Summary: Fantastic Camera!
Review: This is a great camera. In 5+MP cameras I've tried the Canon Powershot S500, Casio QV-R51, and a Fuji FinePix, but this is the best one.Pros:
Picture quality is crystal clear, battery life is very good, and I didn't even need to read the instructions to it. There are helpful explanations of all the options on the bottom of the screen so you know exactly what terms such as "saturation" and "EV" mean. I've taken pictures on the streets of NY, at the beach, at an indoor wedding, and at a restaurant. All my pictures of people were true to life, indoor pictures with low light came out well focused, and outdoor pictures had brilliant colors. Printed pictures are AMAZING. The short movie I made came out very good and with clear sound, but the clip was small. I didn't buy this camera to make TV sized movies anyway. Some metal cameras don't perform well if you constantly change climates, but I took it to the sandy beach, to NYC, to windy Chicago, and then to hot humid Houston and it performed solid in all those conditions. I have not tried extreme cold though. For all that, I think the price is well worth it. Cons:
No case or SD card included.

Summary: Wonderful little camera
Review: This is my third digital camera. I have owned a Fuji FinePix and a Pentax Optio S4. This camera performs so much better than either one of those. The good points: Great video, crystal clear images, super easy to use, removes red eye after pic is taken, adaptive lighting really works, good battery life. The bad points: a little slower than some cameras when it comes to processing images(but it is worth it), no case or SD card (seems to be a trend with most digitals). I researched this camera and the Canon Powershot S410 and S500. When comparing the two, the HP had 2 or 3 better features than the Canon. I was hesitant about buying the HP, because it was so new that there was not a lot of customer feedback. I guess the selling point that just made my decision easier was the red eye in camera removal, since I take lots of close ups of my children. I am so happy with my purchase. I would recommend this camera to anyone. The auto features make picture taking a no-brainer, but if you do want to get creative, you can adjust almost anything, in the manual mode. A+++

Summary: Best Quality in its Price Range.
Review: You won't find a better camera for this price. I bought this camera in August while on vacation. I had read raving reviews about the camera prior to getting it, and they were right. What I love most is that the camera fits in my back Jean's pocket. Now that it's winter I have it in my coat pocket every day. The battery lasts forever and has no "memory problems". The camera comes with its own recharger and the battery takes between 6-8 hours to charge, can be done when you go to bed. <br />The camera has many features you only find on more expensive cameras at half the price. The 5 megapixel shots are astounding in crispness and color fidelity. It does not come with an SD card, but it has built in memory which allows you to take various shots depending on the quality setting. All the cameras that come with a card include one with so little memory that they are not even worth using and require the purchase of an additional card, so I don't see the lack of one as a drawback on the R707. I have taken pictures and had them developed at the kiosks in some of the stores for 29 cents a piece and I only have to develop the one's I like. I never have to buy or develop film, I can email the images to family instantly with the camera's features and can even print them on any color printer with the press of a button. If you want stunning photos and the lowest price with the easiest user interface, then this is the one to get; you can't go wrong.
