HP Photosmart M537 6Mp digital camera

 

The 6Mp HP Photosmart M537 is a basic point-and-shoot camera with a 3X zoom, a 2.5in LCD, and a very low cost - around £95.

Despite a generous software bundle and long battery life, low image quality makes the HP Photosmart M537 a less attractive option than some other comparably priced cameras. Latest camera reviews:

HP Photosmart M537 review: HP Photosmart M537

 

HP's Photosmart M537 is the archetypal budget camera. It's not particularly large or small, it doesn't look terribly shiny or sleek, and it doesn't have any notably unique features. This is completely understandable; sub-$150 snapshot cameras don't...

Extremely simple to use; handy in-camera editing features.

No exposure control other than exposure compensation; slow performance; poor image quality.

This inexpensive, simple HP Photosmart M537 digital camera is easy to use, but its pictures aren't so easy on the eyes.

Anti-shake mode

Disappointing image quality
