DigitalCameraReview has looked at the HP Photosmart R817.
Their conclusion is:
“Given the simplicity of the camera, its very good user interface, PictBridge capability, plethora of scene modes, ability to share photos by email easily, and integrated HP technologies, I would recommend the R817 as I did the R717. If you come across a Canon camera in the same price range and the feature set appeals to you, it’s likely you’ll get better images from the Canon. However, if HP would step up to the plate on the noise levels in some of its images, HP could be a leading player in the digital camera market.”
