Battery Charger Pentax
| Powered by phpBay Pro |
Which digital camera is better: HP Photosmart R717 or Pentax M20?
HP has a rechargable battery, Pentax doesn't
HP has a 1.8 inch LCD, Pentax has 2.5 inch
HP has an optical viewfinder, Pentax doesn't
HP is 6.2 MP, Pentax is 7MP
I could always get a battery charger if i went with the Pentax and I don't see myself ever using the optical viewfinder.
Right now I'm leaning towards the Pentax because I've heard bad things about HP cameras... your thoughts???
NIce to see you're weighing in the pros and cons of two of your choices. These may seem redundant, but more for you to consider when looking for a great camera that meets your needs---
1). Requires regular batteries or not? There are many cameras that all you do is recharge, (like a cellphone), the camera. I like cameras that use your basic AA batteries. You can buy rechargeable AA batteries, and buy regular ones in a pinch anywhere, should you find your camera without power, instead of being without a camera to use while it's hooked up being recharged. (What happens if you need to replace the internal built-in lithium ion battery? Might be costly to replace and not easy to find). It's true that digicameras use up disposable batteries quickly. But you can buy rechargeable ones and they last a long time. It should be a must to buy rechargeable batteries (with it’s charger), There are some AA (stick with the name brands), that now recharges in an hour, or even less! (Remember to figure in the cost to buy rechargeable AA/AAA battery and battery recharger).
2). An optical viewfinder is very useful for those times when it's difficult to see your subject on your screen, and helps conserve power of your camera. This feature seems to be important to some, (me included), but to others, not necessary. (This is where IS [Image Stabilization] comes in. Helpful if your camera does not have an optical vierfinder.)
3). Don't get sucked in by the more MP (megapixels [10 and above]), the camera has, the better. It is not always the case. 5-6 mp is sufficient for most.
4). Optical zoom of at least 3-4x. Don't be fooled by a high digital zoom number. Opitical is what you're looking for.
5). IS (image stabilization) and face detection? This is a personal choice for what an individual wants.
6). Camera size: Compact or subcompact? You might compromise some functions and options when you go with a small and sleek camera. This is also a personal choice.
If I were to choose between the choices you've posted in your question, I'd go for the Pentax. Just based on the fact that I used a Pentax 35mm SLR when I was in high school taking photography. And ...they're known for making cameras than HP. Personally...I own Canon digital and 35mm cameras.
