Hewlett Packard - HP Photosmart R937 Digital Camera Review

When my husband first gave me the Hewlett Packard - HP Photosmart R937 Digital Camera I was a little bit skeptical.  It was BIG, ok not that big, but bigger than my very first digital camera and the LCD touchscreen was a little imposing.  But we both knew I needed a better digital camera not only for personal use but professional, and it saves me money on photos of the kids!

Once I got the "hang of" the HP Digital camera it was so easy to use.  The touchscreen is not too "touchy" and even though it has been used and abused by myself and sticky preschool fingers it takes it all in stride and keeps clean and smooth surface.  I like that I can fix photos on screen first before uploading them and wasting time pulling up a photo program and making changes.  The fast touch option makes it easy to take pictures of my children while they are moving and playing and while the video is limited, I really don't use it much anyway so I don't mind.  

The one problem I have is that the battery doesn't really hold a charge long. If the camera has been sitting unused I have to charge it before leaving the house. I have the same problem with my scooba, and it's a pain. 

Now I don't leave home without my Hewlett Packard - HP Photosmart R937 Digital Camera and I am always being asked, "Can I see it?"  At an event in Miami (you know who you were!) my camera was passed around the table getting checked out by one and all as they took pictures of each other.  Other moms are jealous and dad's want to know where they can get one. If you want to take professional quality photos without being a professional, the Hewlett Packard - HP Photosmart R937 Digital Camera is a great camera choice for you.
