HP Photosmart M517

Opinion: BAD,BAD,BAD,BAD - it is not a camera , it is a waste of money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Opinion: I have had camera for a year. I am just a P&S guy, learning. So I sometimes think its not the camera its me. But it is very hard to get good shots without flash. I think its impossible.

Opinion: DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA! This camera looked good in the store and worked well for the first 500 shots. Then it froze up. HP replaced my new, one month old camera with a REFURBISHED one. The new one worked good for about 100 shots, then started to go through batteries like crazy. It got to where a pair of brand new batteries would only take one or two shots and they were DEPLETED! This camera is now useless.

Opinion: i bought this camera for $40 so for my value, it was great for the money. I am stating to get into cameras more and more, and now that i look back on it, this camera was ok back then, but if you want to take really good shots, do not get this camera. This is a perfect camera for a beginner or a child learning about cameras. So it makes sense why this camera would look horrible to a person who just went on a safari, ya know. If you want basic, get this camera, i learned alot form it, but it cant compare to what i have now, a kodak z710.
