HP PhotoSmart 850
![]() Since the 850 has a separate mode for shooting with the self-timer instead of using a button to activate it, you won't have to reactivate the timer before each shot. | ![]() The rubber eyepiece ring doubles as a diopter dial--just twist it to adjust the viewfinder focus. |
![]() The five-way controller lets you navigate the menu, and its right and left arrows provide quick access to exposure compensation. | ![]() You can enter and leave playback mode quickly via the Play button; the button below it lets you mark photos for printing or e-mailing. |
![]() | ![]() You can save only five best-quality shots on the included 16MB SD memory, so don't forget to budget for a larger-capacity card. |
![]() | ![]() We got several hours of shooting time out of a set of AA nickel-metal-hydride rechargeables (the camera comes with alkaline cells). |
