Definatly go with the Cannon because digital degrades the picture really fast. Optical zoom is really nice. If you want a smaller camera, however, you may want to go with the Hewlett-Packard, because optical zoom takes up space, and makes for a bigger camera. Digital zoom is nothing to brag about. Also, other than the zoom, Cannon is more of a well-known brand, and usually that is for a reason.

The previous posters are all correct!
Any Canon over any HP any day!
Ignore the digital zoom. You can do the same cropping in the computer or the printing kiosk when you make the prints. If you are finding yourself always cropping a lot, then move closer to the subject when taking the picture, or buy a high quality high mega pixel camera which will allow heavy cropping.

Always go with optical zoom or digital zoom. Digital zoom makes the picture bigger but degrades on the quality. Optical zoom maintains the quality.

Any Canon camera would be better than HP.
Optical zoom is the only zoom you should ever be concerned about...as digital zoom is completely useless and only produces poor quality images.
