Summary: Best camera for size
Review: I find this camera very nice to use and not complicated, although it does have several very decent features - good zoom, picture modes, menu system, etc. You MUST get the dock. It's worth the money. I bought my set in a store as a package deal. Nice going HP!

Summary: Oh, the battery life
Review: I got the 935 at Staples, who claimed that it came with
rechargable batteries. It didn't. They were 1.5v lithiums,
not rechargeable.It's a nice camera, but 2 1800 mah cells last about 20
minutes, no matter what you do. These are good cells, but
this thing eats electricity like General Motors. Hard to believe that HP would produce such a thing. I'm
sticking with my 1-2 megapixels cameras. Then again, it might be defective. Of course, for $50, you can buy an AC pack that you can take with you on a long expedition
in the veldt, with a long extension cord. Good lord, how could a company drop the ball so wonderfully????

Summary: Good Value in a Compact Digital Camera
Review: I have been using this camera for a week and like it very much. I was looking for a good quality point-and-shoot camera that I could carry around more easily than by bulky Sony camera. The HP 935 is intuitive and easy to use, takes nice photos, and is quite compact. I like the LCD screen, which is brighter than others I have seen, although, as others have noted, it sucks up a lot of battery juice. The viewfinder works great too though, so you don't need the screen unless you want to review what you've shot. Mine came with the dock, which I haven't used, except for charging the batteries, and viewing photos on a TV (the dock has composite video output). I pull the card out of the camera, and plug it into a card reader on my Mac - so I have no knowledge of the software that came with the HP. Good value, compact, great photos!

Summary: Great Camera
Review: I have gone back and forth on buying a digital camera. I was going to buy the G3 via Cannon however the cost was [$$] plus it had only 4 mp. I wanted a good camera because I was going to Alaska to fish and hang out in and around Prince William Sound so I decided since Alaska has no sales tax, I would buy it in Anchorage. I went to Best Buy and the price was the same as Los Angeles so I went to Costco. They have the G3 but only via online so I was dissapointed but on the rack was the hp 935. It had more mp and seemed so easy to work. I bought it for less then [$$] and got the memory card and went out on my cruise. I took over 100 pictures in the best picture format and when I got home and printed them, I was so excited. Pictures I took looked so awesome. I was so thrilled. It is an easy camera to use. Sure others are better but for this price and mp, you cannot find a better camera. I stayed home this weekend and hung my pictures all at 8 x 10. I can go bigger then that but I need to get a new printer.

Summary: Amazing Camara
Review: I have had this camara for a total of 15 minutes and I have already filled up 2 32MB SD cards (one comes with it) and I must say the picture quality is beyond superb. I spend a lot of time around high-end digital photography and this little camara is the best bang for the buck. Warning, the only downside is the thirst this camara has for battery power. I am considering buying the dock and rechargeable battery pack for this reason alone. If you are in the market for an amazing, fully loaded digital that is 5+ megapixels for under $$$ this is for you! I can't say much about the software that comes with it because the camara plugs in and operates seamlessly with Windows XP - no software needed. The on-board camara interface is extremely easy to use, however beware because this is where the battery vampire reigns supreme. The good thing is that the LCD is not on by default unlike most digitals I have worked with; when you take a picture the LCD will briefly light up to show you the high quality picture you took. Highly recommended!

Summary: HP 935 [stinks]
Review: I just purchased a HP Photosmart 935 digital camera recently. I am 100% unsatisfied with the product. How I wish that I can return this ... and get a refund. Unfortunately, I can't because I purchased it online. I don't want to pay for the re-stocking fees, the postage and etc' Here are the list of the main reasons why I am so unhappily about your digital camera. (1) After I used the flash, my camera is like in a 'freeze' mode, it displays a message saying 'Low Battery' and it automatically shuts down LCD. It then takes more than 10 seconds for the camera to charge up the batteries before I can use the flash again. This is really a test of my patient especially when I am taking picture in the night. Initially, I thought the problem is because I was using a rechargeable battery. But after I have tried Duracell and Energize, they all are giving the same problem.
In my opinion, this camera seems to drink batteries... I have to wait for a long time for the battery to charge up before I can use to LCD again. That is a bummer for me! Unless you are one of those users who prefer the VIEWFINDER than the LCD.
There is NO battery on the face of this earth that is designed for this block-sucking camera! Battery life seems worse than average!!! (2) Why can't I upload picture BACK from PC to the camera??? The reason is that I use Adobe Photoshop to edit my picture and I want to put it back to the SD card so that I can send it for printing. Unfortunately, your ... camera doesn't do that. As far as I know with my lower resolution Sony digital camera, once I connected it to a PC, it appears as a REMOVABLE DRIVE, that means, I can easily download or upload by copy/cut and paste using Window Explorer.
Unfortunately, this PH Photosmart 935 digital camera, I have to hunt for option to download and deleting the photo. This is a nuisance! And it is a 'one-way ticket' because once I download to my PC, I can't upload it back to the camera. This is my deepest regret to purchase from HP because I have to BURN the photo into a CD before I can bring it down to Walmart for printing. (3) The downloading software doesn't really work with my XP desktop machine. Sometimes, it allows me to download photo from the camera to my PC. Sometimes, it just said not connected even though the camera LCD displayed that it is connected. Initially, I thought that my PC has was not set up properly so I tried it with my Compaq Presario 1500 Laptop, I still encounter that instability occasionally. (4) For some unknown reason, this camera has red-eye problem whenever I am took picture in the night. Unfortunately, I have to say that the red-eye problem appears in about 95% of my photo that I took in the night so I have to PERMANENTLY set the camera to Red-eye to ON. Of course, that means my battery lifespan is much shorter. What I am not complaints about? As for the picture quality, it is fair good. I won't say it is the best but it is quite compatible with other major brands of 5 mega pixel camera. I am fairly satisfied with.
Apart from that, The HP Photosmart 935 is compact and easily to handle and easily operated with one hand, even though it is a plastic camera, it does feel solid and not flimsy.
In summary, maybe it is because I used to own a Sony Digital Camera and it is not fair to compare a good camera with HP Photosmart 935. As far as I know after owning the 2 products, I have to say that HP still has a long way to catch up with the real world. This camera [stinks] ... !!!

Summary: Awesome Camera Awesome Price
Review: I loved all the Megapixels and I happened to pick it up new with camera case and 128MB memory card for 180.00. The pictures are great and it includes alot of extra features. I like the way the LCD doesn't turn on at start up because it really saves batterys. I found using Photo Cell Batteries will last way longer. Also I like how after you take the picture it pops up and lets you preview and/or delete if you don't like it without having to press extra bottons. The optical zoom is pretty helpful but the digital zoom ruins the picture. It has many extra features like Macro and many other things. It is so easy to use and they software is phenominal.IT is the easiest and most productive of all the others that I have expirienced. I would defiently recommend this camera

Summary: Great pictures
Review: I recently upgraded from an Olympus 3030 to a 5mp camera. After looking around, I bought the HP based on some samples pictures that looked clear, sharp and full of colour. The 3X zoom is good and the controls are easy to use. I mostly use it as a point and shoot but the manual in the camera has already made me a better photographer since I learn soemthing while taking the pictures. The style is the ebst but it an easy to sue camera that takes great pictures. I read other reviews about battery life but have not had the same problems. Highly recommended!

Summary: Excellent Quality, Stellar Value
Review: I was a skeptic when HP came out with their line of cameras, but since I work in electronic retail I got a chance to play with it (and all other cameras) before choosing to buy it. Here's my list of reasons why I purchased it over other cameras: - 5.3 megapixel
- 21x total zoom
- Automatic controls
- Video recording up to 90 seconds
- Consecutive shooting
- Pentax Lens
- Price was lower compared to most other 5.0 megapixel cameras To me, these were a lot of features for the price. Better zoom than most, if I need to get in close on a subject (of course optical is better than digital, but you will be spending quite a bit more for a camera with a higher optical zoom. Best suited for "professional" photographers). I can take video for longer bursts compared to most cameras (which are 15-30 seconds). I have the options for manual controls. On top of that, it has automatic settings, easy to use and navigate (simple layout, not too many buttons to confuse people, menu system is self-explanatory and easy), great color accuracy (though sometimes it's slightly muted) and can record audio clips for pictures. You can change the camera setting to "removeable drive" so you can put the pictures back on the camera. Of course there are always cons, but only a few consistent ones. It does have a shutter delay, but all cameras do (prime the focus to get around it. Works with all cameras). It's a little slow to save pictures, but if you press the shutter within 1 sec of the last picture, you'll take another (the consecutive shooting feature). Keep in mind that this is a 5mp camera so larger files will take a little more time to save. It has only a few auto-modes, the macro shooting doesn't work well, the flash is excellent up to about 10ft only, and your choice of file size is either 5 or 1 megapixel (but the 1 megapixel pictures are quite good too). It's true that this camera loves batteries, but I can fill up 128mb card with 5mp pictures and video on one pair of rechargeable (anything else will get drained VERY FAST) AA and still have some juice left. People who use the LCD screen like a CRUTCH will have less battery power. LCD screens in general don't show well when used outdoors. I don't understand people who try to use it when it won't work well at all, or who even complain about it (and not just on cameras). Slow startup time? I'm not picky about the difference between 2 and 5 seconds. Bad video? It's a CAMERA, not a camcorder. Reviews that complain about the printing, connectivity, card-errors, software, etc. either got a lemon, didn't do something, have pc issues (I have lots of customers with pc issues on a weekly basis) which can interfere, or had expectations past what the camera can do. Otherwise HP's software for their products is the best for ease of use and compatibility. If you're looking for a "professional" camera, this may not be it and you might want to spend a little more in a different brand. But for most people who aren't "professional" photographers, then this is a spectacular buy. If I had to choose a different camera instead of this HP, it would probably be either a Canon or a Sony, since they have some great cameras. Probably a Canon though, since I like the manual controls and since I don't prefer the shape of most Sony DSCP cameras.
