Purchased this camera as a gift for a relative that wanted something simple to use, had good capacity, and could easily get prints when wanted. I have had an HP PhotoSmart camera for 9 years so knew it would be a good gift. Think it's fabulous. Takes great photos & videos. Has many features; zoom; view/playback; delete; flash control; self timer; many camera settings. Easy to transfer from memory card to my PC where I can organize, edit and print. The only downside is that I find that the batteries do not last very long. At first used rechargeable NiMH batteries but that did not work that well so switched and always make sure I have plenty of fresh batteries available.

I lost my camera identical to this one and was happy to be able to buy another. However, it requires a 32 mb and the only card I could find is 32 gb. The camera says it can't format the gb card. So, the camera will not work. I am on the hunt for the mb card. Then, I will be happy.

The price on this photosmart m525 is fair. The pictures are sharp and it is a true point and shoot camera. However, the memory is very lax, in fact the camera is useless without an add on memory card which you can pick up for an additional fifty dollars or so. The screen is also very tiny compared to other cameras in the price range. The camera is small but so are canons with screens twice as large. But for just the weekend photographer, the camera is excellent.
High quality pictures, easy to use, great price. I like the somewhat concealed "on/off" switch because you can't turn it on unintentionally and use up batteries. Uses batteries pretty quickly but I guess that's typical of digitals. Display screen is kinda' small but all in all, I really like this camera.
(Note, this is a general review of this model of camera, not of the particular unit I won.) The M525 is a decent, but not spectacular, camera. It takes pretty good photos, but the refresh time between photos can be long. After taking a series of them, it can sit at a "Processing" screen for long periods of time. One nice feature is a second button to start up recording video. It's handy and just far enough out of the way to prevent hitting it by accident. Overall, it's a good cheap digicam to keep on hand for the occasional photo. But it's not very usable for taking a load of photos at a time. I bought one through eBay specifically to match an M525 I already owned, for the purpose of mounting them side-by-side in order to take 3D photos.
