3.0 out of 5 stars Dock works great, rechargable batteries don't last, November 24, 2002

By A Customer

I've been using this dock with my HP 812 for a couple months now. Dock works great for unloading pictures and recharging batteries. Much less hassle than using a cable. Only complaint is the batteries, Energizer NiMH AAs, don't hold much of a charge. Regular alkaline Duracell AAs last longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend, April 22, 2003

By	"rnnrbls" (Yukon, OK) - See all my reviews

I purchased the HP PS850 digital camera last month, and also ordered the Dock at the same time. I'm glad I did.

The dock makes downloading your pictures so much easier, and it comes with 4 rechargeable batteries. Plus, the batteries recharge when the camera is in the dock.

I've taken several hundred pictures on one charge, and I always use the LCD screen, as well as zoom in and out, review pictures, and delete them. Even with all that, the batteries have never run out on me.

I highly recommend getting the dock for your HP digital camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good deal if you don't have a card reader or charger kit, December 4, 2003

By	jemaerca (River Forest, IL, United States) - See all my reviews

the hp 8881 is compatible with hp's 320, 620, 720, 812, 850 and 945 cameras. each camera comes with a dock insert so that they can use this universal cradle. this cradle is small, lightweight, and very portable. it charges the camera's NiMH battery pack, connects via USB to your computer for downloading files, and connects to a TV for slideshows.

you don't really need this cradle since you can replicate its functions with a card reader, battery recharger kit, and RCA cables to connect to your TV. but it's a lot more convenient to just drop your camera into the cradle to download files and start recharging those batteries....

a final note. this cradle offers a regular usb computer connection. it would have been nice to have usb 2.0 for faster downloads but maybe for the next product iteration.

i hope this helps you with your buying decision. peace.
