Strengths: It's easy to use, uses AA batteries, photos look good enough for email
Weaknesses:Photos are NOT good enough for enlargements
Overall Evaluation: This seems to be a good little camera, until you try to make blow-ups or look at the full-size photo on your computer. Any area of solid color in the photo (like, say, SKIN!) has HUGE blobs of different colors in it. A 6MP camera should be able to produce an 8x10 print easily, and this one fails horribly; full-frame 8x10 prints are absolutely unacceptable, and even full-frame 4x6 prints are not very good. Videos also are very jumpy with very bad sound. We used this camera for a day, taking pictures indoors and out, and we thought it was great until we looked at the enlargements. Forget it! There are plenty of cameras that are better than this one for the same price; we switched to a Fuji F650 and love it.

Strengths: no strengths
Weaknesses:everything.
Overall Evaluation: everything about this camera was terrible. if you take a picture, it'll look good but try to zoom in and you'll see what appears to be blotchiness and big spots of yellow & brown all over your picture. the shutter time is terrible, and the battery life isn't worth two pennies. i absolutely hate this camera. i've moved to a sony cyber shot now. it is terrific. don't bother with this camera, because you'll end up replacing it in do time.

Strengths: 6 MP, high resolution, takes crisp picture, SD\MMC card slot, antishake mode, red eye reduction
Weaknesses:battery life, poor audio quality for video, smaller LCD screen
Overall Evaluation: I used this camera for couple of weeks and I really like the features and extra stuff it offered for the price. Its a slick point and shoot camera with very easy to use interface. It consumes a lot of battery so it always advisable to carry 2-3 set of rechargable batteries. Shutter speed is not that good. it takes a while for the flash to go off and come again. This matters when you are taking picture of any moving object and you don't want to miss the shot.

Strengths: cheap,take good picture6.1 MPslick design
Weaknesses:bad battery life,only 16 MB internal memory,bad night picture
Overall Evaluation: I got this from staples with free printer. its a good point and shoot camera for beginner. It does the decent job. Takes great camera in day light .. nice slick & sturdy body. It has a bad battery life, only 16 MB internal memory so you need to buy extra memory card.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Inexpensive, ease of use, AA batteries
Weaknesses:low light image quality, shutter lag
Overall Evaluation: I bought this camera as its easy to carry around. Pictures are nice quality with enough lighting, camera is easy to use. Image quality is not so great under low light conditions. One of my biggest complaint is shutter lag - it takes few seconds to take the picture after pressing button. We are used to almost instant click with my other expensive camera. But for the price I paid (under $60), I am completely happy with the purchase. One more feature this camera has which I missed for a while is, the ability to imprint date on the photo image. Overall, its a decent starter camera.

Review:
HP Photosmart M537
This basic camera is low-priced, but you can find better models for the same money.
The 6-megapixel HP Photosmart M537 is a basic point-and-shoot camera with a 3X zoom, a 2.5-inch LCD, and a very low cost ($130 as of 5/10/07). On the surface, the M537 offers an adequate number of features for the price, such as in-camera red-eye removal, a maximum sensitivity of ISO 800, and image stabilization.
