| arena_blanca's Full Review: Hewlett Packard Photosmart 733 Digital Camera |
This camera was an impulse buy for me. I wish I had researched it beforehand. The number one con is the long processing time. Even trying to capture my son's smile was impossible because it says "processing" for a minimum of three seconds after every shot, and sometimes up to 15 seconds, during which time you can't take other shots.
The second thing that infuriated me was the camera's inability to adjust to indoor lighting. I would take one shot and it would come out dark. I don't have professional lights but I would flip on one house light off to the side somewhere, take the same shot and now it would come out to bright. I would try different combinations of lights while my subjects got impatient, but getting a photo indoors is a matter of luck.
