I recently acquired this camera through a silent auction and managed to pay only $175. I didn't really know anything about and just bought it because it had 6.2 megapixels and it was cheap. Now that I have had the camera for a couple of weeks, I have learned that this camera really packs quite a... Read full review »

Cons None

For several years I've looked at digital cameras while the image quality has improved and costs have dropped. Since it is an electronic product though, I was also concerned about durability. When I found this camera as a special buy on the Wal-Mart web site at a price under $150 (which meant a 3... Read full review »

Bought a new R 717 on an after christmas sale, new in box.

Read manual completely, cover to cover.

Picture color balance was very good, auto focus was pretty good, but never razor sharp. The Macro function was superb, but you HAD to have the camera on a tripod because of picture... Read full review »

The Best Choice For Ambitious Beginners!

bycamlover Jan 18, 2006
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Extremely easy to use; intuitive in-camera coaching; plethora of shooting modes
Cons Small LCD; external media not included; colours tend to be a bit oversaturated.
Recommended it? Yes

Although I purchased this camera for a relative just entering the world of photography, I couldn't help but use (and admire) it for a while. After all, the 6.2-megapixel R717 is a pleasure to hold, thanks partly to its rubberized body and brushed-metal coating. The controls are very nice and... Read full review »

Pros Looks good, decent picture quality, loads of features.
Cons Color quality varies, horrible video quality, battery life marginal
Recommended it? No

I picked this Camera up about 2 months ago after my try with a cheap Aiptek PDVR failed to satisfy me and my Sony 2.0 megapixel camera was just too ancient. My friend had bought the same camera about a year ago and paid $349! So after I saw the same camera for $149 I figured it would be a steal. I... Read full review »

The Hewlett Packard R717 Digital Camera is the first digital camera I've ever owned and I'm glad I've got it. This camera has all the major features you would expect for an everyday-use digital camera, higher megapixel quality, and for a quite reasonable price. It comes with a 32MB internal memory...

Pros great design and looks
Cons VERY fragile!
Recommended it? No

Well, I've bought 2 R717's now, and I now have 2 broken R717's. With the first one, I had let my wife borrow the camera and when I got it back, the LCD screen was broken and useless, ie. no images could be displayed anymore. I chaulked it up to bad luck and perhaps the fact that my wife had not... Read full review »

I just spent three days at Disneyland. Family reunion, kids growing up, that type of thing. The combination of the R717 camera and R-series dock was wonderful. Easy to follow instructions.

I bought this camera about a year ago from Microcenter, because I wanted a cost-effective camera that would still take decent pictures. The pictures are great and the camera is easy to use, you can easily select between manually focusing and autofocus. The menu system is good, and there is a... Read full review »
