Value for money - Good for normal photography
Review of HP PhotoSmart 320 by Priyankamanu taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Good photo quality, easy to operate, Easy to download photos from this camera
Disadvantages Digital display is not clear, Slow to start, video recording button and photo buttons are placed incorrectly

...I own an hp320 since 2002. It a good value for your money. Fully automated. I find it very easy to operate. Good photo quality.. However, the video recording button and photo clicking buttons are placed very close to each other which I think is a bit inconvenient as many times I clicked the recording button when I was suppose to take a still picture. Video quality is OK. This camera does not record voice with the video. The digital display is not very clear esp. if you stand at some distance from the object but still good enough for an amateur photographer. I think that the power consumption is a bit higher (It uses 4 AA size batteries!, compare SONY) One thing that I did not like about this camera is that this it takes somewhat longer to start. it looks better than average. Still there is a scope to make it look more contemprary... Read review

Great value for money and simple to use.
Review of HP PhotoSmart 320 by megandmog taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Easy to use and upload, great features for the price.
Disadvantages Only 30 seconds video use, viewfinder balance veres to the left. Has no case.

...not surprised. I would buy this camera again purely for ease of use BUT would not recommend it for anyone wanting to use it as a normal view by eye camera - without using the video display, the picture doesn't come out as you view it - it veres to the left. I don't know if this is true of all of them! Picture quality is far better than expected and it really is simple to use. HP photosmart 320, 2.1mp, 4x digital zoom. Internal memory of 8mb but I added a 64mb card for £19.99 from Jempsons which is also where I purchased the camera for £99.99. It holds approx:(using the card) 68 photos at best quality 121 at better quality 696 (yes 696) at good quality Instruction mannual is very well written and details everything that could possibly go wrong also! Helpline available but i've not needed to call them. Overall pro's price good... Read review

Shoddy workmanship
Review of HP PhotoSmart 320 by dakotatycoon taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages easy to use, like the picture quality
Disadvantages cheaply make - manufacturing flaws

...Shortly after purchase battery lid/retainer refused to stay closed making the camera unuseable. I tried holding batteries in with a rubber band but that is useless. At this point I will try and return but not sure about Radio shack return policy, have heard that they are not to keen on returns. I have been fighting this maybe a little too long. Should have taken it back right away. But I liked the idea of the really quick pictures. Now I'm afraid that I'm stuck with a useless piece of electronics. Would I buy another one? NO WAY! Will I get a different digital camera? I will if Radio Shack or HP refuse to take care of the problem. \ But if won't be from Radio Shack and it won't be an HP.... Read review
