Customer Reviews:
A Decent Snapshot Camera, but Buy a Newer One.......2006-08-23
I have owned this camera for almost 3 years now, and it is the sturdiest and most reliable one that I have had. Once, I dropped it from 5 feet onto a sidewalk and it didn't even get a scratch. The outdoor picture quality is excellent, as well as the macro mode, but if you have shaky hands (like me), you will have a ton of blurry pics. The screen just can't compete with new cameras, being too small and dim to see outdoors. The flash is weak, but if you know how to use aperture and ISO settings, indoor shots will turn out pretty good. Personally, I think buyers would be better off buying one of HP's new R-series cameras (R717, R817, etc). While this camera is cheap and pretty reliable, the newer models have much more features and are still around $200-$300.
okay.......2006-04-05
this cam was great when untill the flash didnt work! i went online for support but after talking to them, they said it was a internal malfunction or something like that but by then the warrantee already expired so im stuck with a flashless camera. Ive miss many special moments due to no flash. and its really hard taking pictures with no flash and no tripod.
But overall good camera! batteries seems as though they die quick but like i turn it off for like a few hours then the batteries came back to full power again. The video mode is pretty good....i also recommend using the power adapter when possible! that way you can turn the camera on as long as you want without worrying about the batteries dieing out!The printer is a really great printer as well!...but sadly i cant live any longer with a flashless camera so im going to sell this up or just give it to my brother or something and saving up for a Fuji Finepix s5100...Good luck!
Solid, Dependable Camera.......2006-02-14
I have owned my hp photosmart 735 for about 3 or 4 years and have never once had a problem with it. It was a dependendable and consistant camera. My friends have many other types and have had to go through repairs and problems but not me. Everything that this camera says it does, it does. I have never had to worry about it quiting on me.
So in my opinon if you are looking for a dependable camera, this I would defintly label as one of them.
use it right, it does the job.......2006-02-02
This was my first digital camera and it's because of this camera that I stuck with HP when upgrading. It's a very good point and shoot camera with enough modes and settings to satisfy those who like fiddling with such things.
Many of the reviews here complain about battery life. Turn off the live display, you don't need it anyway since the viewfinder is accurate. I never got *fewer* than 60 pictures (sometimes more) in two star mode with the live display off, on a pair of 1800 mAh rechargeables. I also had a big difference when I changed the auto shutoff to a shorter time period.
Also, yes, you need a memory card -- but what digital camera doesn't? I had a 64 MB card with mine and only once completely used the card up.
Shutter speed is a little slower than average for the class but fine for everything except action shots. Lens glass is by Pentax and is good quality. No, you won't get digital SLR quality from this camera, but at
<$140 it's a great deal.
horrible waste of money.......2005-12-21
You can literally take 8 shots and the camera is dead. I've missed so many photo opps. Definitely NOT worth buying.

Customer Reviews:
More trouble than it's worth.......2003-09-25
I have had several of these in the office and have trouble with them all. 3 of them experienced premature hardware failure. 2 of them were discarded when the computers they lived in were upgraded and the software they came with no longer worked. I had to purchase new software from Iomega or go without them. It made more sense to upgrade to a faster drive which included software than to buy new software. I would reccommend you buy a different drive. You'll have less trouble. I have had other Iomega products also which were all prone to failure such as zip and jaz drives. Do yourself a favor and buy from the big boys.
Is it Windows that's causing the problems??.......2002-12-09
I bought this CD-RW over a year ago, when I was still running Windows. It was pretty wacky then, doing all sorts of things to my discs and the OS! Dunno it that's the software or what...anyway last fall I switched my computer over to Linux and this burner has WORKED LIKE A CHARM! Linux users, note: Mandrake and SuSE both recognize this flawlessly. The program cdrecord will recognize it but won't let you use DAO ...however the app cdrdao works great with it (and it's frontend, gcdmaster)! I've burned over 200 discs with this burner I've bet and only a handful have been losers, and out of those I bet only 1 or 2 were due to things beyond my control. Cheap discs (don't get cheaper then PENGO I bet), pricey discs, all burn very well - some faster than others (the Blacks are the slowest at 2x, TDK or Fuji the fastest). I would buy Iomega products again.
Had some problems with it.........2002-11-01
Some problems I had with this drive..excessive time reading a cd..sometimes it takes a minute or two for the drive to read a cd. When erasing a CDRW cd, it says erased successfully, however the files are still on the CD. And the most recent problem, when shutting down windows (xp or 2000), my computer doesn't shut down automatically due to the drive. if i disconnect the drive, then it shuts down fine. sometimes i can't even eject a coaster cd. i have to shut down pc, then start it up again to eject it.
Not too thrilled with this one!.......2002-04-27
This burner is rated for 8x writes, and anybody who's up on CD-RW drives knows that means it should be able to burn a full CD in about 8-9 minutes. However, this drive typically takes 15-20 minutes to burn A CD. Tried the support section of the Iomega website, but could not find an answer to this problem until I read the other reviews here at Amazon that mention certain brand media is required to write at the full 8x.
Well if Memorex CD-R's isn't good enough for Iomega, then this drive shouldn't be good enough for you. My Yamaha 8x performs great no matter what brand media you use, so I would recommend you take a look at one of those instead.
I think I'm really reaching here to give this drive three stars, but it does work........more like a 4x with most media. I'd probably be more annoyed if it was slated to reside in my primary computer.
Works great!.......2002-04-19
