The HP Photosmart R927 is one of three cameras being showcased at CES 2006 by HP as part of their enhanced R-series. The R927 improves upon previous HP models by adding an extensive in-camera editing system to a sleeker and more stylish design that is paired with a 1/1.8 inch, 8.2 MP CCD. This slim point-and-shoot camera comes in a stainless steel body, has an impressively sized 3-inch LCD screen, is a mere 3.3 inches across, and IS capable of engaging with WiFi services that can link to televisions, PCs, and other external devices. HP offers users the opportunity to wirelessly upload images onto Snapfish, a website which lets subscribers display and order prints of both still and digital video clips for themselves, as well as pre-approved friends, family and non-Snapfish members. Those invited to view these files need not pay a service fee, though they will need to register with the website prior to viewing.

In addition to these features, the in-camera Design Gallery editing suite stands in place of basic image editing programs by providing simple preset borders, color effects, and image transformations. This model is the highest-end new R-series camera, and should enter the market at an MSRP of roughly $400. The camera comes with 32 MB of internal memory, a 3x optical zoom lens, and a surprising number of manual control options given its intended point-and-shoot market.

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
