Hewlett Packard has quietly announced three new digital cameras in the last couple of days, all bearing similar styling to the Photosmart R707 model announced at PMA.

The HP Photosmart R607 is the most closely related to the R707, although it has been restyled somewhat and offers a lower resolution 4.1 megapixel image sensor and slightly wider 3x optical zoom lens. Where the R607 has a more traditional camera shape, the new M307 and M407 (mostly similar with the exception of their 3.2 and 4.1 megapixel imagers) share a wider, shorter body that's also coupled with a 3x optical zoom lens. Pricing and availability for the new cameras haven't been announced. Specifications follow, along with product photos for the R607 and M307.
