HP Photosmart R967

This camera has a big LCD, an antishake mode, and panorama stitching, but its battery life is skimpy.

Easy-to-use menus, In-camera red-eye reduction

Low battery life, Effects processing can be slow

HP Photosmart R967 Digital Camera (10.0MP, 3664x2752, 3x Opt, 32MB Internal Memory, SD Slot)

The 10-megapixel Photosmart R967 ($400 as of 10/6/06, including camera dock) is very similar to its predecessor, the 8.2-megapixel R927. Like the R927, this point-and-shoot has a big, 3-inch LCD and a compact, sturdy metal body. For an extra $50, the...

Easy-to-use menus ; In-camera red-eye reduction

Low battery life ; Effects processing can be slow

Nearly identical to the R927, the R967 adds an antishake mode and slightly better battery life. A camera dock is included.

HP Photosmart R967: Big screen and 10 Megapixels

It's not a DSLR, but short of interchangeable lenses and a view finder, Craig Ellison thinks the HP Photosmart R967 has all of the features you could want in a digital camera.

HP Photosmart R967

The HP Photosmart R967 is simplicity itself. It is self-descriptive with a built-in system and numerous helpful features. Its image quality is good, except for above average noise at all ISO sensitivities. Since it is equipped with a 10 megapixels...

Nicely saturated colors, Conservative exposure, Great LCD visibility, Powerful flash, Fast and responsive, Multiple bracketing modes, In-camera panorama stitching, Image advice and help system

Noticeable barrel distortion, Slow shot-to-shot speed at slow shutter-speeds, Panorama stitching significantly reduces resolution, LCD blanks during continuous drive, LCD view very grainy in low-light, No optical viewfinder, Very few external controls,...

The HP Photosmart R967 is an intriguing camera to recommend. Image quality is good except for noise levels which are mostly noticeable in large prints or low-light photography. White-balance is superb with automatic white-balance handling most types of...

HP Photosmart R967 review

The world's first camera with a dedicated fat mode

Great value for money

Poor performance

HP's hoping to tick so many boxes with the R967 that it ends up trying to be all things to all people

HP Photosmart R967 10Mp compact camera

The HP Photosmart R967 has a big LCD, an antishake mode, and panorama stitching, but its battery life is skimpy.

Easy-to-use menus and in-camera red-eye reduction are definite plus points for the 10Mp HP Photosmart R967, but that battery life is a real let-down.
