ASIN: B00006LK1Q |
Product Description
Get brilliant photos near and far with the HP Photosmart 850 digital camera. With 56x total zoom (8x optical, 7x digital) and 4.1 MP-resolution you will get outstanding close-ups and beautiful quality for prints up to 20x30-inches. Then use HP instant share to select on your camera where photos will go - including e-mail addresses, printers and more. Choose the automatic mode or manual controls to select camera setting for ISO exposure, white balance, and more. And you can capture moments in sound and motion using the video clip with audio feature!Amazon.com Review
You have to love a digital camera with a high level of zoom. Hewlett-Packard's Photosmart 850 offers 8x optical zoom in its relatively compact (for the optical length) lens. The camera itself, however, weighs over a pound. The camera also goes right into its 7x digital after you hit the end of the optical range, letting you seamlessly get closer to the action.Unfortunately, the autofocus didn't always show us a crisp image on the LCD--the photos would show up sharply, but it was difficult to decide where exactly to line up the shot.
Other than minor issues with the zoom, we're enamored with the 850. Its 4.1-megapixel resolution results in deeply detailed images, while its 2-inch LCD displayed photos more brightly and in much higher quality than other digital camera LCDs. And the camera can record video (complete with audio) in clips of 288 x 216 pixel resolution and up to 60 seconds long. You can even record audio with your still photos to give them more life.
You'll want to spend some extra cash to upgrade the camera, however, as it only ships with a 16 MB Secure Digital media card. The optional docking station makes it easier to transfer images to your PC and also includes rechargeable batteries (the camera comes with four disposable AA batteries).
If you have a compatible HP printer, you can also print directly from the camera--no need to pass images through your PC. Although, if you do send your pictures to your computer, you can use HP's suite of tools, including HP's Instant Share, which lets you automatically send pictures to an e-mail recipient or the Web.
With its depth of resolution, high level of zoom, and versatility, the HP Photosmart 850 is a camera worth considering. --J. Curtis

Most Bang for the Buck.......2002-03-05
Don't Buy This!!!.......2002-02-05
Big TV, small price.......2001-10-11
1st impressions:
Guide+ feature is great
Sound is impressive for those of us with no modern sets
Picture is nice, but seems dark
Build quality is where RCA saves their money - there is not much build quality here - although the front looks nice. I would not purchase this unit if it was EVER going to be moved once it was set up.
Final thoughts:
Darkness of picture concerns me due to other people experiencing the same problem - easy to correct with black level adjustment. There is an inconsistency between the left and right sides in black level that is not due to a close unshielded speaker. Properly adjusted the picture is excellent. Glare is pronounced in bright rooms due to curved screen. Rear connections are poorly mounted and should be treated very carefully.
Overall:
Besides these issues and concerns I am satisfied with my purchase. Would probably be happier with Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi - but for the price this is the best available. If any of the above is distinctly familiar to you - you should buy a better TV. If it does not, and you get the set home and it works - you will be pleased.
