HP Photosmart R507

Posted by T3 Online on Fri 7 Jan 2005

A bite-sized budget snapper that's far from stingy when it comes to features and picture quality

Although the 3x zoom lens says Pentax, HP's new cameras are anything but copycats. This one's only an entry-level, four-megapixel model, but it has the posh digital flash and red-eye- removal features previously seen on its flagship cameras. There's plenty of other good stuff here - a 1.5-inch screen that's sharp (albeit iffy in bright light), photos that look acceptable, and an okay movie-clip mode. You even get aperture priority and burst shooting modes, which is a nice surprise on a budget device. All this makes for a good beginner's cam, but experienced photographers might prefer the five-megapixel HP R707, which only costs £25 extra.
