Review: "If simple is what you crave, then the HP Photosmart M425 may be calling your name. We bought the 5.0-megapixel HP Photosmart M425 at Best Buy for $150 (street) and found it to be a pretty good camera.
The M425 features a 3X optical zoom with a 6mm-to-18mm range (which is equivalent to a 35mm lens with an approximately 38mm-to-105mm zoom) and corresponding maximum f-stops of f/2.8 to f/4.8, similar specs to what you might find in a camera costing up to $100 more. But as you would expect at such a low price, the M425 is far from perfect. I found that it adds some pretty noticeable purple fringing—especially with a bright background (not just trees against the sky). Otherwise, the images were quite well exposed and clear."
