5.0 out of 5 stars HP R927 IS AWESOME!, April 10, 2007

I very carefully researched the vast world of digital cameras before actually commiting to purchasing one for my upcoming trip to Europe. By far, for the money and features, this camera IS AWESOME!! 8.2 MGP and the HUGE screen is absolutely amazing and it takes WONDERFUL pictures. The ONLY downfall is that it charges only on a DOCK, (not just a cord) but the dock is small and VERY light, so it travels easily. That's it- everything else about it very cool. Onscreen finishing, effects, tinting, etc. I didn't need any sorts of bells or whistles as i have little camera experience, and with this its just point and shoot- and the extras aren't daunting in difficulty.
all in all, its a sweet camera at a sweet price!

4.0 out of 5 stars It does what I want it to do and more!, August 19, 2006

First you must learn how to use this camera, but after you do, it is an absolute joy. You can take pictures in color, b&w, and in antique brown tone, enhance the color, sharpen, thin the fat, make artistic touches, stitch together landscapes to make murials. Landscapes are wonderful. Up-close photos are not washed out. As for using only one hand, I always use two hands, so that is unimportant to me anyway. You must adjust the view screen to see outdoors on a bright day, but then it is easy to see. HP offers classes on this camera for free, so there is no reason to not learn to use it. Do invest in a hard sided case for it, an extra battery and charger. Lastly, it fits in my purse, and I don't carry a huge purse.

Only down side, it does take getting use to. It is a computer and not a simple point and shoot. But what a way to go!

I purchased this camera in order to create clean, large poster size images as well as crisp smaller images for my business. This camera does not disappoint! The camera is easy to use as well as having many options and functions that will help even the most basic beginner take great photos as well as keeping the advanced photographer happy. I highly recommend this camera!
