NO OPTICAL VIEW
FINDER, September 7, 2005
Reviewer: R. M. Hutchins
Just so you are aware -- this camera does NOT have an optical view finder;
you MUST use the LCD on the back to target your photograph; there is no
eye sight through an optical view finder -- for us who are accustomed to
the OLD 35mm cameras, not using an optical view finder is uncomfortable.
Furthermore, just so you are aware, this camera uses a proprietary battery
(you can't use standard-sized batteries -- ie; AA-sized batteries); you
must use the accompanying battery charger to charge the battery. Thus, no
ability to temporarily use AA batteries.

I love to try different cameras, I have been using the R-707
for a year and like it very much.
I have been using this new R-817 for two weeks, and I love it.
It supports high speed SD cards, the 640 X 480 Video is Great.
The 5X optical zoom is very nice.
I carry this camera in a radio pouch with a belt clip (not loop)
everywhere I go, in seconds I am ready to take a pic or vid.
