Product Description
Hewlett Packard's aggressive assault on the digital imaging market continues with the PhotoSmart C215, an easy to use digital camera that offers good quality in a small package.Operating at resolutions of up to "one megapixel", the camera features a 2X zoom and an easy-to-figure out software interface to dump your photos onto your PC hard drive. You just point and click to take photos and, using the 1.8 inch LCD monitor, you can immediately take a look at what you've shot and, if you don't like what you see, delete it to free up memory. Speaking of memory, the C215 comes with a removable, reusable "CompactFlash" card that, depending upon the resolution at which you're shooting, can hold up to 80 shots. Using the LCD to change settings is also very easy. It's menu-driven and in plain language. An autoflash feature activates automatically, and it does a good job of not inflicting "red eye" on your subjects. The software lets you index your photos and create photo layouts, if such is your desire. It's intuitive and very easy to use. In all, the PhotoSmart C215 is a fine performer, as long as you have a cute, button nose and a pile of batteries.The camera comes bundled with DeskJet 950C that delivers photo-quality images and sharp black text on a wide range of paper types all with exceptional speed. It includes many easy-to-use features, such as print-cancel button and low-ink warning.

4 out of 5 stars This Camera Has Seved Me Well   July 24, 2006
A. S. Boyd (Altoona, PA USA)
I got this camera for Christmas several years ago (2001). It was a decent camera during its time. The battery life is non-existant. I used to spend a fortune on batteries. The memory card included allows you to take 12 pictures of highest resolution. The camera is huge, so it is hard to transport in pockets. When it focuses and adjusts to the light levels, etc., it makes an awful noise. The delay with the shutter did create some portraits of hilarity though as the people posing thought the picture was taken and it catches them between a smile and a straight face. It was a nice camera to have as a high school student, but after graduating from college, it is severely inadequate.
