Ok i am finnish dude so my english isn't the best, but i try to tell as much as i can.
The camera is normal sized digital camera. Package includes 4aa batteries, strap and the camera. Really bad that HP didn't include lens protector to this camera because the lens is only protected by plastic shield which is not replaceable.
I gotta really tell you about the photos. Two and three star photos... well... you cant really say wich one is wich. They look the same but three star photo takes about…

Dear Finnish Guy
<br>
<br>Thanks a lot for your suggestion re: HP 318. I have struggled for a year or more with underexposure, and am at the point where I want to throw the camera in the trash and spend money for a better one. I tried your solution, and it works fine!
<br>
<br>Thanks again !

Written on: 07/12/2002 by rich. (1 review written)
This a great camera with no frills and a fantastic price as of Dec.,2002. The camera has three picture quality modes and 8 megs of internal memory. More can be added with a compact flash card. The picture quality is superb at the highest quality and only fair at the low quality. On the low setting you can store over 100 pics. Only 8 on high. Get a 128 meg card for $50 to store more at high quality. I have two other digital cameras. I use this one to take with me and not worry about. I paid… Read Full Review

“The case on the HP photoSmart 318 is plastic and...”
Written on: 12/11/2002 by jonnie duncan. (1 review written)
The case on the HP photoSmart 318 is plastic and fragile. A metal case would be so much better. The camera tends to underexpose. It is difficult to force any form of over-ride of the exposure. If you set the exposure to a darker object, the focus also locks - normally wrong. No matter which ones you buy, the batteries run out far too soon. (I know a cheat for this if anyone's interested)… Read Full Review

Hi
<br>Its so long since I replaced the camera, I don't know that I can remember it fully.
<br>What I used to do was, as I switched the camera on, select the little 'no flash' symbol so the flash system doesn't charge itself.
<br>Of course, this only works when you do not plan to use the flash!
<br>This added some hours to my battery life.
<br>I hope this helps
<br>Jonnie

I agree with the reviewer regarding a much needed case for the camera (mine didn't come with a case). Would love to know the cheat for extended battery life.
