When I say "features", I'm not talking about the R927's 3X zoom lens or huge 3-inch LCD. Rather, I'm talking about the various bells and whistles on the camera, many of them exclusive to HP. They include Adaptive Lighting (a kind of "digital flash"), Image Advice (tells you how to improve your photos), in-camera panorama stitching, an elaborate help system, and much more. Of course, none of these features matter if a camera can't take good quality photos. Does the Photosmart R927 give you toys AND great photo quality? Find out now in our review!"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/hpphotosmartr927.jpg" /><br /><br />I am really impressed by the fact that 8MP cameras are now available in such small packages. It however is unfortunate that the picture quality is the weak point in the camera and the LCD blackout during continuous shooting is certainly quite annoying. I think the Canon and Casio cameras trump this camera quite easily.

I am not. I would be impressed if it had top quality outputs in such a small package. As much as we (enthusiasts, journalists, etc) try to educate regular consumers that megapixels does not mean much, companies know consumers will spec-shop and cater to that. How unfortunate.

Personally, I think perhas the flash memory industry is behind all of this! :lol:
