Summary: Simply Amazing!!!
Review: My wife and I received this camera for an early Christmas present. We have been looking for a camera for a few months now, and unexpectedly, her uncle bought this for us. This camera is more than anything I have ever expected in a camera. The features are incredible and easy to use. I have not even opened the manual yet, it is that user friendly. The pictures are of the most excellent quality. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a camera.

Summary: battery eater
Review: this camera works great...for about 5 minutes..and the batteries go kaput...i have tried regular AA batteris...rechargables...neither work for longer than a few pictures...and i am on my SECOND camera...HP does have pretty good customer service, they sent me a new camera, BUT...i am having the same problem...waiting on them to send me some photo lithium batteries to see if it works, if it doesnt i am requesting a full refund...what a shame!...great pics, easy to use, just cant be replacing the batteries every 5 minutes!!

Summary: Cool camera - MMC cards are not necessarily supported
Review: This is a cool camera and it is small and light ehough to put in your pocket. I carry mine everywhere just in case I want to take a picture. The fact that it uses only two batteries is also an advantage - you effectively get twice the battery life of many other cmaeras. While the Viking MMC cards prompted by David Payne may work in the 812, in general MMC cards are not supported with this camera. Only use SD cards in this camera.

Summary: Where's the Power?
Review: This is my third digital camera (I also have a wonderful Toshiba PDR-M1 (1.3 Mp) and a horrible, full of bugs Kodak DX 3600). I really like the HP PS812 except that it does not come with any way to power the camera except two batteries.

There is a camera dock, which is OK, but not something that I really want to carry on trips.

There is supposedly an optional AC adapter, but HP gives absolutely no hint in its included documentation or on its web site what the part number is. Looking through the reviews here on Amazon.com for AC adaptors for HP cameras, it is obvious that getting an adapter is an iterative process of buying and returning until a lucky purchase works.

If anyone has found the magic AC adapter that works, please post which one it is.

Summary: HP no tiene repuestos para sus camaras digitales
Review: Un cordial saludo.
Les cuento que compre mi cámara HP812 en Amazon.com, me funciono regularmente, y ahora resulta que tiene una falla en el lente y pregunto al centro autorizado de soporte HP en mi país y me indican que si pueden arreglar la camara con un mantenimiento normal, perfecto!. Sino perderé mi inversión, por que HP no tiene repuestos para sus cámaras digitales a nivel mundial. Esto me desconcierta, por que siempre había confiado en esta marca, tengo muchos productos de ellos, y ahora estoy a punto de perder muchos dólares por su culpa.

Les recomiendo revisar otras marcas que si tengan un verdadero servicio al cliente, esto no es servicio al cliente, es la comercialización de cámaras "desechables", las vas a tener que cambiar tu cámara en 1 o 2 años. Triste no? para una inversión de tanto dinero.

Saludos, espero que te sirva mi experiencia al momento de tomar tu decisión, ahora me tocará comprar mi 3 cámara (las dos anteriores fueron HP), pero seguro no será HP.

Summary: This camera cannot recharge its own batteries
Review: Well I have this photosmart 812 camera and a C8881a dock. I thought it would be a good combo since it came with two sets of batteries and easy connectivity to my computer. Seems to have nice menu's and iPhoto recognizes the camera right away. Windows XP brings it right away as well in drive mode.

The batteries that came with the camera will not charge. According to HP the camera will not charge if the batteries less than 1.2v in them. Well of course new batteries out of the box will have less than 1.2v in them!!! HP says to upgrade the firmware on the camera which will fix this issue, but it still does not work! Another annoying thing is that you need to reset the date everytime you take the batteries out, or in this case whenever you unhook the camera from the dock since the batteries never charge!
