CNET Review
The Good: Extremely simple to use; handy in-camera editing features.
The Bad: No exposure control other than exposure compensation; slow performance; poor image quality.
The Bottom Line: This inexpensive, simple HP Photosmart M537 digital camera is easy to use, but its pictures aren't so easy on the eyes.
