GREAT camera for the price!.......2007-04-30

This was my first digital camera, bought when I was pregnant with my now 3 yr old son. I got it because it was a good price... $77 at Target the day after Thanksgiving. I never regretted going with a cheap one for one second! My dad did a lot of research, and bought a more expensive one from National Camera that they recommended, and the picture quality didn't compare to what I got. Mine was 10X better. The zoom isn't great... I just cropped the pictures later instead of zooming because it usually would look better that way. The only reason I am not still using this great camera- I let my mom take it to Mexico, and when I got it back, the pictures were all blurry. I don't know what she did to it, but it had never had a problem in 2 1/2 years and after 1 week with her it didn't work, so I do not blame the camera at all. It does go through batteries, but like others said, just buy the rechargable batteries. They worked great! And someone said they last a half a year... I am still using the AA ones I bought over 3 years ago, and they still last just as long, and get a lot of use between cameras and my sons toys. My replacement camera was researched a lot more after seeing the poor quality a lot of other people end up with... I got a Canon PowerShot SD600 Elph 6 months ago... and am in love with that camera. If you are looking for good pictures for a good price, this is definitely the right camera. If you are willing to spend more, the Canon also does great video w/sound, and has replaced my video camera. Both take great pictures, the canon just has more options. In 6 months I have taken over 3000 pictures with this camera. Most people call me obsessive with pictures, so both cameras have definitely been put to the test by me... and both have passed (my dads, and many others I have tried in stores... would never pass.) My #1 recommendation is to go to the store and try them. Look at the quality of the pictures you take, the type of memory card, how fast it takes pictures (or you might miss everything your kids do!), and what features it has. Megapixels is really not important... unless you are planning on blowing it up beyond 8x10. 3 MP blows up to 8x10 with great quality, and getting a camera with higher really won't change that, unless you are going to be printing bigger. Good luck with whatever camera you choose to buy!

Pretty decent.......2006-03-15

I've had this camera for more than 2 years and it has been pretty good to me. Takes really good pictures on sunny afternoons, but could do a little better at night. Recommended for beginners!
tip- get energizer rechargeable batteries! they work great with this camera and last for half of a year!

FAIR-Not for quality purposes.......2005-12-02

This camera is basically good for mid quality family pictures and similar shots, you can't expect much from a non-optical zoom/ 3.3 mp camera, PLEASE!!! Anybody who tells you how great the camera is, never had anything better on their hands,LETS BE HONEST it is not a bad camera but not a smart choice if you are looking for quality. It's actualy a pretty handy and easy to use camera, not too many features and cheap, so there you go...if you need something not too fancy, cheap and you are not expecting some awarded National geographic pictures from it, this is your camera.

Worst By Far..........2005-09-21

This is the worst camera I've ever owned. Picture quality is average, however I have to replace the batteries everytime I use the camera. I purchased the recommended batteries which gave even worse results than standard AA's. After taking a few pictures the camera will "hang" on a pic. and destroy the image.
Customer service offered no help unless I wanted to pay them to inspect the camera for problems.

What battery problems? Great Camera.......2005-09-21

I've owned this camera for more than 2 years along with my SLR film cam. Its been a great camera and I've taken more than a thousand photos with it and got great prints ranging from sunny beach shots to pitch black cave pics. Unfortuanely, thats where I crushed it just this past weekend...in a cave, but my pics where still saved!

Of the reviews I've ready, most have problems with the batteries. Its a digital camera...of course it will use batteries! Show me one that doesn't. Thats why you keep spares and I have yet to have them last less than a month. Also, you don't have to reset the program if you change the batteries out quickly. Just dump out the old ones and pop in the new ones. You can do that in less than 10 seconds. The same goes with the SD card. I do it all the time. Quit whining and bad mouthing this great product. Its a great camera and I am getting another one.

Product Description

The FX826ES Switch is ideal for operating fiber optic networks and it is designed for bandwidth-constrained workgroups, which require faster speed connections. This Switch allows you to join a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet to an existing 10Mbps Ethernet network. Its internal cache buffers the traffic from higher bandwidth 100Mbps segments to 10Mbps segments. The Switch ports will automatically adjust to 100Mbps operations if both segments are later designated as 100Mbps. Moreover, by splitting a network into several segments and bridging them, you can reduce the traffic load on your network and decrease collisions on each segment. It features "wire-speed" switching mechanisms as well as the ability to filter local traffic, collisions, and error packets to maximize network performance.The FX826ES provides high performance fiber optic connectivity for 10 and 100Mbps integrated networks. Simple plug & play operation is combined with advanced features to deliver high-performance ASIC-based switching. Each port can be individually configured for half or full-duplex operation for optimum network performance. Wire speed and 2MB buffer memory virtually eliminate network congestion and jitter. The store and forward operation automatically filters packets with receive errors ensuring data reliability. To serve the functions of workgroups as well as entire departments, the address table stores up to 8K worth of MAC addresses. The Auto-learning capability eliminates the need for extensive setup. For scalability, a cascade port on the back of the unit provides a 200Mbps full-duplex data connection between two fiber switches.

Customer Reviews:

Software won't run with IE7 Installed.......2007-08-30

Another bitter customer, I've spent endless hours trying to deal with HP software bugs and now complete failure. Scanner scans well, but the effort required to get the software working is not worth it.

Release of this software is inexcusable.......2007-05-08

After struggling with this scanner for over a year I finally replaced it with the scanjet 5590 which does everything that the 5550 was supposed to do. Physically the two scanners are identical on the feature set and form factor down to the buttons and hinges. The difference is that the 5590 comes with HP director software version 2.5. The 5550 uses version 2.0. The HP scanning software 2.0 does not load completely on windows 2000 precluding access to adjustments in scanning settings and changes in the default settings. Getting it to work at all took hours and each scan had to be have settings individually set up for an office trying to automate record keeping. What a waste of time and money. HP should give a full refund or replacement for every one of these they foisted on unwitting customers.

I recommend 5 stars if someone will buy this piece of garbage from me!.......2007-02-19

Another corporation trying to take money by maliciously hyping a product. I've had nothing but problems with all HP-created software (including this scanner). I will not use HP again. As my father taught me, "if you hang around with losers, you will become a loser." Don't hang around with HP. You will waste time, money and energy.

Not purchasing these ever again.......2006-03-31

I do IT work and my company is currently purchasing scanners for various departments. I've already had to deploy these scanners and have found nothing but frustration with these machines. I agree with most everyone else's assessment that the software that comes with these devices is horrible. But I also think the scanner itself is just designed poorly. I thought it was just this HP model but doing all the research that I've done to find a better scanner, it seems that all HP scanners get bad reviews (with the exception of All-In-One products). I don't know what is wrong with HP or whether these scanners are even touched by any of their design engineers. I've had good experiences with most of their other products (computers, printers, servers) but their scanner lines just seem like an afterthought. Anyway, if you are looking for a good scanner, I would recommend the Fujitsu Scansnap fi-5110EOX2. We don't have them in our company yet but we do have the more expensive Fi-4220C2 models and I love this scanner. It's fast, the software is designed nicely, and it scans well. And considering the overwhelming positive reviews that the Scansnap has gotten from other Amazon reviewers, I'm pretty sure they use the same technology throughout all of their scanner products. We are currently going to order the higher model fi-5110C to replace all of these junky HP scanners. I will write another review once I know that these scanners work well as well.

Very effective workhorse ADF scanner.......2005-12-29

I like this scanner for a few reasons:
(1) The ADF: If you fan out your paper and try to remove folds in it, the ADF works just fine. It is pretty fast too at around 10 ppm at 200 dpi b/w. Although it says it has a 35 sheet capacity, I regularly load 50-60 sheets into the feeder with no problem. It does have problems occassionally with cardstock and other thick paper, however. I wouldn't recommend it for scanning a load of photos.
(2) I can't speak about the software because I haven't used it...if you just download the TWAIN drivers, you can use Windows XP's scan wizard. This allows you to control whether the scan is from the ADF or regular flatbed. Also allows you to control basic things like brightness/contrast, dpi, bw/color. Also, if you have multiple pages of the same thing like a report, save it as a TIFF file which will allow you to condense the whole thing into one multi-page file which can later be converted to pdf.
All around great scanner and a big time-saver.
