HP Photosmart R927


When: March 2006 Worth: $280

HP's Photosmart R927 offers 8 megapixels, a 3X optical zoom, and more image-manipulation functions than almost any digicam on the market. Will its creative modes unleash your inner artist?The R927 is the premiere model in hp's Photosmart line, and its biggest draw is the ability to alter your pictures far beyond correcting red eyes and color. With the R927, your photos can look like comics and even slim you down.
Images retained bright colors and crisp details in a variety of lighting conditions. the 3X optical zoom is a bit scant yet acceptable, and we didn't experience any purple fringing or blur in our test shots. High-contrast photos were easily remedied thanks to hp's Adaptive Light Bracketing feature, which transforms an image into three options: one with adaptive lighting off, another with it on low, and a third with it on high. Images adjusted to low looked the best in many instances with background details becoming clearer and shadows lifted. The R927 also shoots VGA video at 24 FPS; footage turned out a little grainy and should only be used for quick clips.
