HP Photosmart M525 Digital Camera Review

HP Photosmart M525 has overall compact stylish design for one-handed shots and intuitive buttons, therefore, easy to use point and shoot. On-camera button to easily order and share photos on Snapfish using HP Photosmart Express. HP Photosmart Express makes sharing, printing and saving digital photos easy. HP Real Life technologies help take the guesswork out of digital photography and make it easy to produce great photos that are crisp, realistic and true-to-life. HP Real Life technologies include HP Design Gallery that adds artistic effects and borders right in the camera (you can choose up to 10 different borders, including burnt, soft or torn edges, 12 different artistic effects, such as kaleidoscope, retro and slimming, and four unique color tints), in-camera red-eye removal to remove red-eye while images are still in the camera and HP Image Advice, which immediately provides real-time feedback to users about how to improve a specific picture the next time it is captured. Optional HP Photosmart 6221 Digital Camera Dock lets users easily save, view, print and share photos on a PC, Snapfish and TV, and recharge in-camera batteries. Add wireless capabilities by purchasing the HP Photosmart 6222 Wireless Dock Base to share your photos via a wireless home network.
Due to its lack of manual functions, this is a compact camera for family pictures mostly. Picture quality is not very impressing: a lot of noise and artefacts. Since this product is now discontinued, its going to be harder and harder to find a new model of this type, but, don’t worry, there are better cameras from HP on the market.
