User Reviews for HP Photosmart R742

  • Reviewed by: karmaleyez6

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Nice color

    Weaknesses: None

    Overall Evaluation: I am a digital photo beginner and very pleased with the ease of operation. I have a weak wrist and its easy to handle. To be honest I must say I am a blue fiend, and the camera has everything I need to learn how to take great digital photos. Slide show is a added bonus.

    Weaknesses: none

    Overall Evaluation: Turned out to be much better than I expected. Give crystal clear pictures.It comes with a rechargeable battery, USB cable and wall charger. It has a red eye feature that lets you take the red eye out of any picture you take. And you can add frames and or change the color, (Black & White or Sepia) and you can view a slide show right from your camera!
