HP Photosmart 935

HP takes over CCD-size bragging rights with the 5.3-megapixel HP Photosmart 935. Feature-laden as it is, the 935 has its sights set on the point-and-shoot consumer who wants something extra. The camera's ease of use is exemplified in the legible and...

HP Photosmart 935 Review

HP announced the five megapixel Photosmart 935 and three megapixel Photosmart 735 at the Photo Marketing Association (PMA 2003) show earlier this year. The 935 is a development of the Photosmart 812 design, this camera has a five megapixel 1/1.8"...

Good color reproduction, slightly below average resolution Superb automatic white balance, HP still have the lead in this area Accurate metering, good choice of exposure / tone curve selection Dynamic tone curves deliver consistent contrast and wide...

Some moiré color artifacts Lens soft at corners Very slow processing / file write times Slow live view refresh rate, freezes when camera is busy No AF assist lamp means moderate light is required to focus Few controls for shutterbugs (only two...

Here's my rating of the HP Photosmart 935: (5 megapixel compact)

HP PhotoSmart 935 review: HP PhotoSmart 935

Easy photo printing and sharing; simple menus.

Unusually frequent image artifacts; dark LCD with a slow frame rate; poor power management.

This camera's mediocre performance and mixed photo quality may frustrate even budget-minded enthusiasts.

HP Photosmart 935XI DIG CAM 5mp 3x Optical Zoom 7x DIG Zoom Camera

WHAT'S HOT: HP's first 5.1-megapixel camera, the Photosmart 935, departs somewhat from the rather clunky-looking designs of HP's older digital cameras. This silver, boxy point-and-shoot is solid and functional--an improvement over the vaguely toylike...

HP offers an optional $80 docking station for this model. It gives you a quick way to connect your camera to a PC or TV, and it includes a wireless remote for slide shows. The kit also includes a set of rechargeable batteries for the 935

HP HP PHOTOSMART 935XI DIG CAM 5MP 3X OPTICAL ZOOM 7X DIG ZOOM (HP (Hewlett-Packard)-Q2215A)

Easy to use and fairly compact, the Photosmart 935 is a fine family camera, especially for snapshooters who love to make big prints.

HP Photosmart 935 Digital Camera

, 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...

HP Photosmart 935

This camera offers point-and-shoot ease to budget buyers, but lags in the performance stakes, making it a wise choice only for less-demanding shooters.

Expert Review

The Photosmart935 ($449) is HP's first 5 Megapixel camera. While at firstglance, it may look like just another compact 5 Megapixel camera,the 935 has two features that really make it sound out. Forone, the HP Instant Share system allows you to "tag"...

Very good photo quality, Excellent Instant Share system + software bundle, In-camera help system is a nice touch, Manual white balance + limited aperture control, Optional camera dock great for showing off photos, USB 2.0 support

No AF-assist lamp, AF performance could be better, Movie mode resolution is lower than average, Some noise, jaggies, softness in corners of images, Camera doesn't store settings by default, Battery life seems worse than average, No video out port on...

HP 935xi 2-Tone 5.08 MP 1.5" LCD 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
