good camera.......2007-09-19

I've had this camera for well over a year, and I love it. It does take a while to recharge its flash and that has frustrated me at times. This can be helped, but not totally avoided, by always having freshly recharged batteries.

It does eat batteries quickly, but I find that as long as I recharge them enough, it's fine. It only takes two AA batteries and most rechargeable batteries come in sets of at least four, so I always have an extra two with me and switch them out if need be. Of course, if you're the kind of person who always forgets to/never charges their batteries, this is a bad choice for you.

It takes wonderful pictures. I've used it in pretty much any setting you can think of and it's been great. If you leave it someplace cold it'll take a bit to turn back on, but I imagine any other camera would have a similar problem.

Some other reviewers have said this isn't a hardy piece of machinery. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I've dropped the thing a number of times and it's still good as new. A little scratched, of course, but it works just as well as it did when it was new.

I pretty much recommend this to anyone, unless you have a problem with being patient about things. Yes, the flash can take a bit to recharge, so just anticipate that. Make sure your batteries are charged. That's all. =)

Not a very good camera.......2007-06-02

I have had this camera since December of 2005.But i got i with the printer too.The printer is very good.But more can be said for the camera.For a few reasons The battery life is very poor.Like it can probley last you 30 mins at the most.And some times if you take a lot of pictures you can use them from the camera.And it will say photo can not be found.And sometimes whene you turn the camera on the screen will be off.And the screen is kind of bleek and dark and blurry too.And the video quality is horrible.And when you are taking a video with the camer the videos are very blurry and poor.And when you take a video you can look at the video on the camera but you CAN NOT HEAR THE SOUND.You have to have a computer to here the sound.And my grandpa has a canon and you can watch the video and hear the sound on the camera too!!!!!And in my opinon HP makes better computers then cameras. Thanks.

camera has many flaws.......2007-05-07

I purchased this camera 1 year ago, and I was so disappointed in the performance. The battery life is terrible, I took it to our town's Christmas Parade, and all the pictures are grainy and really poor quality. I posted some so you can see, also when you take a picture you can not take a picture for another good ten seconds. I had a two foot away shot of the rapper Nelly, and the camera didn't take the shot, and I only caught a shot of his tattoo on his arm! Save your money and get a better camera, like the Canon A630 the same price and much better quality, the battery life is fantastic and the night shots are great too. The shutter speed is much better too. I now have my HP in the closet because when I tried to use it on Thanksgiving the zoom would no longer zoom, and the lense does not retract. The only way I can turn off the power is too take out the batteries! I never dropped it or mistreated my camera, it is just not a good quality camera.

One of the better cameras.......2007-01-04

I've used several digital cameras in the past and this one is my favorite. It has the fewest number of confusing buttons (especially no awkward, symbol-laden dial around the on/off button) and most of the menus are pretty self explanatory. Its highly compact and very durable-- I took mine on a cross-country trip through the middle of the desert. And, of course, it has the best picture quality of all the cameras I've used. Admittedly, it is hard to get pictures in low light (the shutter has to remain open for a while to capture enough photons, resulting in a blurry picture if you hold it in your hands), but this camera does have a hole in the bottom for a screw-in tripod for stabilization.
Plus, its one of the cheaper brands out there. Best bet for my money.

The camera with a glass chin!.......2006-11-29

While I agree with others that this camera takes some pretty nice pictures and is easy to use, I've had the same problems as many have noted here. For starters, the thing eats through batteries like there's no tomorrow. I was lucky to get 20 pictures before the batteries crapped out. My biggest problem, however came when my son was handing the camera over to me at the dinner table and it slipped out of his hand. The camera literally fell only 10-12 inches to the table, but that was enough to render this camera permanently inoperable. Be warned: if you are a little bit clumsy or have butter-fingers, think twice before buying this camera! Red-eye reduction is also a bit of a joke with this one.

A fairly decent bundle for a beginner........2007-05-02

About a year ago I was looking for a camera/printer bundle because I was interested in taking/printing pictures to make scrapbooks. I had owned a couple digital cameras before this one but figured I might as well buy a new one since printers alone are so much money. If I was spending money on a printer, I might as well get a new camera to go with it. ESPECIALLY if it would cost me next to nothing to get the camera. So I found this bundle on Amazon. I noted that it had 5 megapixels and 3x optical zoom which is pretty darn good. And HP is a decent brand. So I went ahead and bought it.

Now for my review of the camera. Let me first start off by saying that I'm not a camera expert by any means. However, I do know what I want my pictures to look like and I do know that there ARE cameras out there that can take really good pictures (I know this because the camera that I'm currently using is one of those cameras). One thing that I didn't want is a camera that takes a while to process after taking a picture. Not only does this camera take a while to process pictures, but if you move even slightly within 5 seconds after taking a picture, the picture comes out blurry. This is extremely inconvenient if you need to take several pictures in a row very quickly or if you want to take a picture of someone in movement or if your subject is jumpy (I know this because my cousin owns this camera as well and has trouble taking pictures of her 8 month old daughter). Also, the brightness doesn't always show what the true brightness is. I know how to use the flash and I understand what ISO settings are so I don't think that I'm the problem. I've taken plenty of pictures using other cameras and haven't had this problem. As far as the options on the camera, they are decent. You can play around with different settings to alter your photos (like changing the picture to black and white or sepia). These options are a little bonus.

The screen is a good size. No problems there whatsoever. The internal memory is typical. Most cameras can only hold a handful of pictures so an SD card is a necessary purchase.

As for the printer, I don't have any real problems with it. I'll admit that I've only used it with the few photo papers that came with the printer. The pictures that I DID print came out looking like pictures that you get developed. So if it's easier for you to use this printer instead of going to a drugstore to get them developed, this printer is a great option. The picture looks exactly like how it was taken. Nothing was cropped out of the original picture. The printing time isn't too long so if you want to print multiple pictures at once, time is not a huge problem. One thing that I did like about the printer is that you can dock the camera on it. Not only does docking charge the camera (let's face it, camera batteries die pretty often), but it also lets you review the pictures you took. This is pretty handy if you don't have a computer around.

So would I recommend this bundle? If this is your first digital camera and you're ok with a) having pictures with incorrect brightness and b) having to play with the camera a bit to get a good picture, go for it. I think it's a great bundle if you're scrapbooking and don't necessarily need to get "the perfect shot". Or if you're purchasing this just for the printer, that's a great idea too. However, if you've owned a digital camera before and want accurate pictures, I'd skip on this bundle. I have a Sony DSC-H2 and it works wonderfully (no playing around with the camera to get a good shot... just press the shutter and you've got a good picture). You truly get what you pay for. I'd suggest testing out cameras at a store before buying one.. If I had tested this one at a store, I would have passed on it hands down.

Very good for the money.......2007-03-16

I've had the camera for over a year, and taken several thousand pictures with it. It's pretty darn good overall. I've been pleased with the image quality, especially for scenery shots. It does fall somewhat short with portraits of people in many cases, though. Easy to use. Minor durability problems.

A good deal, a fair camera.......2007-02-13

I had to have the camera replaced by HP because it never really would stay "on" for more than a few shots. The process was so bad, I'll never by another HP camera. The printer is the older series, using #95 cortridges, so they are not waterproof. But it prints just fine.

Easy to use.......2007-02-13

Gave this to the in-laws for Cristmas and they were taking pictures the next time we went to visit. Definitely buy additional memory, the internal memory is really more of a back-up.

A nice, handy camera.......2007-02-11

This camera works great. And the batteries last quite awhile too. Good quality pictures. A good deal for the price.

I bought this CD Player about 5 years ago...and Im telling ya! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST CD PLAYERS EVER!!!...great sound! excellent bass and it resists hard punches with the ground.

But after 5 years of using the Player broke and has no fix. But I still recomend you this item 110% and remember 5 years is a LOT of time

Downgrade.......2001-05-17

I bought one of these because I had a previous model that looked similiar and had the three stage DBB. My two year old player is the best player I've ever heard, so I assumed that this one would do just as well, since it looked similiar and had the same features. However, when I bought this one I plugged in my sony studio monitor headphones, and the sound level was about half that of my two year old player. This was a very big dissapointment. The only way I could get the sound level higher was to use the uncomfortable and low quality in ear headphones that came with the player, which happened to have a defect; the left side was made to fit in the right ear and right side was made to fit in the left ear, so it was even more inconvenient. Philips ought to listen to their older cd players and bring back the good sound quality from years past. Seems like all the portable cd player manufacturers now care only about skip protection and battery life and not sound quality.

Good Job makers!.......2000-12-01

This product is lightweight and great durability. Its anti-shock system is excellent and lets me listen to music on those in the car on the bumpy road travels. It has a great price for the way it was made. I would say it is the best cd player I have used.

Great TV but Iffy Reception.......2000-02-27

I bought the 1.8" version of this set at a great discount here on Amazon.com and I am quite pleased with it. The active matrix LCD display ads depth and contrast to the picture comparable to tube portables. The metal stand in the back puts the set at just the perfect viewing angle for desktop use. The shape of the case is stylish and easy to hold when carrying the set about. The jacks for AV input, Ext. Antenna, and earphone mean this set can be connected to just about anything but it is best used as a battery powered carry around portable.

This set has only two notable flaws. First, the color, while quite vivid, tends to be slightly green. Second, the tuning circuit could do with an additional RF amplifier stage to overcome the slightly snowy reception on all but the strongest channels. The tuner is a little slow to start scanning when the set is switched on or when changing from VHF to UHF and it easily passes over some stations requiring you to back up the tuning bar to lock onto the channel. Once tuned in, the signal quality is consistent. I hope in subsequent versions of this set RCA decides to upgrade the tuning circuits and set the hue more accurately or porvide a customer control for color.

On the whole this is a good product that should provide many years of dependable service if you don't mind the temperamental tuner. This TV is second only to the Sony Watchman which is still the standard in miniature television.

A fun little TV, but reception may vary.......2000-02-18

The L2500BC is a great little TV for a person on the go. Image quality is excellent on the generous 2.5" screen and can't be any better, thanks to the active-matrix LCD.

However, it is possible that reception could be a problem. I've tried the TV in two different places: Southern California, where reception comes through very clearly; and Northern California, where it was dicey at best. As a result, reception is probably highly variable and dependent on geography; make sure you try this model out at your nearest electronics dealer before you spend the rather pricey amount for it.

Excellent reception, image quality.......2000-01-05

In contrast to another reviewer, I found this TV to have far superior reception to any of the Sony and Casio models I looked at in the stores. I bought it and have been extremely happy with it. The screen is a pleasure to look at, the sound is remarkably good for such a small unit, and it is very well built, again in contrast to the other manufacturers' models.

RCA LCD screen TV.......2000-01-01

Excellent active matrix LCD television. Super sound for such a small package! Very please with performance and price. Purchaser should get buy optional cables for input from other devices such as a VCR. Recommended!

Great little TV..........1999-12-16

I bought the 1.8" TFT model and it works just fine..the stations come in nice and clear and the sound is decent too. I like the built-in stand and input/output jacks. I had a Casio and this ones much nicer. A little larger than some but still pocket sized.

DVD player.......2007-07-16

Product works very well. My only issue is the very flimsy DVD trey. But this is a great value for the low price.

It's decent, but nothing special.......2007-07-05

I recently moved up at an HDTV, and didn't want to commit to the high-def DVD war.
I honestly don't see any picture difference with the up converting on. It looks exactly the same. Yes, I am using the HDMI output.
There are two other problems that I have with the player. One of them is the flimsy DVD tray. This is not a serious problem, but it's such poor work that I worry that I'll break the tray by trying to center the DVD in it.
The other problem is that the menus are poorly laid out. There is a menu button.... then there's also a function button. The features you'd expect to find easily are all under Function - Other Settings.

On the plus end, I haven't had difficulties playing any disk at all. I haven't seen any stuttering of images or other problems.

Bought the DVD player in conjuntion with a Panasonic 42 inch HDTV. Both item sare rated amoung the highest in Consumer Reports and the price officered was the lowest bar none.

Good Pic Quality.......2007-06-13

I bought this player for 2 reasons. Price and the HDMI upconvert. I reviewd several units on this and other websites. I received the unit today. I connected it to my Samsung 720pLCD. Looks amazing. I put in casino royale and was amazed at the quality. I watched the movie on a standard dvd player a few weeks ago on my plasma on a sd player. 100x difference. I was using the HDMI cable. You must set the player to 720p and then be prepared to enjoy. The only downside, which does not affect me, is that multichannel surround is only availible from the HDMI. THe optical and coaxial audio outputs only will give you 2ch sound. Since i use this as a bedroom unit it is not a problem. Excellent value. I will buy more of these.

It works.......2007-05-30

The only complaint I have is it does not come with a HMDI cable.
