HP - R717 —

Camera is outstanding; however, the software to process the photos sucks. It is complicated and unweildly to use. The editing and processing are cumbersome. I had an older model HP camera and the software was much much better. Easier to use and the operation was more streamlined.

I love the camera but as long as the software is the way it is, I would not recommend purchasing the camera.
