Hewlett-Packard Starter kit

Advantages: Compact, user friendly, light. Good zoom function.
Disadvantages: Small buttons can be fiddly.

...As a jewellery designer in my spare time I wanted a camera that could photograph up close - this camera certainly delivers. With its easy to access built in 3 standard zoom settings Normal, Macro and Super Macro, you can zoom up close to pretty much anything and be sure of a crystal clear result. The image quality on this camera is the highest I have ever seen and the full colour mini preview screen is ideal for selecting the best quality pictures at a glance. The HP Photosmart R507 is ideal for those seeking perfectly clear, high quality images. As a 4.1 million megapixel digital camera however, those with low RAM or low processor computers should beware. The images produced by this camera are excellent but enormous with an average pixel size of 2000 x 1500, some lower memory or older operating systems may run slower as a result... Read review

...INTRODUCTION The Photosmart 415 is HP's basic entry level 5 MP camera. It comes equipped with a 3x Optical zoom lens, 6 x digital zoom, a 1.5" TFT screen, a supposed 16 Megabytes of internal memory (more on that later), selectable ISO levels, picture effects, in camera red eye removal, innovative Adaptive lighting system and 8 (so HP claim) shooting modes. As a standalone unit it's virtually identical to it's big brother the M417 apart from the smaller LCD, 1x less on the digital zoom, and lack of a burst mode, and as such it's not available in many shops or online stores. HP is selling through their online partner store Insight for the supposed price of £90 (actually £91.99) which, after Arfur Daley's favourite tipple has been added, works out at £108.09, a remarkably cheap price for a branded 5 Megapixel snapper...

...It all started on our Marriage Anniversary (it was our 8th), we took some pictures from our normal digital camera, put them on our PC and send them to our family and friends. End of the story…………….. Well actually NO……….. I asked my Mum how I was looking in my new outfit and whether I was looking fat. But guess what my Mum said she couldn't see me properly because the picture quality was poor and that all the pictures seemed to be too dark. That was the day we decided to buy a new digital camera. So we got the pleasure of bringing home the new HP PhotoSmart R927. OUTLOOK It is really amazing to know that such a cute little and compact metal body measuring about 9.6 x 5.4 x 6.2 cm and weighing 0.2kg could exhibit such HiFi features and totally amazing results. I like the metallic grey colour as well. PRIMARY FEATURES….. •... Read review
