DISCONTINUED FOR A REASON?
[ Posted: 2008-02-06 ]
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.

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.
Thanks to the reviewers before me.

I bought this camera due to the great reveiws on Amazon. This is my first digital camera. I've been very impressed with the shots it takes, and with the ease it is to operate it. The on-screen guide is very helpful, especially since I consider myself "low-tech". So, really, "my" 5 stars goes to both the camera, and all those who reviewed it before the end of 2006.
great camera, but delayed shots

I love this camera, but a few seconds delay with clicking the shutter means I miss nearly all the quick smiles of my baby. Other than that, this is a nearly perfect camera. Perfect size, great shots, rechargable battery, nice LCD....great!
