John, jgenemans gave some good information in his replies as for the difficulties with most P&S cameras. But that is about to change within the next year, if...
That Sony looks very nice, but it's hardly what I would call a point and shoot! (It's not an SLR, I know.) Something a little bit less ambitious with good low...
You're right in the consumers are in for a nice ride IMO. Absolutely HP will follow or leave the market as a result. It appeasr that HP's srategy is to go...
You read my mind there. I wasn't sure how to quantify the speed advantage of image stabilisation, but the S2 was the camera I was thinking of. There's a good...
I freed up some space for viewing and limited image storage. The suggested image size for screen viewing is 150k and 600 pixels high. Several sites both paid...
I Love This Camera – even with its drawbacks (slow snapshots). The Zoom and the exposure/lighting/lens have allowed me to take some priceless pictures....
Almost the exact same thing happened to me. I argued with HP and even filed a Better Business Bureau complaint. I was annoying enough that they finally gave...
My sister's flash just stopped working. Out of warranty, of course. She went through all the power down, batteries out, etc., stuff the the HP support people...
Worth selling on eBay, perhaps. Then you could put the proceeds towards a 945, which is a bit quicker. If I was starting out again now, I'd buy a Canon S2,...

Hi Brenda, Are you far from Michigam ? Can I learn with it? I doubt that i could repair it.. JOHN Higgins ... __________________________________ Yahoo!...
Group, I just now jumped on board here to let all of you know about my little experience with HP. I ordered a HP 945 camera/dock bundle from WAlMART.com on...
Sorry to hear about your misfortune Dale! I understand your desire to stay with big zoom, I know I'm hooked. Unfortunately I've heard the same story from...
"My Canon has a rating of 100,000 shutter cycles." At least it has a rating, which is something that HP don't even seem to acknowledge! WRT extended warranty,...

Just an FYI> Refurbished doesnt necessarily mean used. In most cases it is something that was caught during an inspection and fixed. During my 20 years in...
Hi, Image stabilizer lens will NOT generally help with action shots. Some have two modes, with the second one for panning. I don't know if the Canon S2 has...

"Image stabilizer lens will NOT generally help with action shots." You may be right, but I find it hard to believe that the shot of the saiboarder in mid-air,...
While I sympathise and agree, up to a point, I think it is only fair to point out that repairing most consumer electronics these days is not often economic,...
Hi. Just for fun, I downloaded the R818 firmware. The file (JACKLP2T.FWI) contains strings of many HP digicams, including HP850, HP945! Maybe it's a universal...

Hi All Our new kitten just decided to flip my 850 of the dining room table and on to the hard wood floor. NOT GOOD. The lense was extended and must have taken...
Sorry to hear about your mishap Jens. I'm assuming that it's out of warranty. Taking it in for repair would most likely cost more then the camera is worth. ...
Hi Again Being the techno geek that I am, I could not wait any longer. I took a big breath and dismanteled the entire camera last night. WOW, that was fun, but...
Jens, Sorry to hear about your failed effort to repair the HP850. Since this is an HP site, I won't get into the many choices you have outside of HP in...
