HP Photosmart 945/xi Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 7.20 (out of 10)
The Hewlett Packard Photosmart 945 digital camera represents the portion of the HP Photosmart line aimed at "enthusiast" photographers. . . . .a model that is very clearly an evolution of the 850, with a higher resolution five megapixel sensor and what looks to be the exact same Fuji-designed lens. Along with the improved resolution, HP's new model aims to answer some of its predecessor's limitations, with a more professional looking charcoal grey body, better control layout, new manual focusing features, a higher ISO rating of 400 and a host of other updates. . . .

When it was first announced at the end of 2003, the HP Photosmart 945 was at the cutting edge of digital camera design, with a 5 megapixel sensor, Adaptive Lighting Technology that balanced the contrast between darkness and light, an 8x optical zoom equivalent to 37-300mm on a 35mm camera, and a competitive price tag. Nearly one year on, in a rapidly changing market with 5, 6 and 7 megapixel cameras now common-place, how well does the HP Photosmart 945 stand up to the competition? Read my review to find out if this camera still deserves your attention.

For the average consumer this camera provides a lot of features and a good price/performance ratio. The zoom range is greater than most other digicams on the market and the price is lower than any of its 5MP competitors with similar lenses. 5MP represents current "state of the art" in digital cameras of this type and is probably close to the limit of just how many pixels you can usefully cram into a 1/1.8" sensor.
