HP Instant Share technology enables the sender to choose from up to 34 preprogrammed destinations for their photos. These include two pre-configured local printer destinations (one or two copies) and up to 32 personalized destinations including e-mail addresses and HP Photo. What are the audio and video capabilities of the HP Photosmart 935 and 735? The HP Photosmart 935 digital camera captures short videos (with audio) of up to 60 seconds. The HP Photosmart 735 captures video clips (with audio) that are limited only by available space on the memory card. Both cameras also allow you to add audio notes to still photos. How does the direct print functionality work? You can send photos directly to a printer from the camera or dock, no computer required. Just use the USB printer cable to connect the camera to an HP Photosmart printer, select HP Deskjets, or select HP All-in-Ones (printer must be USBenabled). You can also use the optional HP Photosmart 8886 camera dock to printjust connect the dock to the printer and place your camera in the dock. If photos are tagged for printing, theyll print automatically when you place the camera into the dock and press the unload button. What is the benefit of a larger lens? Big zoom allows you to "step into" the action from a distance when you cannot physically walk up to it or your physical presence would disturb the shot. For example, you may want to shoot photos of wildlife, but may not want to get too close. With a big zoom, capturing a select portion of a landscape, like small wildflowers, is also possible. What is the battery life with the HP Photosmart 935 and 735? The HP Photosmart 935 and 735 have advanced internal circuitry that consumes less power than earlier designs, so batteries last longer. Average operating time is dependent on several factors such as zooming in and out, using the flash, scrolling through menus and more. Also, if you choose to use optional rechargeable NiMH batteries, the quality of the batteries and the length of the charge will affect battery life. "Live View" and "Playback" displays show battery level at all times, so you will always know when you need to recharge or replace batteries. Back at the start of November 2003, I wrote a review of another HP digital camera, the HP Photosmart 435, a 3MP model. That review was hard to write, as I have had good experiences with HP products for a number of years, and the 435 was simply the worse HP product I had ever used. To give a fair review, I had to score that camera very low, and a part of me just could not reconcile the fact that HP had made a bad product. With the HP Photosmart 935, I feel that HP has vindicated the trust I have always felt for their products. While not perfect, and in fact flawed in a very few places, the HP Photosmart 935 is a great camera, one I would happy replace my aging Kodak with. The HP Photosmart 935 is a 36-bit 5.3 -megapixel digital camera sporting 3x optical zoom lens, using a 7.6MM - 22.8MM Pentax Zoom lens. It also has 7x Digital zoom, which for any serious picture taker or photographer knows to avoid like the plague. (Digital zoom is worthless if you want quality pictures.) The 1.5 inch backlit LED (521x218 pixel) digital viewfinder is remarkable in its clarity, but suffers from the same ailment most viewfinders on digital cameras does, which is blurry and hard to view from any angle except right behind the unit. Not a criticism of the 935, but simply pointing out the need for better LCD's in all digital cameras. The controls are easy to use, in both settings and operation. Too many cameras try to pack as much controls as they can on the top and back on their digital cameras, and while there are quite a few on the 935, all buttons and controls are easy to use and in appropriate spots, rather than a hodgepodge of tiny buttons clustered together. Kudos to HP for understanding that a degree in engineering should not be needed to simply change shutter speed, or even turn on/off the viewfinder to save battery life. Speaking of battery life, I found that the HP Photosmart 935 goes through them like there is no tomorrow. A brand-new set of Duracell batteries (the 935 uses two AA for power) only lasted for fifty pictures before running too low to allow the viewfinder to work. While battery life can be prolonged simply by not using the viewfinder, getting close to 250 pictures before needing a battery change, I found that the 935 still used up batteries faster than any of the previous digital cameras I have used. I do applaud HP for using standard AA batteries rather than the more expensive, and harder to find, CR-V3 variety, power consumption may be an issue. Look for rechargeable batteries for this unit.
