HP Photosmart M305 digital camera is a great choice for beginning digital photographers - point-and-shoot simplicity with 3.2 MP resolution for enlargements up to 8 x 10-inches.

Customer Review :

Battery-hog. Shuts off for no apparent reason.

I bought this several years ago at Wal-Mart for about $130.00. It was cheap - then. In its price range, it was the "best" one with a video capture function (although the videos are very grainy). I used it extensively in Paris for a trip to museums, and such. Overall, I was pleased with the pictures ...for a 3.2MP camera, and the 3x optical zoom.

But it eats batteries --any kind I threw at it, even after updating the firmware to v1.07.

Also, it developed a habit of shutting off at I was reviewing/scrolling though pictures on the view-finder. It now shuts off while navigating, and I need to remove the batteries to reset it. VERY frustrating. If it weren't for that - and its appetite for energy - I'd be fine with it.

As of now, I can't trust it to function as my camera.

Great camera BAD customer service

This was a first time experence using Amazon.com and Don't know if a second will never happen. After a long search for a M305 digtal camera
we found one on Amazon. placed the order with out any problems but getting the camera shipped was another issue, the ball was not dropped once but twice. Was told that I would get a e-mail with shipping confirmation. after 5days e-mailed again looking for my shipping information.Was told sorry but I did not ship it yet. The ball was dropped again. another e-mail looking for the shipping information, ball was dropped again. same story...oops. Was told by Amazon that they will intervene after two days after there time frame, and there time frame is 15 days. We did received it with in there time frame but it took two e-mails the second one was not every nice. The camera was placed in a box with no packing just the camera in it's case,not even the camera box. So the camera just bounced around in the box,so who knows how long this camera will last.

Useless and no support from HP

As has been stated many times in other reviews, this camera simply DOES NOT WORK with batteries. You can put brand new AA batteries in it, and it will maybe take one or two photos. Often, it will only turn on for a few seconds and then abruptly cut off. I have emailed HP repeatedly with this information in addition to providing links to numerous message boards where many have stated the same problem. Their solution was to send me a long email with an update file for the camera. After going through the whole process, I realized my camera already had the suggested update on it. Bottom line is that this camera is garbage and a total waste of money. HP should have offered refunds or coupons off of future purchases in order to rectify this situation. As a result, I will never by another HP product again.

Not the best, not the worst

I'm very new to this, never had a digital anything. I wanted something simple, and this is very simple. I was unaware of the massive battery drain with the flash, and nowhere in the manual does it mention this. It took an email from the seller to set me straight with rechargeable batteries. The pics are fine for me, a novice, and I'm now happy with it. I would reccomend it for newbies, but not for experienced digital photographers.

Camera Review

I love this camera. I have had it for three or four years now, and it works great! As for battery life, every digital camera eats batteries. All you have to do is bit the bullet and buy lithium batteries; they last a thousand times longer than normal batteries. One set of batteries can last me about three months or more. Pictures come out good. The flash can be annoying at times when you need it most; sometimes the camera needs to charge the flash, which can ruin special moments. Be quick if you need to or make sure the lighting is good before you start.

DECENT CAMERA BUT DOESN'T ALWAYS FOCUS PROPERLY

We received this camera as a Christmas gift and I loved it at first. However as I started using it more I noticed that i doesn't always focus properly. It is usually when you are taking pictures of brighter colors and also when there isn't a lot of lighting. I wouldn't say this is a bad camera but their are certainly better models out there.

Awesome Large View Screen

I purchased this camera for my daughter who is in college for Christmas. She LOVES it. The large view screen on the back is more awesome than she expected. No second quessing at what the photo will look like. She searched for just the right memory card and found a 1 gig SD card and she can now store many, many photos. The only drawback that she noticed was that the night time pictures seemed to come out slightly blurry, like as if the shutter speed may be not set "just right" for the time it is taking for the night shots. She said she would definitely recommend this camera to anyone.

hp has impressed me

My main digi cam is a Panasonic FZ20 which is alot bigger then this hp, so I wanted something that I could carry easily with me and stil provide quality pics. Well, along came the m627 and I am very pleased and happy with it. I was hesitante being that it is a hp digi cam, but I read on it and said what the heck. (It was only 50 or less that I paid for it, cant recall) I love the large lcd, very easy and simple to use which is what I want in a small portable cam. takes great pics, which I was surprised about. the only draw back, it only has 3x optical zoom but thats why I have the FZ20 with 12x optical.

one thing though, not all HP cams will be as good as this one or better then this one. I was looking to buying a hp one for my mom for mothers day, a newer model but the pics the demo model was taking were CRAP compared to this model.

so, def read and try to get your hands on it before making a purchase.

Excellent Camera

I purchased this camera a year ago and dropped it. I bought 2 other cameras and returned them. I bought this camera again and love it! I went on a search and was happy to find it on Amazon!
