Great camera!.......2007-09-09

I borrowed this camera from my grandson and almost didn't want to give it back. This camera takes awesome sunset pictures! Even better than my own expensive camera. So far, it's no. 1 on my sunset list.

Easy-to-use first digital camera!.......2007-07-06

I have never been good with cameras, but I bought the HP M22 in May 2006. I read the manual and tried all the features to learn how to use it. I took all the photos of my 40-yr. high school reunion, my sister's 70th birthday celebration, my trip to an organizational retreat, and made picture calendars for my family. This is a great little camera for the beginner to learn about digital photography. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give it a 10!

Nice camera (when it works!).......2007-04-01

I've spent a small fortune on batteries for this camera and tried new and rechargeable batteries. It's gotten progressively worse and now (after 2 years) the camera turns on only occasionally and even then only when it's plugged into the battery charger. It's a shame because it's a nice camera when it's operating.
Don't waste your money. Now I have to buy a new camera. You can bet it won't be an HP.

Hunk of Junk - eats batteries, short warranty.......2007-02-25

We wanted a smallish idiotproof camera b/c one person in the family was a bit intimidated by our Canon's many options. The HP was reasonably priced and seemed to fit the bill, but was a big mistake.

The first set of photos, indoor, came out really poor and yellow-ish. After that every time we tried to use it it was dead - it seemed to eat batteries (freshly charged rechargeables) just from sitting around for a week or two. We'd open the little door, but no red light. When we put freshly-charged OR new alkaline AA batteries in it and tried to use it immediately it worked only occasionally - it would take proably 3-4 battery swaps to actually work. These are the SAME rechargeable batteries we use in the Canon and in other devices, with NO problems.

All in all we've used it THREE times in almost a year - the initial set of yellow-ish shots, a few outdoor shots that worked ok, and a few indoor ones that were also ok.
Today we decided to check on warranty repair since it's almost one year old, and guess what, it has only a 90 day warranty! Hmmm...it's not too hard to figure out that HP didn't put much faith in this camera.

On the positive side, when it worked it did work easily, and it was easy to download the photos onto our Macs. Unfortunately, "when it worked" is the important phrase here - it seldom worked, and after seeing other reviews with similar battery problems, it doesn't seem that ours is unique. Too bad we didn't get smart and read the reviews before buying it!

We're going to get another Canon and the non-tecchie in the family can just set it at auto and leave it there.

Work well but very picky about batteries.......2007-01-07

I read all the negative user opinions on the web only AFTER I bought this model. There are definitely issues regarding draining batteries and inability to turn this unit ON. Here is my experience and I hope it would be helpful.

Alkaline batteries - Forget them. You'll likely only get 5-7 shots from them.

Rechargeable batteries - I already had numerous Ni-MH batteries (hi capacity 2000-2500 mAh) at home so I grabbed a pair of Rayovacs out of a recharger base (where I stored them) and popped them in the camera. When I turned on the camera the display said "batteries too low to take pictures". So I grabbed a different pair made by Sony from their charger and they worked without any problems. In fact, they lasted a whole day of picture taking and video shooting with plenty of juice to spare. I have done some research and experimentation (mixing and matching my batteries with different chargers) since that first day and truly believe the problems others have reported are related to the batteries used. To avoid problems, you'll need high capacity Ni-MH rated over 2000mAh. But more importantly, you MUST have a good (smart) recharger that has built-in circuitry to properly monitor the condition of the battery and charge the batteries at the proper rate in order to top them off and then turn itself off at the correct time. Also, a good charger can trickle charge batteries stored in it for a long time. A cheap charger will either overcharge the batteries or allow them to drain (either way, the batteries will weaken over time). Avoid the quick 15 minute chargers as most of these only charge the batteries partially to 85% (as they say: there is no free lunch). And finally, keep this in mind: alkalines are rated 1.5V while Ni-MH are only 1.2V. If you have Ni-MH batteries that are partially charged or worn out, or not recharged optimally by a good charging base, you would be putting in a set of batteries measuring well under 1.2V and far below the 1.5V the camera is expecting. To think of it another way, if you put depleted alkalines into the camera, do you really expect the camera to work?

My other digital cameras share the same Rayovacs without problems. It seems the HP is just very sensative to the level of battery charge and is highly likely to report an error when the voltage is low, which is too bad for I think it's a decent camera for the price. I also updated to the new firmware available on the HP website. This does not solve the powering up problem or the pickiness with the batteries, but seemed to have reduced the power consumption.

Hopefully my review will have helped others who are frustrated with their experience with this model.

Didn't last a week!.......2006-06-15

I purchased this camera becuase I needed something for a weekend. The pictures initially were excellent. I accept the simplicity of the camera due to the cheap purchase price. However, the standard AA batteries wore out in an afternoon. There is no rechargeable option. Within a week, the camera was taking blurry photos with strong black vetical lines. I did not drop this camera or mis-treat it in any way. Additional problem, video clips didn't download with a usable sound track.

Not for the real world - get a Kodak.......2006-02-09

I recieved this camera for christmas. A month later, I dropped it about a foot onto a carpeted floor and it stopped working. I was told by HP that I could get it replaced if I bought a accidental replacement warranty. The thing is my 6 year old has had a Kodak digital camera for over a year which has been dropped on linoleum, hardwood floors and even concrete - from far more than a foot. Heck, I suspect it went flying through the air before hitting the floor a few times. Yet we've never had any problems with it. My HP gets bumped and now it won't work? I wouldn't even feel comfortable packing the thing in luggage for a trip! A bumpy road might do it in. Also, my brother recently get sand inside his new Kodak after taking it to the beach. Kodak found sand inside the darn thing when they opened it up but they replaced it free of charge for him. No additional warrenty needed. Before it went kaput it worked fine, although I wish it had a view finder. However, I recommend to you and to everyone you know that you buy a Kodak. They're good cameras, they stand behind their products and they sure a heck of a lot more durable than HP's are.

Good camera - Great value.......2006-01-02

Update: May 2006 - Still have and use the camera frequently. I've also learned that you can take movies and the HP share tools will let you extract still pictures out of the video...very cool. I will agree with the review after mine that the camera doesn't feel sturdy but it fits in your pocket, so there really isn't a need to pack it in luggage. Plus, no matter who made your camera you probably want to shy away from dropping it on the floor.

I didn't buy this camera from Amazon, I got it at an after Thanksgiving sale at Staples, but I am very impressed with it. It's about the least expensive 4MP digital camera I could find and it takes very good pictures.

Downloading photos is a quick process, about a second per 4MP photo, and the HP instant share tools that come with the camera make it easy to edit, e-mail, and print the pictures. There is a video with sound feature on this camera that is about average but it appears to record video for as much as the memory can hold. I currently have a 64MB card in the camera and I can film video for three minutes and I see that as a big positive for this camera.

I would second the previous review that you will need to buy additional memory if you want to shoot more than 20 pictures in 4MP in between downloading them but that is the only thing that keeps me from giving the camera five stars.

HP Photosmart E217 Digital Camera.......2005-12-29

Very nice Camera. Good zoom and display. Easy navagation. Not a very big built in memory. I recomend you buy a memory stick for it. It only holds 16 megs. and 33 photos at the most. Otherwise it is a great camera

How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Delkin 512MB CompactFlah Pro, like most 512MB cards, will store on average 568 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 426 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 256 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 204 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 160 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this 512MB card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Product Description

This full-function fax machine has a base no bigger than a letter-size page to fit into most small offices. It needs only one phone line, as the automatic fax/telephone switch sends the call to the handset or to the fax. The easy receive mode will still receive the fax if you pick up the phone on a fax by mistake. The FAX 375MC uses a thermal print method on Brother Therma Plus paper or standard fax paper rolls. The Therma Plus feels like plain paper and comes in a long-lasting 98-foot roll. The anti-curl system eliminates bothersome paper curling, and the automatic cutter leaves a clean cut edge on each fax. Faxes come out clear and sharp with a 64-shade grayscale and smoothing for better image quality. The message center handles all your incoming calls. The built-in digital answering machine takes up to 15 minutes of calls and stores them for remote retrieval. The 512KB memory stores up to 20 fax pages for broadcasting or out of paper reception. Incoming faxes can also be forwarded or remotely retrieved in case the recipient is out of the office. Or have the machine notify your pager when messages have been sent. The machine has a 16-digit LCD display and is Caller ID ready. It's easy to send a fax with auto redial, an alphabetical phone number index and 60-station auto dialing. Load up to 10 original pages in the automatic document feeder for unattended faxing. The quick 14.4kbps fax modem sends a fax 40% faster than a 9600 bps fax machine. If the line is busy, the machine will automatically redial the number every five minutes for 15 minutes. The delayed transmission feature lets you cue a fax to transmit at a later time for different time zones or lower phone rates.

Poor Design & Performance.......2004-05-07

I have had other Brother fax machines, but this one I put back in the box and in our storage room after 12 days. I was so unhappy that I called Brother to come out and please fix this machine. Brother came to my office and tried to fix the problem twice. Finally they gave me another machine to try. This one was even worse. Brother then tried to fix the second machine (same model) but failed. It seems that the interior rollers that pull the pages through to be faxed have to be adjusted so accurately, so as to pull the paper through straight. The faxed sheet (that is received at the other end) is twisted and longer than the origional. This is unacceptable when faxing die drawings and other related small drawings. For contracts and proposal letters, the faxed sheet looks very unprofessional. This model is only good for occasional family faxing.
