Digital cameras
The original HP digital camera was an Intel Miniature Card-based model simply called the Photosmart. It was a VGA-resolution camera with a simple LCD. The company later broadened its line with a number of series of cameras, all using the Photosmart name.
HP announced on November 7, 2007, that it will seek an alternative business model for its HP-branded cameras and was working to identify an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partner that would be licensed to design, source and distribute digital cameras under the HP brand.

“HP Photosmart” enters the record as discontinued digital camera by Hewlett-Packard. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Photosmart, discontinued and digital can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“HP Photosmart” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Photosmart, discontinued and digital provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5635723. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1997, 2007, 1000 and 2000.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
