Not worth the money spent on it. After reviewing info on my new digital camera I followed suggestions to get the rechargeable batteries kit to save money on AA batteries. I did not need the camera case that came with this kit, and it really had too many pockets for my liking. The batteries did not hold a charge. I only got a few pictures taken before they went dead. If the spare set sat in the camera for a few days they too were dead. At least I got a full set of pictures taken on the duracell ones. I would much rather buy batteries and have them on hand then always be running back to the charger after a few shots. I have had no experience with rechargables before so I do not know if this is common. But I returned this item as a defect because for this amount of money you should get more then six pictures per charge.

As far as the bag goes. Well, it's kind of a generic fit. Apparently HP uses it for several cameras. I don't care for the bag, it is functional though. The problems with the bag:

For one thing, the 735 camera is not a good fit. It goes in behind a tight elastic strap. If you aren't paying attenion, you end up turning the camera on as you slide it in. Of course, the lens extends then, and if you've got the bag tightly packed with batteries, I'm afraid the lens motor would be damaged. This is easy enough to avoid, but that one time you aren't paying attention..... Secondly there is just no good way to store batteries. The main compartment is divided by an elastic strap. The strap doesn't go to the bottom of the bag. Therefore, batteries are always getting up under the camera, and just aren't where they are "Supposed" to be when you need them. Minor annoyances, yes, but it would have been SO EASY to make the silly bag without this nonsense!

Batteries and charger: I have NOT had problems with the batteries like some said. I did follow the directions and charge them up, then run them fully down several times. Since I did that, they hold up better than alkalines. Maybe the others had bad batteries, or maybe they hadn't exercised them enough.

Bottom line. For the price it's pretty good, since you get 4 batteries. If you're watching your money, get this kit and you'll be fine. If you want or can afford something better, I'd skip it and get a better bag from a camera store.

It was a good value for the money, the re-chargeable batteries that are part of the kit are better than more expensive batteries bought at a camera retailer.

Is an product of great quality, is a kit complete kit of accessories for HP 435i Digital Camera
