HP today introduced HP SimpleSave Photo, an easy-to-use and automated solution for finding and backing up precious photo memories on a PC.
With only four percent of consumers regularly backing up PC files,(1) HP SimpleSave Photo represents a breakthrough for all who desire a hassle-free and affordable way to protect their most valuable photos. HP announced the new solution at PMA ‘08, the photography industry’s largest annual event.
HP SimpleSave Photo automatically searches a computer for all photos and stores them on a special DVD disc. The consumer simply drops the DVD into a PC’s DVD burner tray and the back up automatically starts, without requiring consumers to install or learn software.
Since many digital cameras also record video, SimpleSave Photo also will back up most common video files. In fact, HP SimpleSave Photo works with approximately 100 photo, video and image formats including JPEG and others commonly used to store digital photos.

The HP Photosmart A826 Home Photo Center ($249.99 direct) is a prime example. Think of it as a photo kiosk for your kitchen (or anywhere else you like). Modeled on the sort of kiosk you can find in your local drugstore, the A826 lets you plug in a memory card or USB key, then submit orders through a 7-inch touch screen while previewing photos at 4.2 inches diagonally—an enormous size by home photo printer standards.
The A826 can print standard-format photos at sizes up to 5 by 7 inches and panoramas up to 4 by 12 inches. As you would expect from most any dedicated photo printer, it can print from PictBridge cameras and computers, too, but then you don’t get to use the touch screen. The screen is shaped like a trapezoid with rounded corners, roughly 7 inches across the bottom, 5.5 inches across the top, and 4 inches high. Control icons on the left- and right-hand sides set off a 5.6-inch full-color display area and let you do things such as scroll through the photos or give the print command.

HP recently unveiled its mid-range Photosmart R837 digital camera. The camera doesn’t boast any outstanding hardware features, but does include a respectable 7.1-megapixel sensor, 3X optical zoom and a 3-inch display for viewing photos. At more than an inch thick, the camera is a bit bulky, and it features a plain silver finish.
HP’s real selling point in this otherwise bland point-and-shoot camera is its on-camera editing capabilities. Traditionally we find on-camera editing functions to be a tad superfluous, as serious photography enthusiasts edit their pictures on a computer. However, the R837 includes some options that we haven’t seen before, such as a pet-eye fix, which removes the glowing effect from your pets’ eyes. The camera also has a red-eye fix and photo-tagging for organization, which is compatible with Windows Vista
