HP PhotoSmart Mz67 was the first camera I've ever used from the HP brand. I'll say I'm pretty nuetral (borderline the good side) with it. There's nothing that makes me never want to put the camera down again, but HP PhotoSmart Mz67 is a pretty handy camera - I had fun using it.
At a price range less than $175, it's an outstanding price for a digital camera with 8.0 Megapixel resolution and good zoom. There's a 6x optical zoom and a 8x digital zoom - those are rather high numbers. Although the resolution is 8.0Megapixel, somehow a few pictures aren't very clear when I upload them onto my computer. Even though they were clear on the camera, when I upload them, a few of the pictures tend to blur and lose their edge- then I'll need to make the picture smaller on the computer. That's the part that kept me from worshiping this camera.
The (automatic) focus is pretty decent, and it's pretty reliable. Almost none of my pictures went out of focus. The screen is wide and clear. (The screen is 2.5 inches if I remember correctly).
There's audio recording (these seems to come with every camera nowadays) with a built in microphone included with the HP PhotoSmart Mz67. I wouldn't advice using the audio recording for anything serious. When I spoke far from the sound will be buzzing and the voice will be unclear. When I speak close, it kinda stretches my voice. - but then cameras aren't for audio recording.
There's several flash modes to chose from. There's the auto-flash, flashON, flashOFF, red eye reduction etc. If the flash didn't work for red eyes, you can correct red eyes in the camera.
Connection to the computer is rather standard. There's a USB cable connection or you can use the SD memory card. Images are stored in JPEG format and there's a 16MB memory in the camera.
The speed is pretty good. For pictures in rapid succession, I can take a picture every second.
The size of the camera is a little big and it's a little heavy for long time use. I needed both hands to hold it after a couple of minutes of rapid picture taking.
Overall, it's a typical and handy camera good for picture taking.
