HP Photosmart R817 Review at PCMagazine

HP Photosmart R817PCMagazine have just reviewed the new HP Photosmart R817, which offers 5 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom lens.

“Affordable compact digital cameras typically have 3X optical zoom, which is fine for most situations. But when you want to get close to the action on the soccer field or at the recital, 3X won’t always suffice. So we were excited to see that the HP Photosmart R817 has 5X optical zoom—and at a reasonable price. Although our initial enthusiasm was dampened a bit by the R817’s relatively slow speeds and significant shutter lag, we still think it’s the best 5-megapixel compact camera for beginners.”
