"Battery life makes it unusable" on
Pros: Price, audio capture, optical zoom, picture modes
Cons: adding to what everyone else is saying battery life sucks, annoyed that you need dock to get TV out, a feature available on cheaper cameras

"Good camera, good battery life." on by pbell3
Pros: Efficient memory usage, easy menu usage, good picture quality.
Cons: Slow picture execution AFTER you hit the button, extremely annoying. This forces you to watch the action thru the optical viewfinder (because the camera preview screen goes dead between shots) especially during action scenes.
Summary: The first one I got from Walmart had poor battery life (less than one(1) hour). I sent it back for warranty, HP sent me another one that worked correctly. Camera is easy to operate, loads pictures into my Macintosh without a whimper, takes pretty good pictures and they aren't too large to manipulate easily (like maybe inserting a picture into an email). I'm one of those guys that can make a convincing case against a large imager. I don't give a tinkers' damn about blowing up a picture or cropped results. I don't mess with pictures very much. I just want the camera to make a faithful representation of the scene I wish to shoot. The HP Photosmart 635 passes this test with flying colors. The only annoyance I have found, in day to day use, is the damn delay in executing the shot after I push the button (over 1 second and is something you folks have already mentioned). It would also would have been nice if the camera could preserve date/time and personal settings between battery changes, but that is a minor annoyance.

"Flash is off, and the video quality isn't that good." on by omgalexandra
Pros: I do like the coloring.
Cons: I think the camera could have been in better quaility, and it certainly does suck up the battery, which makes it unusual. Also, it twitches out whenever it feels like it, having the lens move in and out and the screen blinking with beeps

"The battery life is good for around 3 photos." on by richman800
Pros: It has an lcd screen. Simple to use for beginners.
Cons: Battery life, quality, reliability, value, size, speed.
Summary: This is an really awful camera. 2x 2500nimh batteries last 3 - 5 photos. Flash is out of time.
