HP Photosmart 620

(I know that this camera is not technically and antique, but I thought it would be nice to upload a picture of an old digital camera for a change).

 

This is the "HP Photosmart 620". It is an entry level digital camera that was released by Hewlett Packard in August of 2002, it originally retailed for about $229 USD.

 

The camera features a whopping 2.1 Megapixel resolution (which was considered very good at the time), Auto Focus with 3 times optical zoom, 4 times digital zoom, optical viewfinder, 1.5 inch color LCD screen, and a massive 8MB of internal flash memory with a expansion slot for SD cards up to 128MB. As well as three picture quality modes; "Good" (0.3MP), "Better" (2.0MP) and "Best" (2.1MP).

 

Overall this is a very basic point-and-shoot digital camera. The picture quality is not that bad for a 2.1 megapixel camera. I found this camera in a local thrift store for about $3-4.

 

Recently I came across another HP Photosmart 620, after purchasing it I soon discovered that it did not work. However, I then noticed that the outer chassis of the camera was in near perfect shape. So I switched the internal workings of the one that I already had that worked, with the chassis of the camera which did not work. This was actually quite simple to do as the internal workings of both cameras were modular, making them easy to remove, switch and install.
