The HP Photosmart 935 digital camera was awful from the moment we bought it! The batteries died in less than 15 minutes. We paid about $349 for garbage!

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!

The HP PhotoSmart 935's Picture quality is nice. However, power consumption is very high and can not give true color. Another, bad thing about this camera is its look, its finishing looks cheap.

First of all this HP PhotoSmart 935 is a good digital camera. It has a very high number of pixels, the image quality is good and it has a wide range of features.
Don't listen to other reviews that say that the battery life is a problem because if you use the camera effectively then it isn't. Simply purchase good rechargeable batteries (around £10 for four) and leave the camera on between shots, this saves power - turing it on and off is what causes the problems.
However if you want to take all your pictures via the lcd screen then I wouldn't recommend this as it does drain the batteries so use the view finder and the batteries will last easily all day and can then simply be recharged at night.
With a 256mb SD Memory card you will get about 200 very high quality pictures at a time.
I thoroughly recommend www.mymemory.co.uk to buy the memory cards from as they are about half the price of the shops (appx £45).
Shop around for a good deal on this camera, I've seen it as cheap as £185 which is amazing value for a 5m pixel camera with this many features.

The HP PhotoSmart 935 Digital camera is much better than I expected, the picture quality is excellent, I also think that the software supplied with the camera is easy to use.

DO NOT BUY THIS HP PHOTOSMART 935CAMERA!!! HP will try to tell you that the problem has been fixed and send you a replacement. They lie. The replacement is just as bad and you will waste hours on the phone with several people explaining the problem again and again. Also it has problems downloading to iphoto in osx.

This HP PhotoSmart 935 digital camera is rubbish just because of the power, and before you say "put new batteries in the thing" i have complained to HP and they sent me a new Camera and the new one was just as bad..and I updated the firmware, and bought new batteries. overall the camera gets a poor 1 out of ten just because of the power letting it down.....Don't buy this Camera for gods sake!!!!!
