Editorial Reviews : The HP Photosmart 120 combines point-and-shoot simplicity with the versatility of digital technology. You can view your photographs and video clips instantly on the 'transflective' LCD screen (reflective outside, backlight indoors). It also enables quick and easy download to your PC, and offers great software with a host of features for sharing your special moments and memories. The PS120 features a 2x digital zoom fixed-focus lens. It's powered by four AA batteries, and you can use optional NiMH rechargeable batteries. Save images to the internal 4 MB flash memory. The PS120 also includes a built-in CompactFlash card slot for adding extra memory.
The PS120 comes with a USB cable, user's guide, four AA batteries, HP photo-imaging software, and Hemera greeting-card software.
Buyer Reviews : This is the second inexpensive HP camera I have used. For still shots, the image quality is adequate to make moderate enlargements. Color saturation and hue are natural. The controls are simple and, if not intuitive, easily mastered. The included software manipulates photos adequately, but buyers should not expect too much digital magic. I like the HP drag and drop folder that automatically loads images to any of several pre-specified Internet sites for album sharing or ordering prints. I do have complaints, but they are minor considering the price of the camera: The quality of the avi video clips is low. Do not expect anything like camcorder images...more like Thomas Edison's first attempt. The flash is finicky about distance--9' is the recommended maximum, but it washes out images closer than about 4'. There is no protective lens cap. Clear glass protects the actual lens, but that cover is flush with camera case--too easy to smudge or scratch. The fixed focus lens does not allow anything like a closeup. Of course, in some cases adequate images can be obtained by photographing at a high quality setting and then cropping the image with software. Overall, the camera delivers good value.
