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.

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.......2002-04-07

I expected this player to be extremely cool, but it isn't. Not only could I not get the full advanced resolution DVD-Audio to work, but this thing wouldn't even play most of my CD's, including the brand new Ozzy Osbourne remasters. I was very disappointed. The picture quality was also [poor]compared to my old player, and I was using a gold plated S-Video cable. My old player is a Panasonic, and I am very happy with it, which is why I bought this one, I just don't know what happened. Now it is possible that I received a defective product, but I would think twice when buying this item, and if you do, be sure to save your receipt.

So far so good.......2002-02-20

After my Panasonic A110 died after three years, I started thinking about another Panasonic non-progressive player (no digital TV for me yet), but was put off by the frequent on-line user comments about the dreaded "H02" error message, which also translates as "Your player is shot." People were getting these after only a few months, and let's face it, getting these puppies serviced is no picnic. But along comes the brand-new RA60, and, think I innocently to myself, maybe they've gotten the bugs out by now. Checked a few on-line reviews and comments, and everything seemed positive, so I gave it a shot, along with a three-year retailer warranty, to ease the pain of any future problems. So far (one day!)the unit's a champ. DVDs look and sound great, the features are nifty, and the MP3 player has played everything I've thrown at it (something my Philips Expanium hasn't done). There are no MP3 tags displayed, so you have to know what's on the disc, but navigation is simple. Supposedly there are MP3 tags shown on the newest Pannie (priced significantly less than this one), but the A/V specs aren't as high. If this unit starts acting up, I'll be back posthaste to edit this review, but so far so good.

Decent Lens, Very Fragile.......2007-09-19

I was given this lens as a gift from my father after he'd used it for about 5 years. Between he and I, this lens has broken 4 times. Three times the aperture mechanism would begin to stick, causing error messages on my EOS 10D. Currently, the autofocus has stopped working all together, though the manual focus still works just fine. When it works, it's a nice lens. It is sharp, had good color and takes good pictures. In fact, I really enjoy it. Be prepared to spend a lot of money on filters, though. At 82mm, good filters don't come cheap. This is a good lens, but it is likely to give you headaches. Consider buying Canon's 16-35mm or 17-40mm first; it may be worth the extra money. In fact, Sigma has another version of this lens that has a 77mm filter size for less money. I'd certainly take that one over this one.

Good optical quality. Great service.......2005-01-10

I had this lens for about a year. Its optical quality is good. Sharp image in both ends of the zoom range. The service of Sigma USA is the best. I got a problem with the HSM of the lens after one year, just weeks after the warranty expired, so I called their customer service to see what they can do. They offered to fix the problem and treat it the same as within warranty. So I mailed the lens to them. To my surprise, the lens is fixed and shipped back to me within one week, without charging me anything, even the shipping. This is truly outstanding customer service.

Good ultra-wide angle zoom.......2001-02-15

I purchased this lens for my Canon Elan IIe in June, 2000. I've run about 50 rolls of print film through the camera with this lens and have been very satisfied with this lens. Please note that if you get the Canon EOS mount, the HSM is "micro-HSM," which like Canon's "micro-USM" does not allow full time manual focus (you must toggle a switch on the lens barrel to go from autofocus to manual focus). Filter size is 82 mm, which is large and increases the price of filters. The up side is that I have had no vignetting with a Hoya HMC skylight filter (normal, not thin width) a very good performance with an ultra wide angle zoom. Minimum focus distance is 0.5 meters (about 19"), slightly longer han one would like. Flare seems well controlled with the included hood and ghosting is minimal when shooting into the sun at f/8-f/16. Lens has very usable depth of field scales for f/11 and f/16. Nice sharp and contrasty results with this lens make it a bargain when compared to some of its competition.
