The Hewlett Packard Photosmart 850 marks HP's first entry
into the prosumer digital camera market since the ill-fated 912. The 850
has a very distinctive design, the front dominated by the big F2.8 - F3.1
eight times optical zoom lens and soft rubber hand grip. The four megapixel
market didn't have a big zoom digital camera, until now, the 850's lens
provides reach into the 300 mm equiv. range which means you're going to
be able to get very close with (hopefully) plenty of resolution. One item
some people may note as missing is image stabilisation, with such a long
zoom range it may be difficult to keep the camera still enough without
a tripod.
In my opinion HP have been a little naughty with the
megapixel label on this camera, because it's not produced in Japan it's
exempt from the JCIA's advice on marking digital cameras with the effective
pixel count instead of the sensor pixel count. All other current four
megapixel digital cameras are marked 4.0 megapixels and produce the same
size image as the 850 (2272 x 1712).
