HP Photosmart R837 Review
Review Summary
Reader Score: 7.50 (out of 10)
Review (Summary): "The HP Photosmart R837 is a new 7.2 megapixel compact digital camera with a 3x, 39-118mm zoom lens and large 3 inch LCD screen. HP has injected some stylish design elements into the R837, in the shape of a distinctive curved body and vertically sliding lens cover, reminiscent of the Sony Cybershot T series of cameras.

OK, so the HP Photosmart R837 doesn't contain any bells and whistles to get a photo enthusiast's blood pumping, but that's like criticizing a slice of toast for not being a full English breakfast. It's therefore hard to take offense to this cute little camera; the R837 is well constructed, fairly priced, intuitive to use, and delivers images of reasonable quality for what it is..."

Review (Summary): "Budget cameras usually don't offer a lot of options. You can probably find an inexpensive camera that can take decent pictures, but you'll be hard pressed to find one with any flashy gimmicks or stylish design points. HP tries to buck this trend with the Photosmart R837, a flashy, fashionable, sub-$250 digital camera that has a unique design aspect normally found in "stylish" cameras costing almost twice as much.

We were not impressed with the pictures produced by the R837. While noise never reaches horrific levels, thanks in part to the R837's meager top sensitivity of ISO 400, it is more prominent than we typically expect at each of its ISO settings. Even at ISO 100, which should usually be quite clean, we clearly saw noise when viewing images on computer monitors, though this noise likely won't be as noticeable in prints. ..."
