the options of how to upload.

Altogether, for someone on a budget, this camera is a great buy.

Summary: this camera is a ....
Review: On the surface, you'd think this would be a great camera. 2.1 MP, takes SD cards and has a great price when compared to other 2.x MP cameras. The problem is it takes fairly poor quality pictures and handles low light senarios poorly. Ontop of that (a minor irritant) it is impossible to attach the strap. I tried for about and hour and then gave up.

Previously I had borrowed a Sony. DSC-P51 from a friend to test and was quite happy with it. Stay away from this one. It's dud.

Summary: Well designed system - Even my parents love it
Review: Received an email from my dad with great pictures he just took with the HP PS320. That's a great sign considering he doesn't know what a URL is.

Summary: wrist strap is useless
Review: the camera works OK. The wrist strap is impossible to put on. I need it since many users need this on the go and it would save the camera from dropping.

The wrist strap was so frustrating, that we wanted to throw it out the window.
There is also no case.

Can't really recommend it since it gave us so much initial frustrations.

Summary: Excellent - Easy to Use Digital Camera
Review: The HP PS320 Digital Camera is a solid performer. It is easy to use and delivers great results. I really like the Instant Share capabilities on this unit. This is a very good, inexpensive, easy to use product giving great results.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, inexpensive choice.
Review: This camera does a good job for the money. The pictures are plenty clear to print unless you want to enlarge. The zoom is somewhat annoying since it puts a box around a piece of the picture in the viewer rather than erasing the part you won't see. This leaves you to imagine what the picture will look like once the outside of the box is cut off. Other than that, this camera has worked well during heavy use.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Camera
Review: This camera is an awesome camera. It takes breathtaking pictures in 2.1 MP resolution that can be printed up to 8x10. It has brilliant colors. I had originally bought a Vivitar Vivicam 3625. I hated it. I took it back and bought this miracle. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants a digital camera!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great camera
Review: This camera is good. The picture quality is brilliant, although it occasionally needs despeckleing. Buy it with at least a 32mb SD card so you can store plenty of medium quality shots. You can usually get good deals in bundles, so check. It's mechanisms are reliable and you can unload your pictures seamlessly. The wrist strap is, however, a bit difficult to attach.
