Cons: It automatically starts an application on your PC...
My wife went out to the Wal-Mart to buy a printer cartridge and came home with this Hewlett-Packard printer, scanner, blah blah blah. Honestly, I was kind of angry -- it costs 75 bucks.
This little power house has all the advantages of a small office packed into one compact, quiet, handsome looking device. We operate a small company from our home and this piece of equipment makes us look very professional. Using one phone line we can receive faxes -- it seems to know when a fax is coming in, as opposed to a voice call.

I have some problems with my hands and have trouble pushing the shutter button, but that's not really a fault of this camera. The six megapixel picture lends itself well to digital zooming using the PC, really remarkable resolution. For the money, this has way more features than I'd expect. These include manual control over shutter speed and aperture. All in all, a great value. ...
