Advantages: Small, easy to use, decent quality Disadvantages: tiny viewfinder, minor aberration
...with this camera. My previous HP took ages, especially in dark conditions, to sort itself out and get focus lock. THis one is very fast, and you won't miss that perfect picture due to waiting for the camera. Transferral to the PC is a doddle with the software, although i wouldn't use it for editing the pictures. Get something like photoshop elements of paint shop pro for that. It looks svelte with a brushed aluminium feel and look to it. All the ... ...although the video button is maybe a little too close to the main shutter release button and could cause accidental video footage. It's small and light, easily fitting into a handbag or pocket. It has a reasonable level of adjustments the user can make, like saturation and sharpness etc. It has 32Mb of built in memory which is more than most, you will need a separate memory card, i recommend 512Mb, but if that runs out, the 32Mb makes a great emergency ...

Advantages: 4.1mp good for a compact, neat, Real-Life technologies. Disadvantages: Expensive, could do with more mp for the price.
...I have sold it for HP during one of their promotions. So I do know what I'm talking about. In relation to this camera, anyway. Don't go asking me for marriage guidance, or unsightly oozing sores though. Just the camera.
Ok, I know what you're thinking, 'compact digital camera? £170? get them free with Kotex panty liners now'. Well, yes and no. It is true that the world and his wife have digital cameras now, but it isn't fair to lump cameras like ... ...feature called Adaptive Lighting which HP is quite proud about. It means that the camera can pick out detail by brightening areas of a picture that would normally be covered in shadow; it manages this without flooding the whole area with flash, which can lead to a pale, washed out look. (If you visit the HP website, I'm sure there'll be some kind of comparison details to show you what I mean.) Anyway, the Adaptive Lighting comes with two levels depending ...

Advantages: Compact, user friendly, light. Good zoom function. Disadvantages: Small buttons can be fiddly.
...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. This camera is light and comes with its own rechargeable battery. ... ...with a carry case or strap and a separate memory card is needed as a maximum of 15 images can be held on the camera itself. The easy to use USB cable makes phot uploading fast and effective.
The Camera also has red eye and alteration functions as well as different environment modes for optimum picture quality.
At a starting price of around £120-£160 (depending on the store) as well as around £25 for the picture memory card. An all round brilliant ...

Advantages: good picture quality adn very easy to unload pictures to computer Disadvantages: fairly big
I had been looking for a new camera for a while and searched around. I came across this one because i just wanted something easy to use, good picture quality and good price. I got this in a sale so paid £100 so i felt i was getting a good deal. I also got a dock and software.
I practised at home taking pictures of silly pictures. it is fairly easy to use although i was slightly confused about how to change the brightness etc but i figured it out. ... ...has a good big LCD screen at the back so you can see the photo you have just taken which was very handy.
It was very easy to load my photos onto the computer and i sent one of the pictures to my own address, just to see what it looked like as i had not been able to send photos before. It turned out very good and i was pleased.
The only thing that annoyed me was some of my pictures blurred even though i had only moved the camera slightly. If you ...

Advantages: Easy to use , compact, with great features Disadvantages: Is it a brand you trust?
What can't be said about this camera? with the myriad of features not found on other brands of camera, this one superceeds the lot, on camera image advice being my favourite. Great features also include on camera red eye reduction, extended panorama functions and adaptive lighting really give someone who likes to make the most of a digital camera really achieve satisfaction. If however you are a user who doesn't want to mess around it is simple enough ... ...to just do this then this camera may be at the wrong end of the market for you, but if you gradually want to learn new techniques and progress further then this is a good choice.
The docking station that comes with this product is easy to use and you also get another battery which the station charges at the same time as your camera. The docking station also allows plugging straight into a TV or a printer.
This is an excellent package and well worth ...
