HP Photosmart R707 review

 

Intro Looking like a million bucks, the Photosmart R707 was the first to break the mold in HP's formerly boring design scheme. This 5-megapixel camera, with its 3X zoom, doesn't offer many manual exposure controls, though it provides several...

Attractive, compact, and portable; excellent in-camera help system; some unique and useful features.

Average image quality; slow recharge with bundled charger.

Although a great camera for newbies who need their hands held, the R707's photos aren't too impressive.

HP Photosmart R707 Review

 

At press briefings during PMA 2004 HP staff quietly admitted they had finally realized that the company's digital cameras suffered from something of an 'image problem'. Big, seemingly designed to resemble a house brick, and made from the kind of...

Good resolution, clean images with few processing artifacts and no over-sharpening Vivid yet natural colors Efficient noise reduction - even at high ISO and with long exposures Excellent auto white balance in all but the most extreme situations Fast...

Only two aperture settings An ISO 50 setting would have been nice to cut down the need for noise reduction Even the best quality setting uses quite heavy JPEG compression Some fall-off of sharpness in the corners, especially at widest aperture...

First impressions of the R707 are overwhelmingly positive - it is beautifully built, feels 'right' in the hand and is responsive enough for most every day photography. HP's new 'Real Life Technologies' - from the extensive in-camera help to the red-eye...

HP Photosmart R707 Review

 

The recommended retail price of the HP Photosmart R707 in the UK is £199 and in the US it is $339.99

150 for a 5 megapixel digital camera sounds like a bargain, and on the whole the HP Photosmart R707 fits the bill very well. With a stylish and extremely well-built exterior, the HP Photosmart R707 impresses from the moment that you take it out of the...

Digital Cameras - Hewlett Packard Photosmart R707 Digital Camera Review, Information, Specifications

 

The HP PhotoSmart R707 left me with distinctly mixed feelings. On the one hand, it captured good-looking photos with accurate color, even if its images lacked the "punch" delivered by the deliberate over-saturation of most consumer digicams on the...

The front of the R707 is almost flat, with the exception of a very slight protrusion around the lens, and a deep recess at the lower right hand corner (when looking at the camera from the rear) which serves as a grip for your right index finger to gain...

HP Photosmart R707 5.1MP Digital Camera Review

 

The R707 is a very capable camera, with lots of options and available user controls. It can be used as a simple "point and shoot" camera by beginners, but allows the more experienced photographer to make choices of almost every shooting parameter.
