In late August 2004, Hewlett-Packard Company announced their new range of digital cameras, the Photosmart M-series and R-series, with the M-series being the less expensive of the two. Cameratown was given a model from each of these series to review, the M407 and R607, and recently posted our evaluation of the latter to this website. The HP Photosmart M407 is a 4.1-megapixel camera with a total 18x zoom lens (3x optical, 6x digital), TTL auto focus with normal and macro ranges, integrated flash, and a 1.8-inch color LCD screen. The M407 comes with 16 megabytes of internal flash memory and a memory expansion slot for optional SD/MMC cards (ability to support memory cards up to 1GB.) Featuring seven shooting modes, the M407 also allows you to: Organize, edit, store, and protect your photos and video clips with HP's exclusive Image Zone software; E-mail photos without large attachments with HP Instant Share™ technology; Print still shots by connecting to any PictBridge-compatible printer; Capture the action using the short video-clip feature; Add audio clips to still shots; Choose ISO speeds of up to 400 or auto; Adjust white balance from one of five settings; Capture images in one of three color selections, full-color, sepia, or black & white; and Shoot photos in quick succession with burst mode. With a price of $199.95, the Hewlett-Packard Photosmart M407 is priced competitively with other 4-megapixel cameras. How does it perform? Read my review to find out!
