HP to Acquire European Online Photo Service PIXACO

PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 13, 2005 – HP today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire bilderservice.de GmbH, which operates PIXACO – a leading online photo services and products site in Europe.

The acquisition of the privately-held company will enable HP to rapidly extend the reach of its online photo services throughout Europe, building on the purchase of Snapfish earlier this year. HP plans to extend many of its Snapfish capabilities to the PIXACO service – bringing European customers greater choices for printing, sharing and storing their photos.

“This acquisition gives HP the ability to quickly become Europe’s largest online photo service, just as it is in the U.S. today,” said Ben Nelson, vice president and general manager, Snapfish, Digital Photography and Entertainment, HP. “Together, Snapfish and PIXACO have the experience and scope to provide a world-class online photo experience that will uniquely meet the needs of consumers in Europe.”

Today, Snapfish has 20 million registered users in the United States and United Kingdom and is adding up to 1 million new users every month.

The acquisition also is expected to foster the growth of Internet-to-retail digital photography services in Europe. Currently, Snapfish powers online photo services for more than two dozen leading retailers, Internet service providers and consumer brands in both the United States and United Kingdom, and will now look to align with similar partners throughout Europe.
Since PIXACO was established in 2003 by bilderservice.de, customers in 11 countries across Europe have come to recognize and trust the products and services made available through the PIXACO site.

“With this move, Europeans will now be exposed to a whole new level of digital photography services in addition to the best-value offering that they have come to expect from PIXACO,” said Karsten Schneider, chief executive officer and founder, bilderservice.de GmbH. “We look forward to providing our customers with a more powerful and sophisticated online digital photography experience.”

PIXACO customers will continue to enjoy the same benefits they receive today, along with new features and services from HP’s Snapfish portfolio of digital photography solutions.

HP Photosmart R817 Digital Camera Review

HP Photosmart R817Digital Camera Review does what their name implies and reviews the Photosmart R817 from HP.

The R817 is the successor the R717. While the R817 has one fewer megapixels, the addition of the 5x optical Pentax lens and refined user interface make up for it. While the Pentax lens may take slightly sharper photos, noise continues to be an issue for people wanting the best image quality for their money.

At the time of this writing, the R817 can be had from Internet sites for around $225 after rebates. Given the simplicity of the camera, its very good user interface, PictBridge capability, plethora of scene modes, ability to share photos by email easily, and integrated HP technologies, I would recommend the R817 as I did the R717.

HP Photosmart R817 Review

HP Photosmart R817The Photography Blog has a review up of the Photosmart R817 from HP. A quick look at this camera has me believing it would be a great entry level camera for most people, with its 5 megapixel sensor and 5x optical zoom.

The HP Photosmart R817 is HP’s latest digital camera and it attempts to emulate the success of the well-received R707 and R717 models. Despite the higher model number, the HP R817 actually has less megapixels (5 rather than 6) and a smaller image sensor than its predecessors. So what new features does it have to offer? The main one is a 5x optical lens, equivalent to 36-180mm, which instantly sets it apart from most of the competition, which typically have 3x zoom lenses. The R817 is also quite a lot smaller than the older models, although this does come at the expense of a smaller CCD sensor and the omission of an optical viewfinder. Other notable features include a larger 2 inch LCD screen with increased resolution and some new HP technologies, including in-camera panorama stitching and red-eye removal, plus a greatly improved video mode.

HP PhotoSmart R817

HP PhotoSmart R817With a 5.1 MP camera, HP’s PhotoSmart R817 is a pretty well rounded camera with a 5x optical zoom, and a 8x digital zoom lens.

With a variety of shooting modes, and the ability to add audio memos to still images (up to 60 seconds), there are a few better than average features to the R817.

The HP PhotoSmart R817 comes with 32 megabytes of internal memory and PictBridge capabilities, all wrapped up in a very compact, stylish and durable stainless-steel, high-impact plastic body. Tge 2.0 inch LCD screen is a bit smaller than the now average 2.5 inch screen of cameras currently being released.

Being from HP, they include more than just the camera as they include Li-ion rechareable batteries and a docking cradle for recharging.

The HP Photosmart R817 will be available in September for a suggested retail price of just $349.99 USD.
