Been using this camera +5 years
[ Posted: 2008-06-01 ]
ive had this camera for approximately 5 plus years now.
i purchased it after using an earlier model for work (auction sales). I still use the camera at work and it is fantastik! I use it on a daily basis.
I have taken many wonderful pictures which have printed out beautifully from a local photo shop. I was surprised at the quality as i thought pictures came out lousy, but when uploaded, i saw that they were beautiful!
I reckommended this camera for my pastors mom, unfortunately it does not seem to be in stock atm.
My first and last

This was my first digital camera and I loved it. There were a few issues.
Any problem with battery life can be solved with rechargable batteries which feed the camera 4x as longer then regular batteries.
A few of my friends commented that it was hard to focus, but once you get used to teh camera it gets easier.
Kida of a bulky thing. But it worked for me for two years.
I wouldn't buy another HP camera because now there are comera that are loads better then this one here, but I will always remain fond of this one!
HP cameras seem to be overly fragile!

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

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
[ Posted: 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!
