Nikon Coolpix 775

I find this Nikon Coolpix 775 camera very annoying because when you want to look at the picture you have just taken it takes ages and ages, especially when you're trying to flick through your pictures.

I have had my Nikon Coolpix 775 camera for nearly four years and would not change for a new or other cameraEasy to down-load photos to Computer or Photo Printer. Excellent camera Takes great photos from very fine to normal.Has timer, takes close-up photos with no fuzz and distantHas video, night, winter and bright functions

Terrible. I've had this camera for over 2 years and I hate it. One thing is that it's frustratingly slow. After you snap a picture, it takes about 5-7 seconds to load and process it before you can take another one. Also, I hate it because it's bulky. It's so heavy and wide in width, I feel so ashamed with it when I see my friends pull out their sleek, shiny new Sony cameras. Only good thing is that it has lots of settings (11!!!) while some cameras have a meager three functions(camera, record, play). That's my two cents. As soon as I get a job, I'll ditch this camera and buy one of their newer ones.

I would never say that this was a great digital camera, but it was good until the system errors appeared. My Nikon Coolpix 775 was never dropped and never mistreated.

My Nikon Coolpix 775 digital camera was not mishandled, but when I went to use it recently, I now get the famous System Error.

I love the features, and quality of the photos I got from my Nikon 775, but the other day without warning I got this "System Error", and the lens assembly froze open. I went online to see what info I could find, and realized that this is a very common problem. I strongly suggest that no one buy a used 775 online, because it appears to have a severely limited life span.

Great quality photos in good light, or short range indoor photos with the flash.

But, poorer quality photos when outside in lower light (even using the features to compensate for this).

Most frustrating is the inability to take good sports photos because of the delay between button press and photo capture.

Lots of good features.

Easy to transfer to pc with a usb cable.

Decent software bundle.

First malfunction came after 3 years - The flash has stopped responding - No idea how to get it fixed, but sounds like Nikon would charge far too much.

While the SYSTEM ERRORs do pop up at the most inconvenient times, I've always managed to fix them without opening the camera - a paintbrush and a little patience; the cause either a microscopic grain or piece of dust in the shutter, or the lens barrel, or possibly (but not probably) inside - there's an optical sensor on the lens motor shaft (a little propellor) that tells the camera's smarts that the motor has stalled, and pulls the plug on all functions. HOWEVER, like all of these things if it takes a knock, it's dead. I've opened it up and checked every plug connector I can find, all gears movements are still relatively free, and all the switches and buttons are functional. But when you turn it on, there is no sign of life whatsoever - no backlight on the display, no lens movement, nothing. Any ideas on what else it could be before I just chuck it?

Beware! I had owned my camera for just over a year when the zoom began to malfunction. It would not retract when switched off, then the camera would display "System Error". I managed to take a few photos before it refused to take any more - not good when you have no back up camera on holiday! I returned to Jessops feeling very annoyed. The warranty had expired but I did not expect a Nikon camera to be so unreliable. I was informed it would cost £124 to fix the camera - I complained. I was then informed they would charge £62 - I still complained. My persistance paid off as the camera is now to be repaired and returned to me free of charge. The whole affair has taken over three months to sort out - in the meantime I have bought a new Fugi Finepix F700 which I am extremely happy with. The repaired camera will now be used by a relative starting out in the world of digital photography - I certainly wouldn't recommend it for anyone other than a complete novice!

I have had my Nikon Coolpix 775 digital camera for 2 years. It has never let me down, locked up, or shown an error message. I use it in my work as an Accident Scene Investigator. I do not like the very slow reaction time, especially at low light levels, and the battery save feature. The camera is always "OFF" when I want to take the next shot.

However, well worth the money (I paid 386 GBP)
