Picture Quality / Size Options (8.0)
There are plenty of choices as far as image quality goes. The default for the HP R927 is a normally compressed 8-megapixel size. There is higher resolution available, but you have to find it in the Custom section of the Image Quality menu option. The following choices are the preset image sizes: 8 MP, 8 MP Normal, 5 MP, 2 MP, and VGA. The Custom setting lets users choose any of those image sizes and then choose how much compression each file undergoes. The compression is expressed in one to four stars. At the finest resolution in the Custom menu, the R927’s internal memory could only hold 9 pictures.
 
Picture Effects Mode (8.75)
The HP Photosmart R927 has more picture effects than most digital cameras. This model even has an entire portion of its menu system dedicated to special effects in playback. The Design Gallery has options to add artistic effects and borders, remove red eyes, and do simpler editing tasks like modify color, rotate and crop. All of the choices come with live previews, so users never have to unknowingly commit to an ugly frame or undesirable color mode. The Artistic Effects include the following: Ink Dots, Cartoon, Watercolor, Center Focus, Posterize, Soft Glow, Retro, Vintage, Slimming, Sky Color, Ground Color, Kaleidoscope, and Solarize. The Slimming effect has been widely marketed as a great way to lose ten pounds in a picture, but this doesn’t just slim the waist. It elongates the whole picture so you’ll have a thin waist and a long nose and chin. Users can modify the color of the image with these color modes: Black & White, Sepia, Black & White Tints, and Color Tints. Borders can be added around pictures, and users can control how thick the border is. Soft Edge, Inset Border, Torn Edge, Burned Edge, Spatter, Oval, Circle, Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, and Square are the available borders. Users can automatically remove red-eye, crop pictures to landscape or portrait orientations, and rotate images with the multi-selector. All of these options are only available in the playback mode.

In the recording mode, there are a few picture effects: Contrast, Saturation, and Sharpness. Each of these has High, Medium, and Low options.

    This professionally-geared ultrazoom offers some of the best color accuracy we've ever seen. It's a shame the other scores weren't quite so strong. Read full 16-part review

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47

    Panasonic resists the urge to cram more megapixels and more focal length into their latest ultrazoom. The FZ47 instead focuses on image quality and features, resulting in an incredibly strong camera that we loved shooting with. Read full 16-part review
