READ MY REVIEW'S ON THE HP 850, OR TRUST ME! SPEND A FEW DOLLARS MORE NOW AND START OUT ENJOYING  POINT AND SHOOT AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS OF SHOOTING START TO USE THE ADDITIONAL BUILT IN FEATURES THIS CAMERA OFFERS. O! BY THE WAY MOST OF THE ADDITIONAL FEATURES ARE VERY EASY TO USE. JUST LIKE AIR CONDITIONING ON A CAR, YOU PUSH A BUTTON TO TURN IT ON. ON THE HP 850 YOU PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN ON THE TELEPHOTO. WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR FAVORITE COIN, STAMP OR FLOWER. JUST PUSH THE MACRO BUTTON. YES IT'S THAT SIMPLE ON THE HP 850 DIGITAL CAMERA.

I WISH THE FACTORY WOULD HAVE POINTED OUT MORE OF THE FEATURES THE CAMERA OFFERS BECAUSE I ENJOY ADDING THESE RED COMMENTS OF MINE. IN MY 52 YEARS OF TAKING PICTURES THIS IS THE EASIEST CAMERA I HAVE EVER USED. TRUST ME, AFTER YOU HAVE PROPERLY INSTALLED THE BATTERIES, YOU ARE READY TO START TAKING PICTURES. I HAVE BEEN HAVING SO MUCH FUN I HAVE NOT EVEN HAD TIME TO ATTACH THE CAMERA STRAP THAT IT CAME WITH.   CAMERA STRAP ATTACHED AFTER 6 WEEKS.

 PS    PLEASE READ ABOUT RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. IF YOU BUY THE OPTIONAL HP ACCESSORY KIT, YOU GET A CAMERA CASE AND YOU WILL GET, A QUICK CHARGER / CHARGER BATTERY CONDITIONER AND 4 RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.  THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES WILL LAST FOR YEARS.
