HPP_R725.jpgThe HP R725 is one of HP's new ultra-compact cameras. But despite its small frame this camera still packs in a 6.2 megapixel CDD, 3x optical zoom, 8x digital zoom and a 2-inch LCD that previews clear photos whether indoor or outdoor.

The R725 features HP Real technologies including new features such as automatic in-camera red-eye removal and HP Design Gallery. The latter allows users to add artistic effects and borders right in the camera - including slimming features for your best possible photos. Ahem (wink)!

You'll also get improved Image Advice which provides real-time feedback on how to improve a specific picture the next time it is capture, and in-camera panorama stitching.

No pricing for any of the new Photosmart cameras is available but the HP R725 will go on sale by April 2006. More info at HP.com.
