HP Photosmart R967 digital camera review
Tomshardware.co.uk has posted a review of the HP Photosmart R967 digital camera.
They write: The front of the Photosmart R967 has an attractive brushed stainless steel look. It measures 3.78″ x 1.01″ x 2.44″ and weighs in at just half a pound with battery. The R967 includes all of the features found in its less expensive sibling, the R827 but adds a number of features to justify its heftier price.

HP Photosmart R727 Review
Digital Camera Resource Page has posted a review of the HP Photosmart R727 Digital Camera. They conclude: “Camera performance was very good. The R727 starts up quickly, focuses without much of a wait, and shot-to-shot delays are minimal (usually). There’s a bit of shutter lag when shutter speeds are slow, and I wasn’t thrilled with the low light focusing ability of the camera, either. The continuous shooting mode fires off four
photos at 2.4 frames/second, but the LCD is dark the entire time, making it hard to track a moving subject. Battery life was above average.
Photo quality is the Photosmart R727’s weak spot — and it shouldn’t be. While the camera took well-exposed photos with saturated colors, everything is too noisy. Details are smudged, subjects are soft, and the sky is blotchy, even at ISO 100 (the lowest setting available). Purple fringing was also above average.
There are a few other negatives worth mentioning. Like most of HP’s cameras of late, there’s no video out port on the camera. Instead, HP expects you to shell out $80 for the optional camera dock. The R727 doesn’t support the USB 2.0 High Speed standard, which makes photo transferring a sluggish affair. I also don’t like how the camera always resets to default settings when you turn it on, though you can get around that by holding down the “Menu/OK” button on the four-way controller. Last, but not least, HP puts
the full manual on CD-ROM, forcing you to open up a PDF file (or print the whole thing) when you have a question about the camera.
While the Photosmart R727 has a very useful set of features, its photo quality lags behind the competition. If you’re only printing 4 x 6’s then maybe it’s worth a look, but otherwise you’ll get better photos (but fewer bells & whistles) from other cameras. “

HP Photosmart R927 Review
CNET has reviewed the HP Photosmart R927 digital camera.
It got a 6.2 out of 10 which is supposedly good according to the CNET editors.
“If, for some reason, you’re not bothered by the Photosmart R927’s image quality or performance issues, its ease of use, its extensive help menus, and its manual exposure controls make it a great camera with which to learn the basics of photography. But if you already know a thing or two and don’t need such extensive help functions, you’d probably be better off with a camera with superior image quality, such as Casio’s Exilim EX-Z850.” [ Read All ]
