HP Photography

We have shown digital photography from a lot of different angles on this show, but this week I think we have found a new angle that a lot of our viewers will appreciate. What to do when you buy your first digital camera ... how to get started, how is digital photography different, and how do I get the most out of this new experience. This is the beginner's view of digital photography, but I am sure even some of you seasoned digital photographers out there might catch a few helpful tips.

HP Live Coach

This week we are going to introduce you to an innovative new training tool provided with new HP cameras. It is called live coach and is exactly that! A live coach! We are going to show you the HP R707 digital camera, it comes with the software needed and a headset with a microphone. The software allows me to connect to a live coach who is there to help me get the most out of my camera. The HP camera comes with a free half hour of training to learn the basics of our camera, and you can also sign up for additional training at a fair price to really learn the ins and outs of your camera and the software!

HP Photo Printing

This week we are going to show you an awesome printer, it is HP's 8450, a studio quality 8 ink printer that really represents all the recent advances we have seen in printer technology. This workhorse prints at 4800 dots per inch and gives us stunning results. For the real artists, you can replace the basic black cartridge with a black and white photo cartridge that gives us photo black, grey and light grey. We are also going to run through all the choices of paper out there.
