4.0 out of 5 stars Is This Dock Really Necessary?, January 23, 2004

By	Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I really did not want to buy a camera dock, as I felt they were 'extravagant', but I quickly learned how handy they are. First, I always know where my camera is - and believe me, I tend to lose things. Digital cameras use a lot of batteries and I used to have a special double nickel battery on another camera that lasted a while, but was nearly $16.00 per battery. The NiMH batteries (Nickel)are rechargeable overnight, so all I ever need is an extra set to alternate. The dock is also always attached to my PC, so I can easily download my pictures by simply placing the camera in the dock. There is also an extra line to connect your dock to your TV to view you pictures, but this is extraneous, as I just watch them on my computer monitor. You can also send your photos to email, a folder, PhotoShop or any other destination you want. I like the fact that all I need to do is install it once and just take my camera from it when needed. The only feature I feel is really unnecessary is the remote control. However, if you do use your TV, this could be handy for couch lovers. For the price, it is a handy tool to have around. This camera dock is very easy to use and a space saver. It looks cool too.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, December 6, 2003

By A Customer

This compact desk item works very well - just like the ad promises. It comes with two set of batteries (one set rechargable andone set for the remote). This is one item you will want to help organize your pictures and to show them off to friends and family!

1.0 out of 5 stars Dock overcharges and damages batteries, January 24, 2004

By	"richard7734" (Carlsbad, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I bought the 8886 dock along with a photosmart 935 camera.
The dock is convenient for transfering pics to the PC.

But my dock overcharges the batteries.
You can feel the camera getting hot to the touch after it's been sitting in the dock for a while. The labels on the batteries start to bubble and peel off. It's left melted material around the battery contacts inside the camera.

A recharging dock should allow you to leave the camera plugged in, and shouldn't overcharge your batteries or damage your camera.

I am very disappointed in my 8886 dock purchase.
