HP cameras seem to be overly fragile!.......2007-06-20
I've owned the M407 and an 850. Both broke within a year, though they were well cared for. There must be a reason why HP cameras have such low share of the digital camera market (not even in the top then!). But then again, HP was never meant to be a camera company, huh? Canon and Nikons seem to be the bees knees when it comes to digi cameras!
I don't want another.......2006-11-06
I bought this camera in about February 2005 but didn't know enought about digital to know what I can actually get. Goes through batteries pretty fast. The recharge time between pictures sometimes causes me to miss another good shot. Takes way too much time between pressing shutter button and taking the picture. I just thought this was normal for digital cameras till I began reading later reviews. Then I accidentally dropped the camera onto a soft surface (loose dirt and sawdust)and now the lens is stuck most of the way out and will not retract and camera will not come on. Contacted HP to get it fix but will cost close to $100 and they will just send a reconditioned one. So I am in the market for another digital camera-maybe a Canon or Sony or something besides an HP.
A Big Waste of Money - Looking to replace this camera ASAP.......2006-09-25
I lost my HP R607 while on vacation and needed to replace it quickly. I couldn't fine another R607 (which I really liked), so I purchased the HP M407. I thought it would be the next best thing to my misplaced camera...NOT!! I don't like anything about this camera...It's terrible! You can take about 4 pictures with regular batteries, about 10 with rechargeable ones (even with screen off). It says "auto focus", but I don't think it has any focus at all....not far away, not close up, nothing! It takes a really looooooooong time to actually Take the picture after you press the button. I really hate it! Keep Looking...Don't buy this camera!
Great camera for the first month or so.......2006-09-02
We bought one of these in the spring of '05. We took it on vacation in July of '05 and the LCD screen blacked out a few days into our vacation. I called HP and was informed that a RECONDITIONED (used) camera was all that I could get. The camera was still under the manufacturers' warranty, but their policy was to replace it with a used camera, not a new one. I had to settle for the "reconditioned" camera. It has been OK since then.
HP's customer service is at best mediocre. There are the usual annoying and seemingly endless voice prompts in order to get to an actual service rep, and since HP has out-sourced all of its tech support to the third world, I had a hard time understanding the reps I spoke to.
This camera also eats a ton of batteries and takes a few seconds to engage after depressing the button, which is annoying if you're trying to photograph anything other than a posed shot.
All in all, disappointing. I will never buy another HP camera.
Great camera... while it lasts........2006-05-29
Normally I wouldnt write a review, but I have had numerous experiences with this camera that I thought I would share.
My sister first bought the camera, and I was amazed with how user friendly it was and I thought the pictures turned out pretty well. Shortly afterward, her screen blacked out, without any great impact or weather damage.
Naturally, I assumed it mustve gotten bumped in the wrong way, tough luck. I then proceeded to buy one for myself, and a couple of months after I had it, my screen also inexplicably failed to work.
And then for Christmas, my sister received a replacement camera for her broken one, and yet again, shortly after purchase, the screen was broken.
I do accept some responsibility for the damage, I imagine that if it was in a purse in a bookbag, perhaps it got rattled around a bit. But three times? I dont find this to be a coincidence, and I do not reccomend that you risk your money, because you too may have to replace it after 3 months.

Product Description
Leupold Wind River is putting birders on notice: start getting excited about the new Leupold Wind River Katmai Series binoculars right now. Why? They give you all the performance of a full-size binocular in a compact package that's lightweight, and easy to carry or pack. The key is the Katmai's 32mm objective lens and L-coated prisms that work together to transmit a greater amount of light to your eye than traditional compacts, which usually employ a much smaller objective lens.
