Some annoying faults

Some nice features and good quality, bright pictures, but let down by some irritating idiosynchracies - the most serious of which is its refusal to take a picture whilst it "processes". The automatic red-eye reduction is erratic, sometimes correcting only one eye, sometimes mistaking something else for a red eye. You also can't charge the camera or upload photos without using the supplied HP cradle, which is a nuisance; far better to simply have a direct cable connection on the camera itself. The camera takes HP's R07 lithium-ion rechargeable battery, which is very fiddly to remove and expensive to replace. The 3" LCD screen is very nice & great for reviewing pictures but, of course, by having such a large screen you sacrifice an optical viewfinder. This could have been a great camera but, unfortunately because of these problems, in day to day use it's frustrating to live with and I can't really recommend the R927. This is a shame as it includes some innovative features and can produce excellent results, if you have the patience to persevere.
An okay camera.

I must agree with this Obie guy, ISO at 400 when competitors like cannon, Kodak are talking about 1000 ISO and upwards,i think hp designers need to rethink issues. The pictures I took outside were not so wonderful (especially in the sun). I will crank up the saturation and see what happens. I really don’t understand why it didn’t have 5x zoom like the R817 and R818 or why I have to pay $80 to view my pictures on the TV.
It has nice picture quality, Nice 170 degrees LCD view, battery life is okay, controls are wonderful for a beginner, the styling is nice, and at $399.99 I think it’s nicely priced but if you can afford about $50 more just go for the Sony DSC-N1
overall a good camera

1.The ISO at 400 is much low that others in it's range.
2.I would have preffered more zoom.
3.I had to crank up saturation for outside pictures.
I must say though it has it's flaws, the picture quality will make me recommend it.
Excelent Camera
