The Hewlett Packard Photosmart 215 digital camera takes high-quality photos and allows immediate viewing on the camera or on a computer. It is possible to transfer photos to the computer for use in creative projects or to share photos with friends, family, or business associates on the Internet, via email, or by disk. The cameras come with software for editing, storing, and printing the photos. Transferring and printing one or more photos at a time is possible depending on the capabilities of the printer. First-time digital camera buyers will appreciate the extensive features for taking great photos and for maximum enjoyment with them immediately, included with the affordable Photosmart 215. Additional ease-of-use features offered with the new camera include auto flash, auto focus and exposure, and a self-timer.Operating at 1.3-megapixel image resolution, Photosmart 215 has a 2x zoom and an easy-to-figure out software interface to dump your photos onto your PC hard drive.

 

You just point and click to take photos and, using the 1.8-inch LCD monitor, you can immediately take a look at what you've shot and, if you don't like what you see, delete it to free up memory. The camera features point and shoot user interface, real image viewfinder, and automatic white balance. Speaking of memory, Photosmart 215 comes with a removable, reusable CompactFlash card that, depending upon the resolution at which you're shooting, can hold up to 80 shots. Using the LCD to change settings is also very easy. It's menu-driven and in plain language. An autoflash feature activates automatically, and it does a good job of not inflicting "red eye" on your subjects. The software lets you index your photos and create photo layouts, if such is your desire. It's intuitive and very easy to use.
