Good camera for the price...
I got this camera for Christmas last year, and over the time I've had it I've been pleasantly surprised. I will agree that the zoom on this camera is nearly non-existent, when you use it the photos turn out extremely grainy. Therefore, if you plan on taking pictures where you know you need a good zoom feature, invest in a better camera. For only $100, this camera is a great deal. The pictures turn out clear on the display, computer, and in print. It's a good choice for a casual photographer who is more concerned about capturing regular, everyday "Kodak moments" rather than a professional photographer, and should be judged as such.
I will also add that last 4th of July I used this camera to take pictures of the fireworks we set off, and those pictures turned out AMAZING. It does have a lot of features to take quality pictures if you play around with it.

Cannot recommend this camera
I bought this camera well over a year ago to carry in my purse for those "Kodak moments". Not much point in having a camera when you can't see what you're trying to photograph. I don't think I've ever seen a worse display. So it sits and gathers dust . . .

Horrible product support
I bought this camera for my daughter. It worked okay (my only complaint is that there is no audio playback for the audio, and the audio sounded really bad when played back on a computer). But then my daughter lost the battery door that covers the batteries and SD memory slots. It's just a little plastic slide in door...probably costs $0.01 to produce. But after spending many hours wasting time with HP's horrible customer support I now know that they will not sell me the part at any price. So my $80 camera is nearly worthless (yeah, we can use scotch tape to hold the batteries in). Anyway, the door is prone to fall off and get lost and HP isn't interested in solving the problem because there isn't enough $$$ in it for them. So don't buy it.

Junky plastic trash
This camera is a piece of junk. I knew the moment I took it out of the packaging and held it in my hands. It feels like it could break any moment. It is not solidly constructed, the only weight comes from the two AA batteries you put in.
Also be aware- It has no real zoom. The 5x optical zoom it has is the ONLY zoom in the camera.
It was extremely difficult to get a photo that was not blurry out of this thing.
It is cheap for a digital camera, but worth only $20 in terms of quality. I am taking it back to the store tomorrow.

Great Bargain Camera
I got this HP Photosmart E427 camera from a chain store as part of a bundle with a laptop and printer, probably would have never bought this camera by itself. I was very surprised by the quality of the photos. Pictures look good on the LCD screen, on the computer screen, and the prints looked as good as anything I have ever got with my old 35mm camera. There is no optical zoom, and the digital zoom only goes so far before it looks grainy, but overall, I am quite satisfied. It is pretty small, fits inside a jacket pocket easily. Just be careful not to accidently slide the lens cover open when it's in a pocket (it turns the camera on) and, of course as with all digital cameras now, don't break the LCD screen. The LCD screen is smaller than most other cameras, but still does its job nicely. I find myself carrying this around all day in my purse now, it's so convenient. Great camera for casual snapshots.
