Cons Pictures grainy in low-light settings. Could be built a little more solid.
Recommended it? Yes

My Mom has never had a digital camera, though she's wanted one for years. Being the self-proclaimed "illiterate", she didn't know how to go about buying a camera. Hence, my wife and I decided that we would buy her this camera and an AIO photo printer.

Good at the Beginning, Bad in the End

Pros Great pictures and lovely editing options.
Cons Small circles on some picture, grainy in low-light, small battery life.
Recommended it? Yes

Never had I ever owned a camera so powerful as the Photosmart R725. (Then again, never had I owned a digital camera before.) I was extremely impressed with the clarity of the camera. Then when I learned more about taking pictures, I became disappointed over and over again.

The Beginning,... Read full review »

Pros Great quality pictures-- easy to use. Not complicated!
Cons Button for the video is too close to the picture taking button
Recommended it? Yes

Everyone who has seen or used this camera since I bought it has loved it. It is easy to use (just point and shoot) and the quality of the pictures is great.

If you are a regular person who did not major in photography and just wants a decent camera to take pictures of your family that... Read full review »

Great Camera!

Pros Small and easy to carry around.
Cons I haven't found one yet!
Recommended it? Yes

Not that this matters, but I got this camera as a Valentine's Day gift after complaining about my old one. The quality with the R725 is amazing.

The camera is very easy to use and it only takes a few minutes of familiarizing yourself with the buttons to know where everything is.

Great camera, great price!

Pros Long battery life, great in camera editing features
Cons Flash is bright, function buttons could be better located
Recommended it? Yes

This is my third digital camera but my first HP. I was a dedicated Olympus user, but decided I needed something less bulky. I was torn between this one and the R727, the only difference being the display and therefore the price. I decided I didn't need the 2.5" display so went for this one, the... Read full review »

Not so hot....

byflyguy2u Dec 29, 2007
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great pictures in lots of light
Cons Picture quality in low light settings Night time/no flash picture quality
Recommended it? No

This camera is nowhere near the picture quality that it should be at (given its 6.2 MP rating). The pictures only come out nicely in abundant light settings - anything else causes graininess. Also, frequently small circles come up in the pictures and good luck trying to take a picture at night or... Read full review »

Pros Inexpensive
Cons Easy to use when they work

Purchased two identical cameras for business use. Error code appeared short time after purchase on one. HP replaced it but now the other one that was originally purchased also has error code and shuts down. Not at all satisfied with product. Over 30 minutes on phone with technical help was not very...

Not as good as other similarly priced cameras

bytravelator07 Jan 16, 2007

Pros Good Daylight photos. Easy to use
Cons Cheap feel. Performs unpredictably
Recommended it? No

I got this camera as a Christmas present. Right off the bat I began to have issues. When I inserted a 2GB memory card, the camera reports it as being locked. Mine never gave me the chance to even format the card. A 512mb worked better, but then I noticed this camera seems to take a very long time... Read full review »
