Summary: It went back to the store!
Review: I purchased this camera after having a cheap Fuji digital for a few years. I wanted to upgrade. Took pictures in all kinds of light, and all the pictures were of poorer quality than my old Fuji camera. I took it back, and got a Kodak digital for a few dollars more, and it has beautiful pictures! Also, you Have to use rechargable digital batteries. Regular batteries last for a few pictures only. The lens in the camera is stationary, so I think it will never focus as nice as a movable one.

Summary: Decent quality
Review: You get nice pictures at the daytime, though the digital zoom doesn't help much, When you get used to the light adjusting features at night, you can take decent quality pictures. i had problem when using it on cold temperatures because the camera didn't turn on but after several attempts. This could be the major drawback of the camera, but in summary I recommend it for those who don't need an excellent quality on their pictures. The price tells us that.

Summary: Horrible Product
Review: This camera should be taken off the market. I understand at this price-level you can't expect the quality of a $500 camera but even at $20 this camera would be overpriced. The image quality is very pixalated. I have seen 1 Megapixel cameras that take better pictures than this one. The battery life indicator is always showing batteries that are half drained; even with new batteries. The viewer looks really bad and cannot keep up with any movement. I brought this camera back the next day. I purchased a Kodak 6330 for a few dollars more and am very impressed with it.

Summary: Value its price
Review: Great for outdoor pictures and travel: fast, light and reliable. Pictures taken with flash at night are not great, and tend to a blue tint, but they are pretty decent, you can fix them with Photoshop. This is not a big deal, since practically all the pictures I take with a canon Powershot G2 always need a fix in Photoshop too.It is quite obvious you can't do professional photography with this camera, but if you have to travel, and don't want to risk an expensive digital equipment, this is a great choice. Buy from the start a couple pair of recharchable batteries, because the life of an alkaline in this camera is a joke.

Summary: The HP Photosmart 433 really isn't that bad.....
Review: Ok, so I'm no camera expert, but I assume the experts wouldn't be looking at this camera anyway. This is a cheap camera, that allows you to do a lot with it, considering. Digital photography is not my field, however I did study photography and understand the importance of image quality. This camera isn't meant for your professional shots, but it's really small, and easy to use, and the pictures come out just fine. I use the camera mostly to take pictures of my family and friends, and for trips, and have yet to be disappointed. I haven't missed out on any really important pictures, and I actually managed to catch some really great serial pictures with the speed of the recharge of the flash, while my friends Nikon Coolpix 5400 which is about five times more expensive, took like three seconds longer per shot. Some pictures do come out blurry, and wierdly tinted, but it's just a gadget and I've seen that happen with the best of 35 mm cameras, and better and more expensive digital cameras. How many times have you had pictures developed to find that some of your favorite shots didn't come out?? It happens to the best of us. At least with a digital camera you can see when the pictures don't come out right, and try again. No gadget is perfect, and without any glitches. I also caught some really sweet videos of my niece, with decent image quality, and the sound was great. The zoom could stand to be a bit less pixelated, but I haven't missed out on any pictures yet for lack of zoom, which is the alternative for a camera this price. The alkaline battery life is ridiculously short, even with Duracell and Energizer super-duper batteries. But, you can manage just fine with two sets of rechargeable batteries, or Photo Lithium batteries, which have a nice battery life. Overall, I take this camera with me everywhere, it's just that small and light. Captured some really fun shots of friends, and family, and even some great videos (assuming there is good enough external lighting). And have even managed a whole day with rechargeable batteries, and longer with photolithium. A cheap, user-friendly camera perfect for travelling, and everyday use. Nothing too spectacular, but a good priced camera for everday people. If you're looking for optical zoom, and amazing image quality invest the extra money.

Summary: I wouldn't recommend it.
Review: When I saw the camera, I thought it was too good to be true, and I was right. I thought it was awesome to have a 3.3 MP camera for only around $150. When I got it the first think I noticed was the the LCD screen was choppy. It kind of disappointed me, but I thought maybe it was normal and I continued using it for awhile. The pictures seemed fine on the camera and on the computer, but when I got them developed they came out awful. A lot of them were dark and blurry, only a few came out good. The zoom feature made the pictures blurry too. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this camera.

Summary: Great way to invest your money w/o return!!!
Review: I am a lover of Hewlett Packard products! However this is the absolutely most frustrating product I have ever purchased!! It runs through batteries like water! I have spent over $30 in rechargeable batteries in addition to the 2 batteries that comes with the Hp Dock 8886. I purchased a didgital camera to be able to use the LCD view screen but this screen is very blurry!!! Overall for the price it's what's you get. I'd recommend this camera only to some one who is interested in investing in the battery market ...with no return.

Summary: So dissapointed!
Review: Please don't waste your time on this camera. I bought this camera for Christmas and for 2 weeks I took pictures and without a single shot that I liked. Every picture is blurred to some point, some more than others, but all blurred. I'm just so dissapointed.
I have returned the camera. It is NOT worth the money! It should be discontinued or recalled it is so bad.
I have nothing good to say about it. Worthless.

Summary: We're impressed
Review: After receiving this camera as a Christmas present, me and my husband quickly learned how to use it. (Which is not always easy for my husband to do!) Yes, it is true that the battery life of the camera somewhat stinks, but as long as you buy the rechargeable batteries and the AC adapter- you should be fine. If you are a photo fanatic, with hopes of becoming the next Olan Mills, this camera is not for you. But if you are the average, everyday photogropher, who enjoys taking simple pics of family and friends at a low cost- this camera is definatly for you. Not a bad price for a dependable, little camera, that is also very portable.

Summary: So so...
Review: I bought the camera because it was 'cheap'. I could have got the 635 for the same price, but thought that a 3Megapixel camera w/5times digital zoom must be better than a 2Megapixel with a 3times optical.
Less than a week after I bought it I returned it to 'upgrade' to the lesser HP 635.
3x optical, 4x digital with more features. Odd. I take better photos with less 'megapixel' than with the higher. Oh well. Live and learn.
Batteries are gone in like 20minutes, the screen is slow and choppy, indoor photos are a waste of time.
Spend the same money and get the HP 635. You'll be happier. But as an entry level, it's pretty good. You WILL get tired of it fast, took me a whole week.
