HP Photosmart M517 prices and specs
The Photosmart M517 was released on Apr 28, 2005 and is sold in USA for $149.99
The Photosmart M517 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Photosmart M517 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't shoot photos of the same high quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The device can make images at 5 megapixels highest resolution. But for better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the camera will make images with a lower quality than cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. And if you want to capture images of the best quality check Nikon D810A.
The Photosmart M517 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for making action images of a satisfactory quality. The device can even record videos but the max resolution is not very high - 320 x 240.
The lens is fixed and the camera owner won't be able to switch it. The lens provides low 3x optical zoom.
