HP Photosmart M307

Opinion: I previously had an HP720. I was more than happy with it, but unfortunately I dropped it, and the Optical Lens got damaged. I was looking for something similar for a good price, and I did some extensive research on 3.2MP cameras. The HP-M307 came out on top compared to the Canon A400 and the Olympus c460 Zoom. The only better camera I could find was the Sony DSC-P8, but for more than double the price. This doesn't justify it. I would say this is the best Digital Camera to Buy for the price you pay.

Opinion: CONSUMER BEWARE! The Live View screen is very fragile and does not appear to be tolerant to much pressure, ie, cleaning with a soft cloth, etc. Unit was returned to Future Shop and the store's manager blamed me for breaking the screen [though the appearance of the screen and rest of the camera looks new]. Warranty was voided. Future Shop would not budge. My $240 Canadian down the drain. Complained to HP via email and so far no response [their customer service Web site indicates a 1 hour response time]. The camera was only 1 month old, 30 odd pictures taken and always stored in a protective case. A very fragile piece of consumer electronics, in my opinion.

Opinion: It failed after too weeks of use.Does not start anymore.Brought it to the local service center and promised me for a replacement.

Today Dec.23,the local service center phoned me ,telling that the replacement is ready.Went there to pick the NEW one.Good customer support.HP-Saudi Arabia

Opinion: At first glance, for the price, it seems to represent decent value. The quality of pictures is ok, the features are fine, and for the size it provides decent performance.

All of these attributes, however are overshadowed by the well documented fact that the LCD display is incredibly fragile. It is a virtual certainty that it will fail during the camera's working life.
