Pictures are ok, but EATS AA Batteries by the dozens........2007-03-08

While HP did a pretty good job with this camera, someone forgot to figure out how much power it takes to run it. If you have this camera, buy stock in a battery company just so that you can get some of your money back over the next few years. I have gotten as little as a dozen pictures out of a fresh set of batteries, to as many as 25 pictures using high end batteries 2800 mAh batteries.
Rechargeable batteries are a mixed blessing. The hp photosmart 8886 docking station will recharge your rechargeable batteries when you put the camera in, but there is no trickle charger feature built into the docking station. This means that your batteries will charge up, but then sit without any maintenance cycle to keep them topped off for you. So, your batteries may well be dead in a week or two even though the camera was on the docking station.
Not very well thought out at all.
Optical zoom provides good pictures.
Digital zoom starts going down hill very quickly to the point of not usable.
The video clip feature is very choppy, so not that great compared with other cameras in this price range.

All in all, I'd pass on this camera if I were to buy another one. The battery eating power needs are just too great to make this a user friendly battery.

HP 935 Experiences.......2006-05-18

I have owned this camera for approximately 2 1/2 years, and my experience has been very frustrating. Rarely do I get a good picture when using the zoom (very noisy). I have also experienced many problems with taking pictures indoors, and in low light. The most frustrating problem is that I can take multiple photos of the same scene with the same settings and get different results (some light, some dark, contrast inconsistencies, color inconsistencies). I have also experienced the battery drain problems that other reviewers have reported, but have had great results using Lithium batteries. About have the time, the camera gods smile, and the camera takes a great picture, but I've lossed two many precious moments to take another chance. Time to get a new camera.

The Great and the bad.......2006-05-11

I really love this camera. I got it two years ago for christmas, and I can't explain how much I love this thing! The only problems I have are that its impossible to take pictures indoors. Like at a concert or graduation or something like that. And the battery life sucks. But if you purchase rechargable batteries, it works much better.

Worst digital camera.... ever.......2006-02-25

I bought this camera at Sears about a year ago. It was origionally listed as $353 but I ended up getting it for only $118. This camera has MANY cons and hardly any pros.

-->The audio is junk.
Anything above a whisper makes the audio clip so you just get this annoying loud ticking as audio (in videos and audio comments). It makes the video mode completely useless.

-->Picture quality isn't all too good.
I expected much more from a 5.3MP camera than this one offers. The picture quality on it's highest setting is all but decent. It's barely acceptable in any other condition than high light outdoors photography.

-->The flash is HORRIBLE!
There is absolutely no happy medium with it. it either over exposes the picture, or underexposes it. Any low light situation results in pictures with alot of noise and blurryness.

-->Battery life is NONEXISTANT!!!
This is the absolutely worst feature of the camera. It takes about 5-10 pictures on a brand new set of duracell photo batteries (the kind that cost almost $10 for a pack of two). Recently I was taking pictures of my girlfriend and I went through 22 Duracel AA batteries.

The only pros of this camera is that it's digital and not film, and that it boasts a SD card that my laptop has a built-in reader for. I was much happier with my Cannon Powershot S10 2.1MP camera.

I own a nice 35mm SLR camera with many differnet lenses and accessories, and I now use that camera more than the digital becuase of all the cons this camera has. I would rather pay to get my film devoloped and have decent picture quality than use this digital camera.

Overall rating: 1/10
Would be good for a novice user looking to make printouts from a photo center or computer, but for anyone that has a slight interest in photography, you definately need to look elsewhere.

I own TWO of these.......2005-12-30

Being very careful about my investments, I researched digital cameras in my price range ($200-$300) for a long time before committing to the HP 935. I went to several on-line review sites that had side-by-side comparisons, and one even offered image tests against the comparable Canon. I like color. Real life vibrant color. In all the tests, the HP beat the Canon. I bought it and haven't regretted it yet.

My entire online gallery is filled with examples and I have won awards at a national web site (33 times) against thousands and thousands of other images. Some people complain about the HP 935 image quality in low light settings. ANY camera in low light will have it's difficulties without the use of a tripod or manual settings if you wish to avoid flash. By using a tripod, and manually setting the HP 935 to aperature priority, 100 iso, turning off the flash and triggering it with the built in timer, the camera then automatically determines the length of exposure and is usually VERY accurate. I wish I could provide a link to some subground level images I took - the colors are vibrant, true and virtually noisefree.

If you follow the instruction manual, this camera will do everything PLUS....EXCEPT for produce speed shots. Sorry. That is where it falls down. It can not compete with the rapid shots of the cameras out there that cost 3 to 4 times as much. It is just SLOW in comparison. And I mean SLOOOOW. If I could change ANY thing about this camera, it would be to speed it up. But I like to think that the reason it is slow is that it has to take it's time to give me those great shots. Quality over quantity. ;)

Battery issues? Well - okay. But remember it takes a lot of power to make those great shots. lol Also, when the camera shows the batteries are drained, power down. Count to ten. Power back up. Instant battery life. BOTH of my HP's do this and reading other's feedback, I see this is common. You can do this sometimes for an entire day in the field but you still need to keep spares on hand. Eventually the batteries really are drained. (My Olympus drained batteries far worse)

Macro - once you learn the tricks of using this function, it is very handy!!! Until then, it might drive you batty. My Nikon and Pentax film cameras do the same thing this does, so I was prepared.

Telephoto - I rarely use it. less noise that way. This camera takes such large sharp images, I just normally shoot and crop what I need.

Not a perfect camera - just perfect for it's price range. That is why I bought a second one. Buy a tripod, rechargeable batteries and you will be set.

As Advertised.......2007-05-17

This is a great ink refilling kit that really does as advertised. I was able to refill my Dell Photo All-In-One Printer 922 without much trouble even though there wasn't instructions for that particular model.

Will definitly order again when I run out of black ink. Plenty of ink for their prices.

Product Description

There a little absurdity that can be observed among active walkers, joggers, and runners. While great attention is placed on proper balance in clothing and sneaker support, little is given to how a CD player is held. Proper posture alignment would indicate that it shouldn't be hand held while moving. This oversight might actually promote back pains. A little CD pouch case may prevent them.

Customer Reviews:

Very good, Could be made better........2007-01-03

Belt is well made has excellent features. A huge improvement would be a bit of stretch or elastic in the belt. Waist size will vary from day to day, sometimes, due to clothing bulk. fyi: I use mine in the gym, when walking and when completing chores such as car washing and gardening.

excellent product.......2006-07-01

This portable cd holder is perfect for me. I work out regularly and it has been perfect for the gym. My cd player fit fine and there are 3 slots for extra cd's. I like the feature of the headphones attaching to the outside of the pouch. I would recommend it to anyone.

Everything I was looking for!.......2005-01-10

I am very pleased with this item. It is fits comfortably, holds my CD player snugly and has room for my ID, keys, extra batteries & CD's.

Tough to close .......2004-12-01

It takes 20-30 seconds just to zip or unzip the thing. As I pull on the zipper, it bunches up in front, so I have to pull it taut from behind or the zipper can't move. Disappointing. I guess that's the hazard of buying online/unseen.

Satisfied .......2004-07-26

After going through the reviews of other products I finally decided that this was the one I wanted. I was so excited when I got it and to try it out. I usually go jogging in the mornings.

The belt DOES fit real comfortably. It's a really great design, but my CD player was a little too small I guess, so when jogging, the music stopped and re-started when I walked. I'll have to add my own extra padding. But don't be disheartened with my review. Overall it's a really cool bag. Pretty strong. A great buy if you just want a bag to hang out or do routine walking exercise with. The only prob was my sexy slim player, so be sure yours is big enough before you buy the bag.

Not worth the money!!!!!!!.......2004-03-20

Save your money, I've heard $20.00 pairs of speakers with better sound. They have no bass what so ever. It was like listening to music through two tin cans.
