My first digital camera was a HP, and it wasn't a good experience... their lens and image sensor just cant compare to Canon/Nikon etc...

How much did you pay?

I've heard little good about HP cameras. But a large factor in purchasing a camera, aside from image quality, is the feel and ease of use of the controls. If you find it easy to use and comfortable, that might be good enough.

Ouch, is that for three months or like a year? That is only a $160 camera:

Does RAC even report to a credit agency? I don't think they do.

They dont report, but they can be used as a credit reference..

Then you are really getting screwed. Return that camera, and go to Sears. Unless your credit is already messed up, you should have no problem getting their card.

That camera is fine for snapshots.
People need to stop worrying so much about taking pictures with good quality and instead, just go out and take some quality pictures.
