Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H7 Review

Review Team — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 22:11:07 +0000

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 is a 8.1 megapixel digital point and shoot camera. The DSC-H7 is a little larger and has a nice grip that helps it fit comfortably in your hands. It definitely isn’t a little compact camera but but the increased size come with a very impressive lens. The Carl Zeiss lens packs a 15x optical zoom; much better than your standard point and shoot digital camera. The Sony DSC-H7 has a list full of features at a pretty reasonable price of around $350.

HP Photosmart M537 Review

Review Team — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 00:22:24 +0000

The HP Photosmart M537 is silver, 6.0 megapixel digital point and shoot camera. It is pretty typical of the many cameras in its price range with similar features. The Photosmart M537 has a 2.5 inch LCD screen on the back and has some extra features built-in that you won’t find on some other manufacturers. The camera itself is somewhat bland looking but it definitely gets the job done. You can usually find this camera for under $100 based on the store and any digital camera sales that may be going on.

The HP Photosmart M537 is a pretty typical camera for this price range. It’s not bulky but its also not super compact. The zoom and other features are also pretty typical for cameras in this range. One of the unique features of the Photosmart M537 are some of the built-in features like red eye removal and other picture editing options. Many cameras include this with prepackaged software but these features can be accessed right from your digital camera. The HP Photosmart M537 is a great option for anyone looking for a very low cost, average quality digital point and shoot camera.

HP PhotoSmart E337 Review

Review Team — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 04:08:10 +0000

The HP PhotoSmart E337 is a pretty simple and average digital point and shoot camera. It is one of the cheapest digital cameras available today. HP continues to target the lower priced market with basic digital point and shoot cameras that exclude some of the extra features that other manufacturers include at a slightly higher price. The HP PhotoSmart E337 is an all silver camera with 5 megapixel resolution and a rear LCD viewfinder. The PhotoSmart E337 is really inexpensive at only around $80.

HP PhotoSmart E337 Features & Specifications Review

Camera Type: Digital Point and Shoot
Resolution: 5 megapixels
Screen: 1.5 inch LCD
Digital Zoom: 5x
Optical Zoom: N/A
Movie Mode: Yes (records audio)
Built-in Memory: 16 MB
Memory Type: SD (secure digital)
Warranty: 3 months
Dimensions: 2.5 inches high, 3.7 inches wide, 1.2 inches deep, 0.4 lbs
Shooting Programs: Action, Sunset, Theatre, Landscape, Portrait mode, Night portrait
Timer: 10 sec
Red Eye Reduction: Yes

The HP PhotoSmart E337 scores some points for being a 5 megapixel camera at only $80 but it is lacking many features. The zoom abilities are very limited, the LCD screen is small compared to other manufacturers and you can find some more advanced features for not much more money. However, if you’re looking for a cheap camera with very basic features, the PhotoSmart E337 will get the job done.

Kodak EasyShare C613 Review

Review Team — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 03:49:17 +0000

The Kodak EasyShare C613 is a 6.2 megapixel digital point and shoot camera. The C613 is fairly compact and fits easily and comfortably in your hand. The EasyShare C613 is an attractive looking camera on the outside with a silver exterior and 2.5 inch LCD on the back. We previously reviewed the Kodak EasyShare C513 and the Easyshare C613 reviews similarly because all the features are the nearly the same except the C613 offers a 6.2 megapixel resolution. The Kodak EasyShare C613 is pretty inexpensive for right around $100.

Digital Zoom: 5x
Optical Zoom: 3x
Image Stabilization: Yes

Just like the EasyShare C513, the C613 include all the popular and necessary features for the average photographer. For the price, it’s a pretty decent camera. In general quality, it doesn’t quite match up to some more expensive brands like Canon or Sony but you can’t really beat the price. It’s only about $20 more expensive than the C513 but the 6.2 megapixels will result in a better picture. For a sub $100 compact digital camera, the Kodak EasyShare C613 is a pretty good deal.

It includes important features like image stabilization, simple to use menu’s and an overall good picture quality. The Photosmart Mz67 features a mostly black exterior with a few small silver accents. The 2.5 inch LCD screen is about average for camera’s in this price range. A review of the HP Photosmart Mz67 finds that it is a great camera for the average user and helps them take excellent pictures with red eye reduction, anti shake and other key features. The Mz67 can be found at under $200 making it a very affordable camera.

The HP Photosmart Mz67 is a pretty feature packed camera for its size. It’s not as compact as similar Canon and other models but it exceeds in other areas like its digital and optical zoom. Many camera’s in the compact class in this price range only have 3x optical zoom and similar digital zoom. Overall, the Photosmart Mz67 isn’t as flashy and trendy as some other compact camera models but it still takes a quality picture and exceeds some of the features of other cameras.
