don't know how well it worked. however I havn't recieved any complaints from the recipient so it must be O.K.

Received my camera dock for my 735 camera and had the same problem some others described. That is that I put the rechargeable camera batteries that came with the product in my camera and put it on to charge and the batteries would not charge. They were just too dead. So I did have to go out and buy new rechargeable batteries, then it worked fine. So give that a try.

Worthless. I'm mad. I can take one picture after sitting in the charger for a week. Then I have to recharge again.

I bought my HP Photosmart 735 at UBid.com and bought my HP Photosmart 8886 Camera Dock and separate Carrying Case with NiHM Battery Charger here at Amazon. The 8886 "DRAINS" the batteries within the camera. They won't charge while in the camera as advertised. I can charge them in the separate charger that came with the case, but, in the camera while in the 8886 Dock.......NO WAY! I read other reviews here, and I'm surprised that the 8886 hasn't been recalled or that an admission of problems with the battery charging capability hasn't been posted by HP. Since I can download from my Camera directly to my PC or Printer, and I have the battery charger that works GREAT! I'm going to send back my 8886 Dock. There's just no reason to keep it, and I too had a problem with HP's online Live Tech Support. The Tech told me to try a different outlet for my dock although I was getting good A/C power from the current outlet to the dock. In other words; the Tech had not a logical answer for my Batteries not charging within my 735 Camera. Maybe the dock charges batteries in other Camera Models besides the HP 735......I don't know. I thought the Dock would be a great and practical accessory, but, turns out my carrying case that came with 4 AA or 4 AAA NiMH capacity battery charger is the way to go. I don't need to have a dock to watch on TV when I can use my computer or printer. I'm very disappointed in the HP 8886 Dock and the HP Tech Support.

This HP docking station does not charge batteries. It will give you error message "Batteries cannot be charged" when batteries run low. After spending weeks e-mailing and calling HP "support" I am about to give up. This an $80.00 plastic holder for your camera. Very dissappointing. HP sells to the US, they should have customer support in the US.
