R817 is a great buy!, October 30, 2005
Reviewer: D. Corbishley
Now that I've used the camera for a few months I'd like to update my
review (scroll down to see original). The problem I mentioned about using
the camera in bright sunlight can easily be fixed by increasing the
screen's brightness. Battery life has been great, far better than my last
camera with rechargeable AAs. Camera is super easy to use and gives great
pictures. For example, I frequently change modes depending on the lighting
and that feature is easily accessed from a button on the top of the
camera, not through a series of menus. Friends have been impressed that
you can zoom in video mode, something there cameras cannot do, and the
built in help screens. Used the panorama feature on a recent trip to
Vancouver and was simple to use and gave great results. I highly recommend
this camera for its size, features, and ease of use.
Original: I'm really enjoy my new R817. It's easy to use and the buttons
are all in the right places. Menus use are easy to follow. Friends I've
showed it to all liked the feel and ease of use without no dials. I bought
it for the size and zoom and I'm not disappointed. Like all cameras
without a view finder, it can be hard to see the screen when shooting into
direct sunlight, my only negative. Also bought the quick charger for the
extra battery and case and like the case. Looked at the new Nikon L1, but
the one in the BestBuy was broken so I have no idea how it works. I
figured this was not a good sign.
