Giving your subjects a trimmer figure isn’t the only thing the HP Photosmart R927 can do. Like its predecessor the HP Photosmart R727, the R927 offers automatic red-eye removal, 17 shooting modes, five focus settings, and on-screen image advice. But the R927 adds a larger, 3-inch screen, the HP Photosmart 6220 Camera Dock, and 8.2 megapixels of resolution.

Like most recent HP camera models, the R927 features HP’s Design Gallery. The Design Gallery provides users with in-camera image-editing tools that are both fun and easy to use. It lets you add artistic effects to a photo such as Cartoon, Kaleidoscope, or Watercolor. Transforming photos into masterpieces while they were still in the camera.

HP’s Photosmart R927 offers 8 megapixels, a 3X optical zoom, and more image-manipulation functions than almost any digicam on the market.

The HP Photosmart R927 isn’t the most chic digicam on the market, but it takes very good photos and offers tons of scene modes and in-camera tweaks. Photos looked clear and vibrant overall, and its Design Gallery improves snaps before printing and provides creative controls not found elsewhere.

The daylight test shot revealed very little noise, but the flash test shot displayed a fair amount of colored noise. Both had decent color, although the daylight shot had a slight magenta color cast and the flash shot was tinged yellow. There was some purple fringing in both images, but nothing too conspicuous.

Overall, the HP Photosmart M425 was better in the daylight shot than in the flash shot. I found the flash coverage to be pretty good, but it was slightly uneven, resulting in some vignetting.

The middling lens on this camera is compensated for by above average software and features like the built-in help menu. Once you have accepted the unconventional styling, it is average to use. HP Photosmart R927 isn’t a camera to fall in love with. However, if you want a practical good value camera with some very good software this is a strong contender.

HP Photosmart R727 is packed with innovative features — too many to list here. Some of my favorites include Adaptive Lighting, in-camera panorama stitching, Photosmart Express (photo sharing), and a redeye reduction system that really works. You won’t find many manual controls on this camera, though — in fact, there’s just one: white balance. That means that the camera makes its own decisions, which isn’t always the best, as the night shot illustrated.

The built-in Photosmart Express feature lets you e-mail, print, and share your photos by tagging photos on the camera in advance. Connect the camera to your Mac or PC and the photos are sent to the appropriate destination. The software side is a bit clunky, with a sluggish web-based interface and the fact that e-mailed photos aren’t really sent to the recipient — they go to Snapfish instead. The camera has a decent movie mode, though the frame rate is lower than on most of the competition.
