Photo Jottings

Hewlett Packard floods market with nine new cameras aimed at people who like convenience, and don’t care too much for good-quality photos.  I don’t mean to sound pessimistic, but HP has never been much for high image quality.  It took a lot to muster up enough enthusiasm to post this article.  But, lo! All is not lost!  Among the nine lackluster cameras, HP brings forth the R937, which has a unique 3.6″ touch screen LCD.  Also, it has the built in “slimming feature” which comes in very handy in the USA.  Somewhere I’ve read it shaves 10lbs off ones behind, a good start but more is needed–much more!!!:)  Don’t forget the “blemish remover” or “touch up” feature.  This is a good in-camera tool for removing those unsightly cigarette burns from shirts and trousers before printing your pictures out.  There’s another bright spot too.  The Photosmart E337 5MP camera is priced at $79.99, which would be a good item to keep stowed on the dashboard of the car.  Oddly, HP hasn’t released much information on the new cameras, in the mean time,  we’ll wait with bated breath!
