Summary: so far im fine with the camera
Review: i just bought a hp ps735 a present for my husband for our anniversary. reading all the reviews seems to be balance thats why im rating it 4stars. but so far i had the camera for a day so i cant say too much about it...and i dont know if im keeping it while i can still return it. like some people would say the batteries seem to show a bit problem. i tried playing with the camera and video clips so far it works awesome im happy with the video clips i can imagine i my husband can use video clips longer if he gets a bigger mb. anyways im scary about the battery problem since i know my hubby likes to play with the cam. i still have 90days to decide to keep or return the product as i was told by the sales clerck at target 15% of $199.00 to return or exchange is not a big deal if it breaks within 90 days i dont have to pay anything. right now ill keep the camera and try to get energizer industrial batteries and see what happens. i will let u know if im 100% satisfied with the hp ps735. all i can say is that before purchasing anything make sure that if u are not satisfied with the product u may return or exchage with the one u like to get and so far hp is the best product when it comes with computer so as compaq.

Summary: I'm loving mine
Review: I love my camera! The lady who gave it a bad review sounds like she wasn't too paitent with it..I was worried if I had gotten a jicky one at first, but after playing with it for awhile and leaning all that it can do I love it..plus it prints out perfect pictures! I bought rechargeable batteries and a charger so I don't have any problems with running out of batteries when I'm using it awhile, plus the more I recharge my batteries the longer life cycles they seem to have (Duracell). It's simple to use even with all the options it has, such as portrait shot, action shot, landscape, burst of pictures, video and audio recording options, so on and so on. It does have a slightly delayed flash depending on the flash you use (reg., auto, red-eye, night, no flash), but it hasn't been a problem for me. I especially like the self-timer..we took a family portrait in front of the tree and gave them for X-mas presents! I would reccomend this camera to anyone who just likes to take pictures for fun like me...five stars!

Summary: HP Photosmart fabulous!
Review: I love this camera! I sold a 2.1 megapixal HP to upgrade to this one. The photos are fabulous, the camera easy to use. I have no problem with fuzzy pictures as one of the other reviewers stated. I would recommend this camera to anyone.

Summary: My Second HP Camera! And this one ROCKS!
Review: I owned HP's photosmart 315 camera for the last 3 years and decided to upgrade to the HP 735 and WOW! am I glad I did.
This is one fine 'automatic' camera and I am having loads of fun with it. They really thought this one out well. I also bought the 'dock' and it is making my life with this new camera so much easier. It recharges my batteries without taking them out of the camera and it hooks up to my TV to view my photos there if I wish.
Two things I would recommend you upgrade as soon as you receive this fine, easy to use, camera:
1. Purchase a set of NiMH/1800 to 2200mHh rechargeable batteries. (Use the set that comes with it in your child's toys.)
2. Upgrade that 16MB memory card that comes with it to at least 124MB SD card or even an 256MB card. You will be glad you did. Like any computer, we always have to upgrade that memory!
HP products ROCK! No other for me. I highly recommend this camera with all it's ease of use features for the 'snapshot enthusist'! Which most of us are.

Summary: Great photos for a small price
Review: I purchased this camera before taking a trip out West. I'm not a great photographer but found that this camera took good quality pictures without much fuss on my part. I liked the fact that I could change the picture quality settings to hold more pictures (I took 92 one day without having to have a memory card) and I liked being able to set the camera to landscape or portrait or action mode depending on my subject. I found it very easy to use. It's also possible to fine-tune your settings if you're a more experienced photographer. I thought it was a really good value.

Summary: A decent camera for the price
Review: I purchased this digital camera for my wife for Christmas after comparing some 6 different cameras. This was our first digital camera, but we pretty much knew what to expect.Some of the negative reviews I believe are a little unfair. The picture quality is completely dependent on the photographer. The camera allows you to take 1, 2, or 3 "star" pictures. The 1 star photos are the poorest quality - we found them to be equivalent of taking pictures with a cheap disposable camera. But the higher star photos are quite good, and we had no problem using the zoom. Two words of advice - since you will need to take 2 or 3 star photos for the quality, you will also need to purchase a memory card expander. And this camera is a monster on batteries - we used Duracell Ultras for our first pictures and the batteries died after 10 pictures. My suggestion is to use the camera's manual viewfinder whenever possible, don't take too many video or audio clips, and buy decent rechargable batteries. The viewfinder was easy to read, the directions were clear, and the camera is easy to use. For people interested in purchasing their first digital camera who don't want the poor quality of a 2MP camera and/or can't afford a 5MP, this is a smart purchase.

Summary: Horrible Camera
Review: I purchased this product in August of 2003 and have had problems ever since. I returned it within a week because of the battery life. The second one was returned because the battery compartment broke. The third one was returned because of an internal lens problem and it took horrible night pictures. And now the fourth camera is being returned for the same problem as the third. Hewlett-Packard will not give me my money back, they will just keep sending me replacements, they will not give me a free upgrade, and they will not extend their warranty. I do not recommend this product to anyone unless they have money to throw away.

Summary: wonderful product...learn how to use it
Review: I read multiple reviews...not just on this site, how this cam can't take indoor or dark pics, or how it eats batteries like mad. Well, I'm here to tell you that if you read the manual, learn the different modes and qualities and so on, you won't have any problem indoors, or in dark. As far as battery consumption, I am on my first set of batteries and I have taken 60-70 pics, plus uploaded 2 sets to my pc via USB. Now, if you have your red eye flash on, normal flash on, and are using the lcd screen as a viewfinder then, yes, you will burn up batteries...but if you are outside, and you are using the normal view finder and no flash, or inside and mess with the modes of capturing, then you will be fine. like I said...I have taken alot on one set. The quality is amazing, adjusting the saturation and modes and such is a snap, and it is big enough to be useful and small enough to be portable. The video capture is great too...64 MB card will give you about 4 1/2 minutes of video with sound at pretty good quality...fun for emails and such. So there it is. A great camera with quality pics and good solid construction...and with a little messing around the quality will only get better, I found a new hobby.

Summary: Promising features, disappointing images
Review: I really really wanted to like this camera - it's 3MP, 3x zoom, uses SD cards (major factor as I already had cards) and has a decent price. When I got it I started taking test pix but many of them were very blurry - you apparently need a super-steady hand to avoid any blurriness with your pictures. Even when the blurriness wasn't there, the pictures were grainy and the colors just didn't look very good. I took many test pictures and compared them to the old pictures I took using my Canon S110 - there just wasn't any comparison: The Canon pix looked way better than the HP's. I'd say try it out in a store if you're thinking about this camera to make sure it's what you want - you apparently have to mess around with the controls a lot - which I didn't have to do on my old Elph S110 to get good quality pictures. The pictures looked Ok when viewed on the computer screen at half size but when you opened them up to their full size, they just had many tiny colored dots on most surfaces and weren't very sharp. Sorry HP, I really like the idea of this camera but the pictures just didn't cut it. I went ahead and returned it. :( I give it two stars because of all the features but the picture quality wasn't what I expected.

Summary: A decent camera for the price
Review: I recentley purchased this camera from target. I now wish I had purchased it from target.com, due to the $ 50 mail-in rebate. But, anyways the camera is a solid performer, I purchased it for taking basic everyday pictures. The 3.2 megapixels are more than enough for my photos. The zoom is the reason I bought it (15 x total zoom). I am happy with it overall. The uploading process is fairly easy too. If you plan on purchasing this camera, be sure to buy good batteries (NiMh) and a charger. You will be set to take pictures for a long time. The battery cover is very flimsy so be careful there, so you may want to buy a camera case. The internal memory is allright, but dont rely on it to store all your pictures. I also purchased the 64mb memory card and at the lowest quality you can take over 400 pictures with the card. The video mode is suprisingly decent, but don't expect to shoot whole concerts. Overall, for the price its a decent camera.
