Great Camera
Best digital camera I ever owned. Awesome quality, great battery life, and design, nice strong houseing, great flash for day, inside or nighttime and best of all it's a good price. Made with quality unlike their printers which suck.

Great Camera!
This camera takes amazing photos! I have blown up many pictures I have taken and viewed them on a 50 inch tv as well and they are amazingly clear! I love the design and the features! The flash is nice and bright, you can actually feel the heat come off of it when you use it! :o The one downfall though is the speed... sometimes watching that message that says 'processing' while you are trying to take a pic can be REALLY frustrating!! I have noticed that I don't get that message as often when using SanDisk SD cards.... if you are using kingston or patriot or any other brand I hope you have patience!! >:(

Love this Camera
Very happy with this camera. Great deal, great price, love the features.
I'm a very experienced hobbyest. I also have a Nikon D-70S. I bought this camera to always have a camera on me that's small and light.
The features on this camera are fantastic, the big viewing screen, stabilizing, etc., and it's very user friendly. You'll figure out how to use it in no time even if you're inexperienced in using a digital camera. You just can't beat it for the price.

Mine lasted 14 months. HP says "cluck out of luck"
Originally I loved my r927. Other than slow shutter speed in zoom modes, it performed like a gem. Now, 14 months later, it's dead. It won't hold a battery charge for more than a few minutes. I tried a new battery and it still wouldn't hold a charge.
As for a repair, this is what HP said "Lisa, the complex circuitry and the extreme care and expertise requirement to repair the digital camera costs almost equal to the price of a new camera. This is the reason why HP does not have any service centers."
This was their suggestion, "Lisa, the upgrade options available for your camera are mentioned below:

They seriously expect me to purchase the same camera from them at a higher price than what I can get it on Amazon or eBay! No discount, no exchange offer, nothing.
I guess, for HP, "1-year" warranty equals the "life of the product".
