HP PhotoSmart M525 6.0 Megapixel

At first glance this is a wonderful camera, it makes amazing pictures, has wonderful photo editing software & is SO easy to use! Plus it's made by a company with a great reputation! So why did I give it a poor rating? Because after 14 days of normal use & absolutely no damage to it on my part, it just stopped working. After trying every troubleshooting tip supplied by HP & contacting HP for help directly, I took it to a camera shop that specializes in repair of digital cameras. I was told that this particular camera comes in for repair more than other. It was going to cost more than I paid for it to fix. This camera was brand new sealed in the box when I bought it on ebay, so the seller had no obligation to refund my money, nor would I ask them to this problem was not their problem! HP's policy for the warrenty is that you have a dated store receipt, so because I bought it on ebay, my receipt was invalid. Ultimately, I had to purchase a new camera (the lady at that store alos informed me that they too had had all kinds of returns for the M525, they no longer carry it due to that fact!). The second camera I got is 7.1 megapixels & a different brand, the pictures are not as good & it's not as easy to work, but at least I know it's better quality (I've had a month already without any problems)! So the bottom line is DO NOT BUY THE HP M525! Hp makes great cameras, but if you have to have one, try a different model!
