That's not an excuse that needs to be used with the HP R937. HP has made room for a bigger screen on the back by eliminating most of the buttons. The R937's large 3.6-inch display, as on some of the Sony Cyber-shot compact cameras, doubles as a touch screen from which you can navigate menus and manipulate photos after they have been captured. The touch-screen software includes a virtual keyboard that allows you to type on the screen when you want to add e-mail or tags to photos. You also use it for editing photos right on the camera. HP's in-camera editing software now removes red-eye and skin blemishes from humans, demon eyes from pets and even extra weight from people, with its slimming feature."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/R937_Back.jpg" /><br /><br />This looks like such an amazing screen. Although I just hope that the fact that it is a touch screen doesn't constant interfere with photo taking with the stray touch of the screen when taking pictures. The camera is an 8 MP, 3x optical zoom, digital antishake capable device with an SD slot make room for lots of pictures. It will sell for around $300 in a couple of months.
