Cons: lots of the features are quite slow, no sound when photographing, hard to see monitor

The Nikon Coolpix 775 The camera itself is pretty compact measuring only about 2.5 inches tall and about 3.5 inches wide. This means it isn't much bigger than something that can slide right into your pocket, and is one of the main selling ...

Pros: Fun, inexpensive, takes lovely clear pictures, and it just works.
Cons: Needs PLENTY of light; Weak flash; Reds "pop out" a bit; Forgets some settings.

You'll like this camera despite its quirks, if you're willing to take some time to learn to use it well. For quick point and shoot, it's acceptable, but it won't blow you away. There are a few types of scene which any digital camera will struggle with, ...

Pros: picture quality, picture-taking modes, size, weight, battery life, software, connectivity
Cons: questionable reliability, possibly faulty design, poor customer service

Background If I recall correctly, I received my CoolPix 775 as a Christmas gift back in 2001, when it was a relatively new offering. Back then it cost a whopping $400. Its pocket-friendly size and low weight impressed me, as did ...

Pros: Great value for money if you are a reletive novice.
Cons: Quality of long range shots is not great.

I bought my Nikon Coolpix 775 in January of 2003 just after my daughter was born, so I could take plenty of pictures of her as she grows up. Back in those days the camera had a high street price of nearly £300 but by the power of the internet I got it for ...

Pros: Small size, 2 megapixels, one button image transfer, Li-Ion rechargeable battery included.
Cons: No spot focus, slow ISO 100 sensitivity, feels kind of cheap but isn't.

I am a huge Nikon 35mm fan. I have owned an N70, F100, and currently own an F5. So when I decided to go digital, I went to straight to Nikon. I wanted something simple, primarily a camera to capture images for sending emails or photographing items to...

Pros: Compact size makes it perfect travel camera.
Cons: Proprietary battery and small resolution limit it to novice users.

Before my recent vacation to South America I was desperate to get a digital camera. I partly wanted to deter the cost of film developing, but I wasn’t in the market to purchase a four or six mega-pixel camera, so I knew that whatever I purchased...

Pros: Ease of use, low price, rechargeable lithium-ion battery
Cons: lens design flaw

When it comes to photography, I admit that I’m not much more than a novice, but I do know electronic equipment and what to expect from it. Because of my inexperience with still cameras, I hesitated even writing a review of the Nikon Coolpix 775, but the...

Pros: Light Weight, compact size, excellent features for the money
Cons: LCD screen hard to see when turned to a verticle position.

My wife and I had been looking for a good digital camera, and we went to a long time family camera shop where we had made several purchases over the years. We looked at the Sony cameras, and were turned off by the memory stick format. The salesman...

Pros: Small, lightweight, fast and easy photo transfer to the computer
Cons: Disappointing if you're accustomed to Nikon pro equipment!

Background:
I have been using Nikon 35mm equipment for over 15 years. I'm hardly a pro, but I have taken lots of classes and shoot with a Nikon N90S (high end amateur, low end pro model). I guess I'm spoiled! Unfortunately, I don't have...

Pros: small, lightweight, inexpensive, takes excellent macro shots
Cons: slow startup time, blurry shots of moving objects

This is my second digital camera. I paid about $300 for it online. It is now selling for around $400 in stores, so I suggest you use mysimon.com and look for a deal online. Just make sure you read reviews of the online retailer before buying!!
...

Pros: great for people with time on their hands.
Cons: A twenty dollar camera sold for over three hundred.

This Nikon coolpix 775 was an unexpected christmas gift last year. At first I raved about it. I loved the small size and the 15 second video feature. It lasted 4 months before the lens first stopped working (jammed in the open position). We sent it...

Pros: Size, styling, quality of pics, different auto settings
Cons: Speed, some PC interface issues

I'll admit that I chose the 775 over competition largely due to its styling, but overall the camera served me well and repeatedly impressed friends who used more expensive digital cameras.

I remember reading reviews by professional photo sites...

Pros: Very light, good LCD Screen, Small, NIKON!, Lots of Features, Lithuim-Ion Battery Inlcuded
Cons: Feels a little cheap, not the best quality, mere 8MB card

When I first bought the Nikon 775, I was amazed by it's small, light feeling. This was the main reason I bought this camera, and now I was impressed.

I also liked how Nikon managed to include a Lithuim Ion battery with a charger to the $400...

Pros: Rechargeable NIMH battery, recharger & all cables, small & compact.
Cons: Slow picture taking, possible lens issue & slow picture review.

I purchased the Nikon Coolpix 775 around November 2001. I purchased the camera exclusively for taking Christmas pictures of my family & making a video for distribution to the family members. The camera did take pictures very well at first but after...

Pros: Plenty of features (zoom, movie) and good optics for the price point. Easy to use.
Cons: Weak flash, settings reset after power-down, slow.

Optics do matter, and I guess the Nikon name is more than just print on a digital camera. I tried this in a test against a Fuji 2.3 mp digital camera, a model that I like a lot, and the Coolpix beat the Fuji for clarity on shots of the same resolution. ...
