Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

If you're looking for a point-and-shoot, go-anywhere snapshot digital camera, the HP PhotoSmart 435 is a great choice. With its 3.1-megapixel resolution, you'll be able to print enlargements up to 11 x 14 inches. You also get HP's Instant Share Feature, a movie mode with audio, a 16 MB internal memory, and an expansion slot for adding SD and MMC memory cards.

Optics and Resolution
The PhotoSmart 435 features a 3.1-megapixel resolution (effective) that produces images as large as 2048 x 1536 pixels. It offers one low resolution mode: 640 x 480. A fixed-focus camera, the PhotoSmart 435 features a 5x digital zoom.

Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the PhotoSmart 435 can also record movie clips at 20 frames per second with sound. The QuickTime Motion JPEG format offers a limited resolution, which is great for capturing a short movie that can be e-mailed to friends and family, but is no replacement for a true camcorder.

More Features
With HP's Instant Share feature, you can customize your camera with e-mail aliases and distribution lists of your family and friends. For each picture, you can designate up to 14 destinations, including e-mail addresses, compatible printers, and more.

Other features include:

• 1.5-inch LCD screen
• Built-in flash with auto, forced on/off, red-eye reduction, and night modes
• Shutter speed: 10 seconds to 1/1000 second
• Exposure: ISO Auto (default), 100, 200, 400
• White balance: auto

Optional Camera Dock
The PhotoSmart 435 is also compatible with the HP PhotoSmart 8886 Digital Camera Dock, which enables you to easily transfer images to your PC or charge a set of included rechargeable batteries. Cutting down on desktop clutter, this convenient remote-controlled device enables you to transfer image files to your PC, print photos, or even view images on TV--all in one easy step

Storage and Transfer
Images can be stored using the internal 16 MB memory or on optional Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards. The internal 16 MB memory will store approximately 18 images at the PhotoSmart 435's 3-megapixel better setting (2048 x 1536). Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via ultrafast USB 2.0, which means it can be connected to any USB-compatible Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software. When used with USB 1.1 connection, transfer will slow to USB 1.1 rate.

Power and Size
The camera is powered by 2 AA batteries (alkalines included, rechargeables recommended). It measures 4.6 by 2.3 by 1.5 inches and weighs 6.4 ounces (including batteries).

2.0 out of 5 stars ehhh.., September 11, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: HP PhotoSmart Q3733A#A2L 435XI 3.37MP Digital Camera with 5x Digital Zoom (Electronics)

Went to (...) after my fujifilm died after 4 months- saw this gamera looks great- has that expensive touch to it only 128 so i thought why not?

i take it home read the entire booklet and test things out.. my batteries were low within 10 minutes of testing! this camera eats batteries FAST, all cameras eat them but this is unbelieveably fast!

the LCD screen is blurry and pixeled, when you view pictures on LCD its blurry until 5 seconds later it sharpen (i might have gotten a defect but it was the last in stock im not going through hassle)

movie feature- awful! when you watch on your computer its INCREDIBLY blurry sound is very low you have to really crank up your speakers.

i'm going to go for a sony or samsung.

3.0 out of 5 stars Takes Pictures, then Eats Batteries!, March 12, 2004

The camera works nicely and takes good pictures. Unfortunately, you can only use it for about half an hour before the batteries die. And don't even think about buying the camera dock with the rechargeable batteries... those batteries arrived dead on delivery and HP had no customer service number for me to call and no warranty card or information included. They say they have a 90 day warranty... good luck on getting any help. There must be better companies to buy from.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dead camera and not enough money to get another one, November 19, 2005

This review is from: HP PhotoSmart Q3733A#A2L 435XI 3.37MP Digital Camera with 5x Digital Zoom (Electronics)

I bought this camera and was so happy with it. I got married about 2 and a half months after I got it. After coming home and downloading the pics to my desktop I turned the camera off because it ATE a set of rechargeable batteries for a snack and burped them back at you. The next time I went to use my camera it would not turn on. I tried to take it back from where I bought it and it was day 91...you guessed it....they won't take it back. After contacting HP they said it would cost $140 to fix this hunk of plastic.....I didn't even pay that much for it. I will NEVER buy HP anything again. I thought they were a good name then a week ago my friends HP laptop literally smoked itself.....filled her whole apartment with smoke...way to go HP!!


DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!!
