HP Photosmart 945 Reviews

A lackluster assessment of the HP Photosmart 945, which offers impressive zoom, but falls short of excellence, delivering images that are "passable but not great." read original review

This pro reviewer believes the HP Photosmart 945 suffers from quality control issues -- his first one had lines across the picture, and the second had difficulty taking clear nighttime shots. Even though it takes good pictures in most conditions, the 945 fails to impress. read original review

The HP Photosmart 945 offers good value, and its digital flash feature is impressive, but the electronic viewfinder freezes during focusing, making it difficult to track moving subjects. read original review

The HP Photosmart 945's "very good to excellent" image quality impressed these professional reviewers, as did its intuitive controls, but its relatively limited feature set and "grainy" viewfinder drew complaints. read original review
