HP 215 Digital Camera, 1.3mp for $129.00 After MIR

[Richard_Cranium72]

I bought one of these in January.
Pretty nice camera, little bulky, no optical Zoom, only digital. Still a nice camera for the user not wanting to spend a bundle.

I have the earlier model of this camera, the C20. (No digital 2X zoom.) At the time I bought it a couple of years ago it was about the cheapest 1 Megapixel camera I could find. I think I paid about $250 for it and at the time that was about $100 less than the nearest competitor and most of them were less than 1 Megapixel.

I've been surprised at how well it does work and I've more than paid back its cost with the ability to put decent eBay advertisements with good pictures together. It even will focus down to a foot or so if you have a good strong light (bright sunlite day in the shade) and can hold the camera steady. The LCD display is pretty useless for taking pictures and like most cameras runs the batteries down quickly but works OK to see how the picture came out.

Very good price!

I also have the HP C-200

I REALLY like that camera, even though the printouts are like 3x5" for true photo quality, it still is a nice unit.

One thing I enjoy, the "slide show"

Hook it up to a TV and have a basically unlimited slide show, beats paying $200.00+ for one of those internet "Picture Frames" where you also have a monthly fee.

Not sure if the 215 does slide presentation or not.
