Not sure what to do with all those photos once you’ve taken them? HP’s Photosmart R967 has your solution. This digicam packs an all-metal, eight-ounce body with 10-megapixel resolution and a 3X optical zoom.
 
Its three-inch LCD is one of the clearest we’ve seen, and with a 170-degree viewing angle, it’s perfect for impromptu slideshows. This digicam shoots bright, crisp stills, and built-in features like steady photo antishake mode and in-camera red-eye removal reduce blur and get rid of that demonic look. Seventeen image modes are included, covering everything from Snow to Theatre to Slimming.
 
When you’re done shooting, the R967 takes the work out of sharing your photos. HP’s Photosmart Express, accessed by a button on top of the camera, lets you print, e-mail, or mark photos to buy prints the next time you connect to a PC. Simply take a shot and then select where you want it to go (there are up to 34 different locations). We were impressed by how quickly the R967 synched with our PC and began following the instructions that we set for our test photos. An optional Photosmart 6222 Wireless Dock Base makes the R967 accessible via Wi-Fi; just dock it and you’re ready to share.
