  • HP Photosmart. 430 series.. Not so smart after all.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 19, 2005
    Pros: Price, 5x digital zoom, Easy to use.
    Cons: Battery hog, Fuzzy LCD, Shutter lag, reliability.

    Summary: I recently received a Canon PIXMA IP5000 photo printer as a gift; the only problem was I didn't have a digital camera or any type of camera for that matter. Since I have had a positive experience with both my HP computer and DeskJet printer, I ... read more

  • A Good All-Around Camera!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 29, 2007
    Pros: Unique Styling, great all-purpose easy to use camera, quality photos.
    Cons: A battery piglet (not hog) and small LCD screen.

    Summary: First let me get my bias with HP cameras out of the way - I originaly purchased the HP Photosmart 735 and was very disappointed and eventually returned it as well as my enthusiasm for digital cameras. Given only the option of and exchange for 'equal or ... read more

  • Good things can come in cheaper packages!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 21, 2006
    Pros: Small, lightweight, easy to use! Color or black and white photo..you choose!
    Cons: Batteries just don't last! Image quality not awesome.

    Summary: I can't say much, this little camera has served me well. I received it as a Christmas gift from my parents about two years ago and it's still working properly and I haven't had any technical problems of any sort as of yet. If you want high quality ... read more

  • Would be a nice little camera - if it weren't a battery leech

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 20, 2005
    Pros: Easy to use, decent pictures and just the right amount of features
    Cons: Consumer Reports states battery life is 35 pictures; I wish they would last that long.

    Summary: I'm not a techno-geek or a photography buff. I bought this camera because it was decently priced at the time and had all the megapixels I thought I would ever need - not too few but not so many that the camera shot out of the price-range I was willing ... read more

  • Despite their catchy commercials, an HP digital camera is Buyer's Remorse waiting to happen.

    Mar 16, 2005
    Pros: Cheap...uh...nice chassis...
    Cons: Battery Vampire, no Macro setting, poor LCD screen, fuzzy pictures...

    Summary: Right now there are some really cool HP (Hewlett Packard) commercials on tv in high rotation. They feature happy, fun, bouncy music, and innovative visuals, making photographs from moving images...the one you see most is the balding guy at his desk, ... read more

  • My First Digital Camera

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 30, 2004
    Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, decent digital photos, easier to use than a regular camera.
    Cons: The biggest con is battery life! It will drain the life out of batteries.

    Summary: Hewlett Packard PhotoSmart 435 Digital Camera is a digital camera for just about anyone. It is fairly easy to operate, takes okay photos and it is easy to download and share photos with friends. It is compact and lightweight. I carry it in my eyeglass ... read more

  • This time HP gives us the short end of the stick

    Dec 17, 2004
    Pros: reviewing photos, playback menus, HP brand name
    Cons: slow shutter, short battery life, unintuitive, boxy, poor LCD screen, flash, disappointing overall

    Summary: My friend and I always like to take pictures. Whatever the occasion may be, taking pictures seems like a good way to go in many aspects. My friend owns this HP PhotoSmart 435 Digital Camera, and yesterday at a concert I got to finally use it. I ... read more

  • Good for casual snapshots

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 3, 2004
    Pros: Good picture quality, print direct to printer, light weight and convenient.
    Cons: Battery hog, limited controls, colour balance not always accurate.

    Summary: I purchased this camera as part of a HP's Digital Home Photo Studio System. The price was right and the camera provides us with a second option for family use. Technically this camera is a real point and shoot variety, so don't expect to have too much ... read more

  • Consider spending a little more

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 8, 2004
    Pros: Light, inexpensive, good flash
    Cons: Terrible color balance, exposure, slow shutter response time

    Summary: I already had a digital camera I was happy with - a little Casio QVR 4 megapixel. But one day I found myself out of town, and needed a simple digital camera in a hurry. Rushed into the nearest shop and laid down $250 Canadian for an HP Photosmart 435, ... read more

    Pros: Small and light, easy to use, easy to download pictures onto computer
    Cons: picture quality, batteries do not last long

    Summary: I got this camera for my birthday because I wanted a camera that would take better pictures than my old digital camera. It's a very nice camera but I've already come across a few annoying problems. 1. When you take pictures of something from a ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 19, 2004
    Pros: Inexpensive, Great Image Quality, good MP to $$$ ratio, Uses SD media
    Cons: Off center tripod mounting hole, battery hog

    Summary: I bought this camera right before I deployed to Iraq. I have owned my share of point-and-shoot digitals, but I wanted one that would give me at least 3 Megapixel, so I settled on this one. My last few cameras have been HP, plus a Sony DSC-U10 in my ... read more

  • Do I have the same camera??

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 3, 2004
    Pros: Easy to use, nice pictures.
    Cons: Lots of settings I have never even used.

    Summary: I have been reading these reviews, and I have checked three times to make sure it is the same camera!!! I have owned this camera since September, and I have NOT had the same experience as these other fine people. 1. Image quality: This camera was ... read more

  • Don't touch it!!!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 16, 2004
    Pros: Easy to use
    Cons: Eats batteries, pixelation, dark pictures, horrible digital zoom, lousy value

    Summary: I got this camera as part of a HP combo that included a 7660 printer and 435 camera. My question is, how can they design a printer that could hold it's own against the competition and then fail miserably with a camera. I received the camera with 2 ... read more

  • Great Quick Snap Camera

    Summary: I bought the HP photosmart 435 as my third Digital Camera. I have had a Kodak and a Toshiba(see my toshiba review). I bought this camera because it has one feature that I could not find in more expensive cameras. It does not use auto focus it is fixed ... read more

    Pros: Image quality, easy to use
    Cons: Batteries run out quickly

    Summary: OK, I'm not an expert on the technical things about the camera, so don't expect that. But I'll do my best. First off, I got this camera about a week ago for my 18th birthday (thanks Dad!). Not knowing that there were a pair of batteries included, my ... read more

  • Okay "camera". Really just a webcam on steroids

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 11, 2003
    Pros: Nice look, small and light, quick load time, slide the cover open and shoot
    Cons: Worse picture quality than peers, poor battery life, inaccurate LCD

    Summary: This camera is a good deal at $100 or less. The best $150 camera is probably the Fuji Finepix 2650. In any case, the camera has a lot of limitations. The battery life for this is very short, regardless of using a rechargeable battery or not. It doe ... read more

    Pros: None
    Cons: Not enough space

    Summary: Hp 435 Photosmart's rear screen cracked easily. Called HP for solutions. Repair (expected) more than worth. Given opportunity to exchange camera for "upgrade" to HP307xi (only option given) for $111. Since 3 day return policy in effect I decided to go.

    Pros: good price, nice looking, good company backing it, durable.
    Cons: uses a lot of batteries, contrast issues in pictures.

    Summary: this camera took alright pictures but it really chomped up batteries. even the lithium rechargable ones. don't even bother using normal alkaline batteries with it. you might end up getting 3 pix out of it. HP is a great company though, but i don't think
