If you have only two Benjamins to spend and still crave a 5-megapixel camera, this HP Photosmart M417 compact fills the bill. However, don’t expect any frills. This camera is delivered sans memory card, rechargeable batteries, or charger, and its feature set mainly covers the basics. But the real killer is mediocre image quality, with soft images that break down when enlarged much beyond 4×6 inches. Still, the price is right, and the camera is easy to operate. It may satisfy casual snapshooters who value simplicity over versatility.
