From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

HP unveiled a new range of point-and-shoot digital cameras and lightweight camcorders at the 2010 PMA photo imaging International Convention and Trade Show on February 19.

The cameras and camcorders will range in price from $99 to $199 and are geared towards entry-level consumers looking for a camera or camcorder that is easy to use. Models such as the HP CW450t point-and-shoot digital camera come with an LCD touchscreen display and HP's newly designed camera touch interface.

"HP is giving consumers a better way to interact with point-and-shoot cameras by offering models with advanced features at a great value," said Mark Ostendorf, manager, Business Development, Personal Systems Group, HP.

"Entry-level consumers will love the HP CW series while customers who want a premium experience will enjoy the touch interface of the HP CW450t or PW460t and two of our new camcorders."

Touchscreen cameras are becoming more commonly available in the point-and-shoot camera market. Sony, Nikon, Canon, Kodak and Samsung all offer touchscreen cameras but most are in the $200-$400 price range.

HP's range of cameras and camcorders are expected to start shipping in spring.
