General Comments
I must admit to being a little disappointed when I first used the HP PhotoSmart 935 camera as it can be a little daunting to use at first as it's more than a point and click camera. There are plenty of features which are nice to play with as well as having lots of fine tuning options for image quality. Battery life is a real problem however AA Lithium batteries will solve this, do not use re-chargable batteries you'll miss everything at the school play!
Compared to other cameras at £185 it has better features and takes better images, 21x digital zoom is difficult to beat at this price.
It is bulky compared to similar spec cameras.
I would recommend perseverance as it's worth it in the long run!
