Not recommended... [Posted on 2007-04-08]
I bought this item as a gift, and it ended up becoming mine. I have to say, I am greatly dissatisfied. Here are some main issues I am having with the camera:
1. It is very poorly designed. The look and the feel of the camera are not elegant. Buttons are really ugly, and operating the camera is awkward, and for some functions requires both hands to operate..
2. The camera has been having issues with turning on and off occasionally.
3. The worst, by far, is the picture quality. Colors are just plain terrible. Automatic settings are a disaster of photography. I have used a Canon (2MP) before getting this one (5MP). The Canon was far superior in quality, colors, lighting.. I don't need large files of trash, I am perfectly fine with smaller files with great pictures.
As a result, I am strongly recommending getting a different camera. I have had great experiences with Canon; and seems like Sony and Nikon are doind a good job too. But HP must stop making cameras, and indeed many other devices..
HP Photosmart R817 5MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom & R-series Dock Bundle [Posted on 2007-05-13]
This camera is a very nice camera with dock. I am impressed with it's Pentax lens. It is much better than brand "K" that I replaced it with.
Great little camera [Posted on 2007-06-12]
This camera was easy to use, and I love being able to take both video and still shots with the same camera. It's hard to see the object you are shooting when you are in the sun, but it took some great pictures.
Great Overall Camera [Posted on 2007-08-02]
I've had this camera since 2005 and it has done exceptionally well. With the correct lighting, this camera can take pictures that look professional. Ive taken shots that look like they were done in a studio. Most of the pictures taken turn out normal, and some very ugly. One thing that was kind of annoying was when you camcorded and you zoomed in/out, it made a mechanical noise which can be heard in the recording. I lost this camera about 7 months ago and tried looking for the same model. The R817's are pretty hard to find. I now own a Sony T100, which doesnt compare to the HP R817.
Excellent digital camera [Posted on 2007-12-01]
Very satisfied with this camera. I am not a pro, but use constantly for personal use and have no complaints.
