Battery problem a big downer.......2005-05-13
If you're having a problem with the battery life, judging on other reviews, you aren't the only one. This camera does work decently when the batteries are working. It takes video with sound in addition to the pics. If you have a HP computer and printer like me, the software loading pics/video is even easier.
Here's what I have found is a way around the battery problem:
Keep 3 sets of rechargable batteries. (I use rayovac IC3 6 total)
The moment you put the batteries in the camera, it starts sucking power whether it is on or not! IF I limit my viewing of pics already taken and take pics without the screen on, the batteries will last about a day (40 pics).
Leave the batteries in the camera overnight. By the next morning, the batteries will be dead or close to it. Take the old batteries out, and put new charged ones in while the others charge. The reason why I keep 3 sets is in case I use one up too fast.
Hope that works!
Good for the price/bad warrenty service/eats batteries quick.......2005-03-11
I got this camera about half a year ago, and it worked quite well. However, unless you use full optical zoom, the edges of the photos are bent outwards. This camera also eats batteries much faster than my Kodak DX6340 did. I had a problem with the software that came with my camera so I have to use the Kodak Easyshera software instead. Also, this camera records audio videos, but you can only hear the audio on the computer.
Through all this, this camera is still good if you can get a good price.
BUT MY MAIN PROBLEM IS THIS: HP doesn't offer good warrenty service. When after I had this camera for about half a year, it stopped working, still in warrenty. I went onto HP LiveChat support online and since the people there are from India, it was hard to communicate with them, even online. After confusion and a long wait (about two weeks), they finally sent me a camera that was broken which they "fixed into perfect working condition" after saying that they would send me a new one. This camera was still broken when I got it, and they later told me that they only send refurbished ones. I told them this camera was also broken, but they couldn't send me another replacement until they recieved the first broken camera. Even after that and my continued contacting them, they kept on saying "I am sorry. You will get the confermation e-mail shortly." They never sent it and I waited two months without a working camera. Finally, the camera they sent me started working, even though it still doesn't look as good as new.
HP couldn't help but leave me without a working camera for so long even though I was under warrenty.
One last complaint: When I first got the camera, it was missing the lens cap.
IN CONCLUSION:
If you want a decient camera for cheep and don't care if you may not have a working camera for a while, this camera is a good buy (if you don't mind the other things I mentioned above also).
You get what you pay for.......2005-01-12
This an acceptable digital camera, not much more. It's a solid value if you find it for less than $75 or so, but I personally would pay more for a Kodak or Olympus with similar specs next time around.
Pros:
-Low price
-Reliable 3X zoom
-Good outdoor capabilities
-Reasonably logical navigation menus
-Excellent USB connection and PC photo download/edit software
Cons:
-One of the worst battery-eaters I've ever used
-Poor color saturation: certains blues and greens are way off and can't be corrected
-Dumb firmware programming: Forgets all settings when switched off (even with batteries installed) and occasionally bugs out. There is also an error in the brightness modulation.
-Pretty poor for closeup work: misinterprets light levels and more often than not can't capitalize on its 2 MP power.
Overall, it's a good value if you pick it up cheap enough, but next time I won't look for an HP camera any more than I would a Kodak printer.
BEGINNERS PERFECT CAMERA.......2004-08-18
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CAMERA FOR "ANYONE" ANY AGE AS A STARTER CAMERA FOR DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY. I WAS GIVEN A MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE CAMERA (DIGITAL) FOR A GIFT. MY FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA. IT WAS A DISASTER. I COULDN'T EVEN READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL IT WAS SO CONFUSING. I BOUGHT THIS CAMERA AS A TEACHING TOOL FOR MYSELF. IT WAS PEERFECT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. I HARDLY EVER USE THE "OTHER" CAMERA(IT COST $400).THAT ONE IS LEFT TO OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.
SO FAR NO PROBLEMS. BATTERY SEEMS TO GO ON FOR EVER. I PAY ATTENTION TO ALL INSTRUCTIONS ON ENERGY SAVING. WORKS PERFECT WITH OR WITHOUT THE DOCK FOR TRANSFERING THE PICTURES. NO END TO RECHARBLE BATTERIES. THE SAME PAIR HAS LASTED FOREVER. THANK YOU......JT
Not too shabby; one complaint though.........2004-06-24
I wouldn't call myself a [digital] camera expert. I have a few friends with digicams and this my first one. All the features on this thing are great! Lightweight, practical, and it's not too slow taking pictures or loading them. It's fun to play around with, too. My camera drained AA's like nobody's business; but then I got rechargeable ones. Still, the battery power is a problem-- Enough to make you conscious of how long you leave it on, and how much you use the screen (which drains more power) rather than the oldfashioned viewfinder. Hope this helped, and GOOD LUCK with your search!
Product Description
The ATS/STS 80 (HD) observation telescopes set the highest standards among telescopes in this category. Even with the easy-to-handle fully rubberized armoring, the ATA/STS 80 (HD) are by far the lightest of the larger observation telescopes. Thanks to a recalculated optical system, they offer a precise observation of detail, optimum edge-to-edge images and almost 100 percent color fidelity with an extremely wide field of view, thereby achieving a revolutionary image quality.

Scope-envy.......2007-03-08
All my birder friends have scope-envy. It's relatively lightweight, considering its power, which is terrific.

It will not rub or slip in the cover. This case allows you to view through the scope without having to remove the scope from the case, a "must have" that will save you invaluable field time. The telescope is perfectly protected from any nudges or jolts when travelling and in the thick of field action. Supplied with carrying strap. With very light fabric, this case offers more protection while it weighs only 0.39 lb (175 g).
Product Description
Swarovski's posh spotting scopes are hallmarks of the distinguished brand. They're available in two objective sizes, straight or angled viewing, and with regular or ultra-low dispersion glass. It is entirely a personal preference which cannot be determined except from experience, but many prefer anlged scopes for extended observations or when sharing a scope amongst people of varied heights. The 80mm size lets in enormous quantities of light, allowing for use of higher magnifications in poorer light than with the 65mm version. Understandably, it is larger, heavier and more expensive, but if you're not frequently hiking with your scope it is likely worth the expense and mass. The "HD" versions of Swarovski's scopes feature elements with extra-low dispersion glass. This provides an even more remarkable image, with better edge resolution. In particular, color fringing is nearly eliminated. Subjects with intricate patterns will have crisper delineation, something enthusiastic birders will greatly appreciate. +PLUS+ ACCESSORY KIT: - SWAROVSKI WIDE ANGLE EYEPIECE - B & w UV FILTER - B & W CIRCULAR POLARIZER
