Introduced at CES in January 2006 along side of the 5-megapixel Photosmart M425 and 6-megapixel M525, the HP Photosmart M527 surpasses its sister cameras in resolution and features. The HP Photosmart M527 is a middle-tier entry-level camera in the HP line. The 6-megapixel camera has a 3x optical zoom lens and 2-inch LCD and is priced at $149.99.
Besides its low price, HP boasts that users can bypass the PC with the camera’s built-in editing functions, including the highly publicized slimming picture effect. For easier printing and photo sharing, the HP M527 has a dedicated Photosmart Express button to tag photos before printing and includes a software connection to the HP-owned Snapfish photo-sharing website.
