HP.gifDesigntechnica has reviewed the HP Photosmart R927,the latest offering by HP. The HP Photosmart R927 is an 8.2-megapixel point-and-shoot camera with a 3x optical zoom and an incredible 3-inch LCD screen. The camera is extremely stylish too and weighs just about weighs 7.8 ounces. The 3x zoom lens is equivalent to 35-105mm and has a 32MB of internal memory which can be extended via SD Cards. HP to give users more creative control has thrown in a number of special effects like Ink Dots, Watercolor, and Kaleidoscope etc.

Let’s now look at the pros and cons of the HP Photosmart R927:
Pros: Exceptional image quality, Decent LCD screen, Good battery life, and User Friendly Interface.
Cons: Slow video frame rate, Saving large files cumbersome and Accessory dock required to watch videos on TV.

Finally the website concludes in their review “anyone looking for a compact, attractive 8MP point-and-shoot digicam should give this camera serious consideration. Although the R927 had some flaws, the large LCD screen, the great menus, the built-in special effects and—most important—the photos it took put it on the plus side of the ledger. Still for the next go-around HP engineers should figure a way to juice up the time it takes to save a shot. And for God’s sake, put a video out on the supplied dock rather than forcing buyers to shell out another $80 for an accessory".
