HP Photosmart M517 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 5.00 (out of 10)
When testing the camera itself, we found the still-life images unspectacular, but inoffensive. There was a little noise in both the daylight and the flash shots, though it wasn't very distracting. Color saturation and accuracy were adequate, although the M517 had better contrast than the M417. We also found a little bit of purple fringing with the M517. Like the M417, it has 1,250 average lines of resolution, which is a bit low for a 5MP camera.

| The M517 produces results expected from a 5 megapixel camera. It is prone to some aberration, and sometimes tends to shift the colours a bit cooler. It also has some difficulty dealing with higher contrast situations, making your pictures look flat or washed out. I also found it impossible to focus on anything closer then 12 inches, even with the macro, meaning that any extreme close-ups will need to be cropped and exploded on your computer (but with 5MP, this really isn't an issue). |
