HP Photosmart 945 digital camera
Hello,
I am thinking about buying the HP 945 digital camera. Has anyone had any experience with this camera? Do you like it? Any problems? Kerry |

Kerry 1) Wrong newsgroup - this is for DSLRs. 2) I find the HP cameras particularly unpleasant to use; the electronic viewfinder seems to freeze for a much longer time on a half-depress of the shutter than on other cameras I've tried (including some much older models). The resulting images seem fine, admittedly. |

Why so much animosity towards HP cameras? Kerry |

Because their crap.
When it comes to printers I'll choose HP over all others. HP ScanJets are excellent as well. However, not all of their other product lines are that good. I had 8 HP Vectra computers. Of those eight, one was just junk, a lemon from day one. The others had problems that I don't see in other computers that I maintained (IBM Thinkpads, Dell desktop and notebooks, Sony Vaio, etc.) I will never get a HP computer again ! That same office bought a HP digital camera. It was junk and we shortly thereafter bought a Canon PowerShot. The Canon is far superior than the HP. Since then I have come across other HP cameras and none have compared to the Canon and Olympus P&S cameras I used before I went to a Canon dSLR. Sometimes companies think that they should enter a market and try to get a good market share. However, companies should not just "enter a market" without having a good product line to begin with. Photography is not a strong suite with HP and it doesn't look like it ever will. You are just far better off getting a camera from what was a film manufacturer that went digital. HP's foray into Digital Photography is NOT one of their better product lines. -- Dave "Kerry" wrote in message ups.com... | Dave | | Why so much animosity towards HP cameras? | | Kerry | |
