Reviews for HP PHOTOSMART R-SERIES DOCK

Small, yet versitile!

Strengths: Compact. Comes with extra battery. Charges two batteries at once (one in camera, one in dock). Remote to view pics on TV!

Weakness: None.

This charger/dock does exactly what it says, nothing more, nothing less. It would have been very cool if they could have included a photo printer in with this as well, but you can't have it all :)

HP PHOTOSMART R-SERIES DOCK

Strengths: Product Performs Well and is extremely useful

Weakness: the need for the product as no tv output on camera

I bought hpr707 camera as highly recommended and the price for the camera and buying the dock was initially annoying b/c the extra expanse but a battery is included and on pricegrabber that plus the enhanced features it offers pays off. I would recommend to get with the camera.

HP docking stations for digital cameras

Strengths: A remote control and extra battery are included.

Weakness: One more remote laying around, more cords, and stuff that I don't want laying around.

I think its unfortunate that HP basically FORCES you to buy this dock just to view pictures on a TV. Most other mfg's allow you to plug directly into the camera, and straight to a TV, no silly/stupid dock to buy. HP misleads consumers saying this will work, but it didn't. I had to call HP only to find out I needed a special adapter. Sure HP sent it to me at no charge, but my point is it was an inconvienence for me, the consumer. I almost switched camera brands to something else.

HP Photosmart R-series dock

Strengths: Price. This item retails for over $75.00. The "Tech-for-less" price of 19.00 is a fantastic deal.

Weakness: It will not work with the R817/R818 camera without an adapter that is not supplied in the packaging.

I called the HP 800 number and I now have the R817/R818 adapter being sent to me and at no charge. The HP Photosmart R-series dock is well worth the price.

HP R-series Camera Dock-An easy-to-use item

Strengths: The dock is expremely easy to use and with the already installed HP software from the digital camera, set-up of the product takes less than two minutes. It is light wight and very compact.

Weakness: Thus far there I have not experienced any weaknesses with the product. However, the docks makes it easy to trasfer photos, but there are still wires to deal with. Overall, it was a great addition.

I really find it easy and reliable to use the r-series dock with my r717 camera. Connecting to the TV is a great feature, especially during social gatherings. The camera fits right in without a hitch and begins to transfer pictures with a push of a button. Great item!

Great functionality & a fantastic deal!

Strengths: Quick, easy setup and takes up little more room than the camera itself.

Weakness: A little slow charging battery in the camera.

This dock was a great purchase at less than $35 plus a $5 rebate from PriceGrabber. Arrived as promised and was up and running in less than 5 minutes. Camera and spare battery (which is $35 itself!)are always ready to go. Pressing one button on the dock allows for quick and easy transfers of pictures and movies, which my wife truly loves. Yet another HP product that does exactly what it is designed for. I would highly recommend the R-series dock, We use our camera more often since it's always ready, and that's why we bought it in the first place!

hp photosmart r seies dock

Strengths: It is easy to use. It came with a cord for the camera or dock, a rechareable ion camera battery which charges in the bay while the camera charges in the dock. Contains all of the wires for cpu & tv.

Weakness: Plastic part of the dock camera holder seems like it might not be durable for long term use.

I liked that all the pieces needed were included in the package. The extra battery was a bonus. Directions are very clear and easy to use. The dock has a bay for charging an extra battery in addition to charging the battery in the camera while it's in the dock. Batteries are always ready, when stored in the dock.

HP Photosmart R Series Camera Dock

Strengths: 1: Ability to charge two batteries simultaniously. Ability to display photos on TV without downloading to computer. Ablity to automatically send photos via Email.

Weakness: Charging of batteries a little slow.

I purchased my HP Digital Camera almost a year ago and have been wanting one of these docks to go with it since then. But the prices have discouraged me until I found it on Price Grabber at a greatly reduced price. The wait was well worth it. With all of the features of the dock it almost eliminates the need of a computer. I have only had the dock for a couple of weeks but it has already greatly increased the joy of owning a digital camera.

HP R-series dock

Strengths: Strengths: Extra battery, easy to use

Weakness: a little bit expensive

Very easy to use, make the camera always be ready to use with the extra battery. Be able to view the picture through TV with remote. The price is a little too much though, consider it only acts like a battery charger.

HP Photosmart R Series Dock

Strengths: Very easy to use and it charges both the camera battery and the spare battery at the same time.

Weakness: None that I can find.

This is a must have for any owner of an HP R Series camera. It even allows you to view you captured videos and photos directly from the dock to your TV and includes a remote to do this with.

HP PHOTOSMART R-SERIES DOCK

Strengths: Comes with extra battery and the ability to charge 2 batteries at once. Place to keep my camera

Weakness: the clamp for the extra battery feels weak like it could break

This charger does what it says. I really enjoy the added features of the dock. Gives me a "home" for my camera on my messy desk, and keeps the extra battery at full charge so I always have a spare. The TV function works of and the remote is a nice touch. However botton line I bought this for the included battery and ability to charge the battery in the dock and the camera at the same time.
