Hewlett Packard Photosmart 812 Digital Camera

Pros: Awesome pictures (even in low light!) light weight, simple interface!
Cons: Shoddy mechanicals, too slow, The Video feature, Battery Life

Update : About a year after the 10 month update of the review was published, the camera actually broke. While in my (HP) camera bag, the camera yet again turned itself on and stripped the gearing for the zoom lens, thus paralyzing the camera ...

Okay so I pushed the little rubber on button on this thing, which isnt mine by the way. It makes a loud buzzing sound, as if there was an angry bee caught in my hair. The sound makes me cringe. I must say I dont like its appearance, its too chunky klumsy ...

Pros: Tons of features, easy to use, fantastic resolution
Cons: Battery life could be longer, charging of flash a bit slow

Pros: Small, compact, good pictures (when it focuses), some cool features
Cons: DRAINS Batteries hardcore. "Focus Too close", "Focus too far", "Unable to focus"

Pros: small, compact, very user friendly
Cons: some trouble focusing in very low light conditions

Pros: Price
Cons: Inordinate long period of time for the camera to save a picture.

It takes an inordinate long period of time for the camera to save (write) a picture to the Secure Digital (SD) Media. It takes 10 to 25 seconds to take a picture, save it to the SD media, and then be ready to take another picture. The average time is 17...
