1. Introduction
Front view of the HP Photosmart M437.
If I had to choose two words to describe the M437, they would be simple and automatic. HP has distilled the complexities out of photography by eliminating any mention of f-stops, aperture or ISO speed ratings. With a list price of $109.99, the HP Photosmart M437 is a 5MP camera with a 3X optical zoom plus 5X digital zoom and a 2.0" (dia) screen. The lens has a range of 32-96 mm (35mm equivalent). Its features speak for themselves.
