Product Review Photosmart 435 Digital Camera (3.1MP,...

Strengths: easy to use. User friendly. transfering the files is easy

Weakness: Power consumption too high.

You don't need to read the instructions manual because it is easy to use. It has a microphone built in that makes your video recording with sound. Most cameras don't have it. Once you connect the cable to the computer and turn camera on, the system starts to transfer the files to your computer. Power consumption of this camera looks like it is too high because batteries' life is too short.

Basic point-and-shoot digital camera

Strengths: Light and easy to carry around; decent picture quality; video and audio capture; inexpensive.

Weakness: No optical zoom; bloated HP softwares.

Not a bad digital camera for a first time user like myself. Fairly easy to use and pictures are ok as long as the object you're trying to capture isn't too far away. Optical zoom would greatly help here but the price would be significantly higher too. The digital zoom does wonder up to a certain point, until you start seeing pixels on the LCD screen. I've been using rechargeable batteries from...

Strengths: EASY TO USE

Weakness: N/A

I HAVE BEEN USING THE HEWLETT PACKARD 435 DIGITAL CAMERA FOR 7 WEEKS NOW. IT TAKES VERY CLEAR PICTURES AND IT VERY EASY TO USE. THE BUTTONS ARE SIMPLE YET THEY HAVE COMPLEX FUNCTIONS. EVEN MY KIDS COULD USE IT AND TAKE GOOD PICTURES. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT FOR THE MONEY

HP (Hewlett-Packard) Photosmart 435 3.1 Megapixel...

Strengths: It was cheap, got it in a bundle deal with a compact photo printer. Small and pretty.

Weakness: Horrible battery life though i've found recharageables do last a little longer... i'm not sure that they're reccomened though. Unless lighting is perfect pictures are super grainy.

Couldn't imagine an easier to use set up... but with conveniece comes a price. i went through a 12 pack of batteries the first week i had it, first few photos were perfect and i was amazed, later in the day i found that perfect photos were few and far between as you need perfect, natural lighting. But, yeah, it's cheap & easy i take lots of pics of my cats with it.

HP (Hewlett-Packard) Photosmart 435 3.1 Megapixel...

Strengths: Sturdy build, yet feels light. Light drain on batteries. Pictures are rather sharp for a camera without optical zoom.

Weakness: Well, it only has dig zoom. Many other similar equipped cameras are available with more features.

I really liked this camera as a back up and I let me kid bring it to school. It's something I don't have to worry about being knocked about and stuff as it is a sturdy camera. Rather a plain Jane in the looks dept but it does deliver a nice picture and it can be printed without the need for a computer too. Of course with a computer u can send it to print or email a picture right off.

HP (Hewlett-Packard) Photosmart 435 3.1 Megapixel...

Strengths: Low price, compact size.

Weakness: Regular batteries (not Lithium).

For the price, you can't beat this camera. 3.1 MP is all you need for 4X6 pictures and the HP name is very reliable. Good camera for the price.

HP (Hewlett-Packard) Photosmart 435 3.1 Megapixel...

Strengths: Simple to setup and use. HP software works well for most routine photo work.

Weakness: No optical only digital zoom-prevents seeing what you have by looking through the viewfinder. Must use the LCD to preview the photo.

Easy to use camera. Great entry-level camera and the price is very competitive for the quality. The sliding lens cover doubles as the power switch- could result is a battery power drain if bumped on. SD memory expansion in addition to 16MB internal memory is nice-but you can't use both simultaneously.

HP (Hewlett-Packard) Photosmart 435 3.1 Megapixel...

Strengths: Easy to use, can take video clips, 16MB built in memory

Weakness: Mediocre image quality, low battery life, boxy and unattractive, small and grainy LCD, no optical zoom

This camera is clearly aimed at beginners. It has no optical zoom and no manual features. Everything is done for you - the camera has auto focus and auto white balance. It comes with 16MB of internal memory (expandable using SD cards), so it's ready to use right out of the box. Image quality is mediocre, at best. Colors aren't very accurate. The camera has a tendency to oversharpen the images...

HP (Hewlett-Packard) Photosmart 435 3.1 Megapixel...

Strengths: It's an HP

Weakness: No manual zoom

Excellent entry level digital camera. Plug and play with iPhoto, no need for the accompanying software package. At the end of it's product cycle this 3+ MP was the best buy compared to other brands with similar features.

Strengths: Easy To use

Weakness: none

Got this as a temp camera till I get my camcorder. Have had 3 in the last year. This camera is the best by far. The shutter has a clide cover that turns the canera on and off. (OPEN the shutter turns it on close the shutter turns it off. The camera automaticly knows what I'm doing when downloading or viewing photos. Reall user friendly. FIVE STAR

HP Photosmart 435 Digital Camera Review
