The Bottom Line	For the HP Photosmart M437, "inexpensive" means the same thing as "cheap."	This inexpensive, simple HP Photosmart M537 digital camera is easy to use, but its pictures aren't so easy on the eyes.	The HP Photosmart R837's disappointing image quality makes this otherwise handy, versatile shooter a mediocre model.	If not for the massive amounts of noise in some photos, the HP Photosmart R937 would be a good point-and-shoot camera.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.
