The worst Red Eyes I've ever experienced
Pros
Small, Easy to use, Inexpensive, Good user interface.
Cons
Unusable for taking pictures of anything with eyes. No optical zoom.
Recommended it?
No
My wife received this camera as a gift. The absence of an optical zoom is a bit of a problem, but only a little. What makes this camera absolutely unusable for most people is that it produces the most unbelievable glowing, demonic looking red eyes in everyone who is in the picture, including subjects shot in profile, something that should not even be possible!

This is not simply because it is an inexpensive camera, we have used an older Kodak CX4200 which is also a simple point and click camera and had normal if not excellent results. The HP E327 is simply not a good design.
We traded this camera for a more expensive HP R727 and the first thing we noticed is that we actually had to TRY to get a shot with red eyes! No matter how we shoot the picture with that camera there is little or no red eye at all, and that's with the automatic internal red eye correction turned off, so HP knows how to make a camera that takes excellent photographs of people, you just have to pay more for it.
