Viewing the huge three-inch LCD on HP's affordable top model is like holding a backlit snapshot in your hand. Rather than stabilize its 3X zoom optically, the R967 uses digital anti-shake to counteract subject or hand movement -- but the real gee-whiz starts after you take the picture. Then, the camera functions as a sort of miniature editing station, allowing you to adjust shadow and highlight levels, remove redeye, stitch up to five shots, add a border, and slim people down -- in image files, anyway.
