HEWLETT PACKARD PHOTOSMART 618

Hewlett Packard (HP) is one of the true giants of the information age. Its products range from scientific instruments to personal computers, to the most popular line of laser printers in existence. Along the way, HP developed a popular line of digital cameras, inkjet printers, and scanners intended to make digital imaging accessible to the home and small-office user. They've apparently succeeded well in this, as the PhotoSmart 315 camera (reviewed elsewhere on this site) was the biggest-selling camera in the US in the 2000 Christmas season. The PhotoSmart 618 model offers more sophisticated exposure controls than the entry level PhotoSmart 215 and 315 models, plus a host of interesting new features (including time-lapse photography), while still maintaining an affordable price. The PhotoSmart 618 is a 2.1-megapixel digicam that provides enough exposure control and flexibility to interest sophisticated photo enthusiasts, while still offering a comfortable experience for the beginning photographer. Though small enough to fit into a coat pocket, the 618 has a pleasing heft and solidity when your hands grip the body. Like other PhotoSmart cameras we've tested, it ships with a complete software set that's very easy to use -- whether you're performing image enhancement or arranging multiple shots on a page to get the most out of your inkjet printer. The PhotoSmart looks like a solid midrange performer, in the criticalfull-featured, 2-megapixel" category. It would be a great choice for beginners who are looking for a basic digital camera that can grow with them as they investigate more advanced exposure and creative control.
