Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HP Photosmart R967 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical ZoomCustomer Review: So far So good Summary: 4 Stars
I rated this with 3 stars because it does not go in half increments would have rated it 3.5 stars if I could, because it does have some minor issues but for the most part I have been happy with it.
The good:
1. Very large screen. 3"
2. On camera photo adjustment such as cropping, red eye, Panoramic, slimming feature ( everyone likes this feature).
3. Very good picture quality.
4. Mode features are intuitive.
5. pretty compact for large screen.
6. Video feature pretty good for a camera lets you choose different resolutions and will let you zoom while videoing. the ISO is pretty good on this as well for shooting at night. Will let you run the video for as long as you have memory or battery life. My older Canon would only let me do 30 second shots. Would have been nice if flash would also act as light.
Comes with 32 meg in the camera. Very small but would let you get a few shots in if you filled up your memory card.
The not so good.
1. anti-shake feature does not work with mode feature for night shots had to use auto mode to get best picture. Would need a tripod for night shots.
2. With the buttons on top handling the camera can cause you to accidentally turn the camera on when you don't want to.
3. the battery compartment/ memory card door is difficult to close and lock. it takes an effort to lock the tab. opening is OK though.
4. docking, which at first sounded like a plus. is not the easiest to use. the camera does not slip into this easily, I had to pick it up and line it up to use. It will charge the camera for you while you down load files though.
5. The battery life is not great, I guess a trade off for a large screen and compact design.
The BAD:
1. I had camera lock up on me 3 times since owning it. (only a month so far, got it after Thanksgiving 2006)seems there is an issue sometimes when saving or viewing video on the camera. Had to remove battery to get the camera working again. It froze when I went to try to view the video on the camera. It also happened to me when I was saving a panoramic shot. It will also take long time to go from taking a picture to using the video right after each other I would say around 10 seconds. This can be a long time when you are trying to get a shot quickly. I am planning to contact HP to see if this is a common issue and if it is will they offer a firm ware update on this camera to correct these issues.
Don't get me wrong, I do like this camera. I have been a fan of HP for a while. I will update this opinion if things change as I use this more.
