Good first level entry for new user
Review of HP PhotoSmart 318 by jezdee taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages strong case
Disadvantages high use of batteries

...Having had a HP photosmart 318 for nearly nine months I've found the camera to be very easey to use, noably for anybody new to digital camera's. Its easey to use operation makes it ready to go with little guidance required from the instruction book. A clear good size LCD screen help to make a decison to keep or delete any pictures taken before loading to a PC. The software accompanying the camera is straight forward and quickly loaded to your PC,and very simple to use with hours of fun avaliable in making up staged photo's. Disadvages are that sometimes when focusing I would start the timer ... but I suspect this may have been a user fault!!.The one main disadvadge would be the battery useage..very heavy if 50 or more photographs are taken..solution use re-chargeable batteries with a spare set in the backgroud 8/10...

Review of HP PhotoSmart 318 by gshughes taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages ease of use, good spec
Disadvantages not that good in low light, heavy on batteries

...When I got it about a year ago the HP Photosmart 318 seemed to offer the best definition for the money. 2.3 megapixels for abour £180. It has an 8 mb internal memory which can store 7 images in top quality, 16 in medium and 116 in lowest. It will accept flash memory cards which greatly increase the capacity. the main features of the camera are autofocus, anti red eye flash, autoexposure (there are 2 settings f2.8 and f8.0), self timer, and 2x digital zoom. There is no optical zoom. Download is via a usb port. I have found that in bright even conditions the camera will produce very good results, with a sharp image and good colour balance. It is less good in dark conditions, and doesn't seem to have very good light gathering properties. It also struggles in conditions where the sky is bright and the foreground is dark, although most...

Long Lasting Camera
Review of HP PhotoSmart 318 by marka87uk taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Long lasting.
Disadvantages Poor battery life with standard batteries.

...Had the camera for over 3 years now and still working brilliantly. Being a bit old now, the design is a bit dated, and it is quite large compared to the more modern cameras available, but it was a high end model when first purchased. The battery life with standard AA batteries is poor - I was getting about 10 minutes of use from it - and it uses 4 batteries! I changed to rechargable 'photo' batteries - and the battery life is far better - you can get a good few hours of taking pictures out of it. It's a shame it doesn't come with an adaptor though. The 2.31 mega pixels still provides good quality photos, even though much larger resolution cameras are available now. The sliding 'on' button can accidently get turned on quite easily though if in a bag or pocket etc.... Read review
