Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HP Photosmart M425 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: Point & Shoot Simplicity
Summary: 3 Stars
HP Photosmart M425 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom is simplicity itself. All the basic functions are there in this lightweight, basic compact camera. The icons are easily understood and onboard graphic additions like frames can be fun. It doesn't seem to go through batteries as fast as other digital cameras I have. It's also super easy to transfer images and videos to my computer, with or without HP's Photosmart software (I actually prefer Google's freeware, PicasaII, to transfer and catalog images much more quickly).
I keep it in my purse, and often pull it out to snap something or to show off my pictures, clearly visible in the 1.7" digital screen, to friends and co-workers (hey, if I have to look at their kids and grandkids pics, then they have to ooooh and aaahhhh over my pretty pet portraits!).
The only gripe I have is having to reset the date with battery changes (in the few instances I actually wanted a date-stamp on my photos).
Customer Review: GRRRREAT! AND FAST!
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is great! I ordered it the day before my birthday, it said it would come through May 20th-26th and it came the 19th! So woot! I can take over 500 pictures (it came with a memory card). The video is great, and the photos are great and clear. The only thing is the darn batteries! They run out too fast! But i have rechargeable batteries. I have trouble with uploading the videos, but i can learn!But so far, so good!
P.S. if you order it from amazon, i cannot guarantee that it will be nice and fresh, it depends who you order it from.
Customer Review: pansy
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the wussiest camera I have ever used. I bought the year long warranty, which I highly recommend as I ended up breaking 4 of these cameras over 2 years. The shutter lens gets stuck constantly. If it gets just a little rain on it, it gets frazzled or dies. If you drop it, even from 3 or so feet, it's dead. If you are the kind of person who puts your camera in it's case in between every shot, and are vigilant about it's safety, then it's not a bad camera. But if you are even a little outdoorsy, or clumsy, and esp. if you're both, look at the olympus stylus 770 sw, or just don't buy this camera.Customer Review: Does what it's intended to do
Summary: 4 Stars
A nice, solid little camera that does everything it should. The software if comes with is clunky; if you have the Windows Digital Camera Wizard on your computer, it will be faster and more efficient than the HP software. But the focus is nice, the flash is good, the picture quality is more than acceptable, all for an affordable price. I might not take wedding pictures with it, but it's certainly a fine day-to-day camera.
Also, as mentioned in other reviews, buy rechargeable batteries--it burns through a pair of AA batteries in about a day of photographing. You'll also need to buy a memory card, but they're easily obtainable, and for $15 you'll have more storage than you could ever need.
Customer Review: Great camera, Happy customer
Summary: 4 Stars
I took hundreds of pictures with this camera for my preschool. They were a better quality than some of the more expensive cameras that the parents took on our field trips. My only problem is that it would not use rechargeable batteries...hence 4 instead of 5 stars. Not a big deal. I'd buy it again.
