The Photosmart 945 is the most interesting camera to debut in HP's fall lineup. Unfortunately, that says more about HP's ho-hum camera products than it does about the camera itself. This 5.3-megapixel successor to the Photosmart 850 sports a modified design and some firmware enhancements, while keeping the 37mm-to-300mm (35mm equivalent) 8X zoom lens.
