DigiCamReview have published their review of the 4 megapixel HP Photosmart M22 digital camera.
“Outside image quality was average, colour was quite rich and saturated, and noise seemed fairly low, the pictures had good contrast, although images were soft and as a result detail was average. Indoors - image quality was below average, images were soft and often fuzzy looking and lacked detail - focusing was occassionally a problem and red eye was quite noticable (although the built in red-eye reduction does help assuming you’re not wearing glasses). Images were generally fairly soft, and may benefit from sharpening. The maco mode was fairly poor as the closest you can get to the subject is around 20cm away.”

CNET have just reviewed the 4 megapixel HP Photosmart M23 camera.
“With the plethora of affordable digital cameras available now, we have to wonder why HP is offering one without an optical zoom. Equipped with only a 7X digital zoom, this 4-megapixel camera doesn’t cost much; however, sluggish performance and mediocre image quality overshadow the Photosmart M23’s ease of use, attractive design, and price point. If you’re in the market for an easy-to-use point-and-shoot camera, you’re better off paying a few more dollars or dropping to a 3-megapixel model and getting an optical zoom.”

DigitalCameraReview have published their review of the 4 megapixel HP Photosmart M22 digital camera.
“I really liked this camera. And in the family members and friends to whom I took pictures of with the M22, they liked it as well. They spoke a lot about its size and the quality of the pictures. In my mind, that makes for a very easy sell. The M22 is best used for those who are occasional photographers, or those who really want to play Photoshop games with a summer graphics class. It’s a very attractive model for a very attractive price. Not much to go wrong with here.”
