DISCONTINUED FOR A REASON?

This camera was gifted to me by my parents before a trip to China. I really liked it and thought it was great. However, 12 months later, the camera bought the farm. I had a huge event coming up at this time and wanted a camera very quick that I knew how to use, so, stupid me, ordered the same camera, thinking the 1 year lifespan had to have been a fluke. Guess what? My 2nd HP R717 lasted for 13 months before it died ! Mind, I was not spilling soda on it or dropping the things either...too bad I can't get my money back - over $400 spent on these things. I feel ashamed, and so should HP.

HP Photosmart R717 digital Camera

This is my first digital camera. Previous to my purchase of this item, I had no knowledge of digital cameras at all but, after reading the manual and with a little practice, I was able to take fairly decent pictures and understand and utilize the various features of the camera. I purchased a 512 MB chip and was able to transfer the images to my computer with ease.

Beware of Reliability on this Camera

I bought this camera a little over 2 years ago and, initially, I was very pleased with it until recently. Many features and a well-written manual.

I was trying to recharge the battery last week and the camera would not respond (no charging). I tried a second battery I had purchased as a spare when I first bought the camera, and had the same problem.

I called their service deptartment and was connected to a very sweet woman in India who had limited English skills. I gave up with her and then filed a service request on the internet and was told that the camera was beyond the 1 year warranty and was apparently "dysfunctional." Plainly put, it was broken.

I am very displeased with a camera that initially cost close to $300 and lasted only about 2 years. It was manufactured in China. I would expect that a camera in this price range would certainly last much longer, as my prior Japanese camera did (it was stolen). It is the VERY LAST H-P product I will ever buy and you may want to be careful in considering any of their (Chinese manufactured) products.

Great years ago, but out of date now

Overview: Not a bad camera but for 2009 it is a little outdated

Functionality: one thing I do not like about this camera is the time it takes to actually take a picture, you click the button it will take a picture up to 2 seconds later (not because of lake of light) but because it has to load memory. This is good for still pictures and daytime pictures but not for night or when your at an event where you would want to take a quick succession of pictures.

Quality: 6.2 Megapixiles used to be a lot, and if you print out the pictures on photo-paper it is. Computers these days can display more than that and investing in a camera with more megapixles will get you better clarity/quality photos.

Ease of use: well the button that takes the picture is in the same spot as every other camera so its not that hard to start clicking out of the box. If you want to change settings that is fairly easy keeping in mind that all the changes you make will be erased and default settings take effect after you turn the camera on and off. It has a few different settings depending on where you are (snow, beach, action, etc...) which make light changes but none that will actually help much.

Bottom line: For me this was reliable, still works after years of having one but the technology is out dated and the camera isn't that great. Buy another camera, a thinner one that can take photos quickly. You'll enjoy it more.

Digital Camara review HP Photosmart R717

My Only complaint is the memory card was defective in a sense that the 2GB memory card was only able to hold 11 pictures and unable to save. I have an hp photosmart 2610xi all-in-one which has a card reader and an error appears can't read it only out of the camara. And that's a shame. Over the week end I went to the Auto Show and I was disappointed with the unit only to find out it was the memory card, I didn't bring a spare one with me. It was the last day of the auto show.

HP PS120 1.0MP Digital Camera Review

Including a lens cap would have been useful. It is very easy to scratch the exposed lens surface. The LCD is weak but the camera makes decent pictures. I bought it for my son's second digital camera (he was six at the time) and he loves it. Now we need a CF card to hold more images between shooting and downloading.

This camera ..

Bought this camera in about 3 months ago for around $5o; I guess the pictures are okay especially when there's adequate lighting (such as outdoors). The flash totally washes the pictures out (wouldn't recommend using unless it was really dark). LCD screen is small but it works. Unfortunately the camera is already defective - it only turns on half the time even with new batteries, but what do you expect for $5o.

its digital

I love taking pictures, it's well, you could say it's my hobby. Digital cameras are great because you can take millions of pictures and only pick out the few good ones. With this camera it really is few. Another thing is the late shot. This is definatly not one of those once in a life-time shot cameras, this is more of a, honey could you do that again? camera's because it takes three seconds to shoot after you push the button. It takes ok movies but they're choppy and have no sound. This is a good camera though and wouldn't betray it. But if you're looking for a camera with good, crisp pictures don't get this, this is a first-timers camera. Although i do admit, i have very much fun taking pictures of beautiful things with it. Really this is a 3 1/2 star camera.

The best 1 MP camera on the Market!

This Camera is AWESOME for a begginer digital Photographer and for kids. It has a bright LCD screen, many wonderful features, and awesome picture quality. The ACDsee system works quite well and the HP share to Web software is Excellent. This Camera is good for indoor and outdoor use. Also comes with a video recording system that-on the internal Memory-you can take 30 second videos WITHOUT sound. There is an SD memory card slot and many more features. GREAT VALUE!

Good for beginners

I spent around $50 on this camera & it served it's purpose. It takes nice pictures in the right light & the camera software is nice too. If you just take pictures for fun, you'll enjoy this camera. There is also a small movie option, no sound & it runs about 30 seconds I think. When I tried to send this to family & friends, all I did was drag the movie file (in the uploaded software) into my outlook express... that is the easiest way I found it worked.
Here are some pictures that I took with the camera :O)
http://photobucket.com/albums/v48/hiltonqueen/
Although, it does have some downsides:

*Eats up batteries
*Doesn't take very good close ups
*There is a long delay after you push the button for your picture, Takes some work to make a toddler stand still long enough.
*And, you can only get about 9 to 14 quality pictures before you have to upload & empty to take more pictures again.


I just bought a new camera & I'll be selling mine on here soon at a cheap price, if you are interested, email me at hiltonqueen@iwon.com

Pictures are ok, but EATS AA Batteries by the dozens.

While HP did a pretty good job with this camera, someone forgot to figure out how much power it takes to run it. If you have this camera, buy stock in a battery company just so that you can get some of your money back over the next few years. I have gotten as little as a dozen pictures out of a fresh set of batteries, to as many as 25 pictures using high end batteries 2800 mAh batteries.
Rechargeable batteries are a mixed blessing. The hp photosmart 8886 docking station will recharge your rechargeable batteries when you put the camera in, but there is no trickle charger feature built into the docking station. This means that your batteries will charge up, but then sit without any maintenance cycle to keep them topped off for you. So, your batteries may well be dead in a week or two even though the camera was on the docking station.
Not very well thought out at all.
Optical zoom provides good pictures.
Digital zoom starts going down hill very quickly to the point of not usable.
The video clip feature is very choppy, so not that great compared with other cameras in this price range.

All in all, I'd pass on this camera if I were to buy another one. The battery eating power needs are just too great to make this a user friendly battery.

HP 935 Experiences

I have owned this camera for approximately 2 1/2 years, and my experience has been very frustrating. Rarely do I get a good picture when using the zoom (very noisy). I have also experienced many problems with taking pictures indoors, and in low light. The most frustrating problem is that I can take multiple photos of the same scene with the same settings and get different results (some light, some dark, contrast inconsistencies, color inconsistencies). I have also experienced the battery drain problems that other reviewers have reported, but have had great results using Lithium batteries. About have the time, the camera gods smile, and the camera takes a great picture, but I've lossed two many precious moments to take another chance. Time to get a new camera.

Worst digital camera.... ever

I bought this camera at Sears about a year ago. It was origionally listed as $353 but I ended up getting it for only $118. This camera has MANY cons and hardly any pros.

-->The audio is junk.
Anything above a whisper makes the audio clip so you just get this annoying loud ticking as audio (in videos and audio comments). It makes the video mode completely useless.

-->Picture quality isn't all too good.
I expected much more from a 5.3MP camera than this one offers. The picture quality on it's highest setting is all but decent. It's barely acceptable in any other condition than high light outdoors photography.

-->The flash is HORRIBLE!
There is absolutely no happy medium with it. it either over exposes the picture, or underexposes it. Any low light situation results in pictures with alot of noise and blurryness.

-->Battery life is NONEXISTANT!!!
This is the absolutely worst feature of the camera. It takes about 5-10 pictures on a brand new set of duracell photo batteries (the kind that cost almost $10 for a pack of two). Recently I was taking pictures of my girlfriend and I went through 22 Duracel AA batteries.

The only pros of this camera is that it's digital and not film, and that it boasts a SD card that my laptop has a built-in reader for. I was much happier with my Cannon Powershot S10 2.1MP camera.

I own a nice 35mm SLR camera with many differnet lenses and accessories, and I now use that camera more than the digital becuase of all the cons this camera has. I would rather pay to get my film devoloped and have decent picture quality than use this digital camera.


Overall rating: 1/10
Would be good for a novice user looking to make printouts from a photo center or computer, but for anyone that has a slight interest in photography, you definately need to look elsewhere.

The Great and the bad

I really love this camera. I got it two years ago for christmas, and I can't explain how much I love this thing! The only problems I have are that its impossible to take pictures indoors. Like at a concert or graduation or something like that. And the battery life sucks. But if you purchase rechargable batteries, it works much better.

Best camera I've owned

This is the best camera I've owned...I regret I didn't use all the features it has and in fact I got a newer "mini" and it doesn't compare to my 935. Everytime I needed for a quick shot, and if the batteries were dead I'd slap in new ones not to find out on my new camera were dead and I need to recharge them. At the 5.3 mega pixcels it is great for most applications in that I'm not going to make giant posters but for 8 and half by 11 pictures are phenominal. I'm sure after researching the camera, I'll appreciate it's features....

Awesome Large View Screen

I purchased this camera for my daughter who is in college for Christmas. She LOVES it. The large view screen on the back is more awesome than she expected. No second quessing at what the photo will look like. She searched for just the right memory card and found a 1 gig SD card and she can now store many, many photos. The only drawback that she noticed was that the night time pictures seemed to come out slightly blurry, like as if the shutter speed may be not set "just right" for the time it is taking for the night shots. She said she would definitely recommend this camera to anyone.

DECENT CAMERA BUT DOESN'T ALWAYS FOCUS PROPERLY

We received this camera as a Christmas gift and I loved it at first. However as I started using it more I noticed that i doesn't always focus properly. It is usually when you are taking pictures of brighter colors and also when there isn't a lot of lighting. I wouldn't say this is a bad camera but their are certainly better models out there.

hp has impressed me

My main digi cam is a Panasonic FZ20 which is alot bigger then this hp, so I wanted something that I could carry easily with me and stil provide quality pics. Well, along came the m627 and I am very pleased and happy with it. I was hesitante being that it is a hp digi cam, but I read on it and said what the heck. (It was only 50 or less that I paid for it, cant recall) I love the large lcd, very easy and simple to use which is what I want in a small portable cam. takes great pics, which I was surprised about. the only draw back, it only has 3x optical zoom but thats why I have the FZ20 with 12x optical.

one thing though, not all HP cams will be as good as this one or better then this one. I was looking to buying a hp one for my mom for mothers day, a newer model but the pics the demo model was taking were CRAP compared to this model.

so, def read and try to get your hands on it before making a purchase.
