HP E427
When you think of HP, you think of computers and printers. Maybe you think more specifically of photo printers. The HP E427 is a brilliant addition to HP’s long line of consumer electronics, and is sure to please those who have been interested in purchasing an HP digital camera. If you’re looking to buy an HP E427 camera, a quick review of HP’s website will give you all the information you need to make your choice. In this review, we give a brief review of the relatively cheap HP E427 camera.

Camera Features
The HP E427 offers a 6.0 total pixel count, with 6.4 of effective pixel resolution. With a color depth of 30 bits stored in JPEG format, printed images will show no discernable change to the color or detail of the stored digital image. The f/3.5 lens has a fixed focus length, while the 5x digital zoom offers great opportunities when it comes to setting up your subject in the frame. The HP E427 camera even offers video clips, recorded in QVCA format at 30 frames per second.

With a shutter speed of 1/1000 to 2 seconds, you may get frustrated at the lack of instant response, though for the average user this should be fine. This HP camera also features a built in flash that has a recharge time of six seconds, on average. For continuous shooting in a setting requiring a flash, they may be annoying for the user. The HP E427 offers 16 megabytes of internal flash memory, though there is a slot where you can insert an additional memory card, purchased separately.

HP E427 Camera Accessories
The most popular accessory to go with the HP e247 is a camera case, which will protect the outer housing from the outside elements. In addition, during travel, a semi soft case will keep the lens from being scratched, as well as the LCD screen. Protection against dropping is also a bonus, though it is still recommended to use a camera strap for prevention from that.

Overall Impression
If you have been looking to get an HP E427 for a sale price, you will want to keep an eye on camera websites. Also available at national retailers, you will most likely get the best price online, where competition is steep. Although the HP E427 has some quirks that may be looked at unattractively by some, for a starter digital camera, this sleek and silver bodied HP does the trick.
