HP Photosmart 612 Review

- WHAT'S HOT: The Photosmart 612 is an inexpensive, simple point-and-shoot camera. It's very easy to use, with most of its settings and functions easily accessible via three buttons on top of the camera, next to the shutter button. One sets the basic flash settings (including a red-eye mode), another sets the self-timer, and the third selects one of the three compression levels. A small LCD panel shows the compression (indicated with one, two, and three stars), the flash mode, and the self-timer status.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: low price

Weaknesses: low picture quality

Overall Evaluation: This is a entry level digital camera. Do not expect it can do anything fancy. The focus is blurry and it only works well with great sunlight. The internal memory is better than nothing but way too small. Could be good for kids under 10.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Fairly satisfied with technical support and their resolution to the problem.

Weaknesses: My company purchased the camera and it didn't work from the time we opened the box. HP tech support attempted to give me the run around in the beginning.

Overall Evaluation: My company needed a good digital camera for advertisement purposes so we chose the HP photosmart 612xi. As soon as it arrived here, I took it out of the box and, as per instructions, installed the batteries and turned it on. Instead of the setup screen I was supposed to be seeing, I got a red/green/blue vertical color bars on the display. When I called HP tech support, they asked that we remove the batteries for 24 hours to reset the camera and try again. I did this but it still didn't work. I called tech support again and they told me it needed replaced and to send it to them for a replacement 7 to 10 days later. This has cost us valuable advertising time.
