I have this camera so if you're looking for high quality pictures then look no further this camera has it all the camera's 3x optical zoom lens is equivalent to a 34-95mm lens on a 35mm format camera there is also a 6x digital zoom but for every click on the digital zoom it knock's of 0.2-0.3 MP of quality also it has 3 modes of colour full colour sepia or black and white but it does not stop there the HP Photosmart M407 has 4 image quality settings available (4MP Best, 4MP, 2MP and VGA), which are recorded as JPEGs. But there is one bad thing and that's the battery life well its rubbish my one drinks batteries in seconds so if your planning a long trip pack lots of batteries because I charged some rechargeable batteries and it drained them in 10 minutes flat but it does give some stunning pictutres and it is pretty small and so is easy to carry around.
