The HP Photosmart M415 is a nicely built camera of plastic construction that feels solidly built. Its image quality is acceptable for a budget 5 megapixel camera, but not spectacular, and it suffers quite badly from chromatic aberrations. Beginners will love the Real Life technologies, especially the in-camera red-eye removal tool which works extremely well, although battery life is woefully short. The levels of noise are a minor concern which will probably put off more experienced photographers from buying this camera. A street price of �150 for the camera and the HP Photosmart 422 printer dock makes an ideal camera/photo printer package for beginners, and if you can find the M415 on its own for less than �100, it's also worth considering.
