Rating: Summary: Nikon Coolpix 775 Review: The Nikon 775 Coolpix digital camera is a great camera no matter where you are. It has 3x optical and 2.5x digital zoom so you can get close up. It can shoot a 15 second video. The package comes with the camera, a lon lasting rechargable li-lon battery, 8mb compact flash card, battery charger, 2 cords to hook it up to your computer and one to hook it up to a tv or a vcr. Its pictures are great quality with its 2.1 mega pixel. It weighs less than 6.5 oz.
Rating: Summary: One of the years have to buys Review: I love this camera. I got it for Christmas and i have had the best time learning how to use it. It is easy as anything to learn. I like taking it to party's and stuff. It's a great deal
Rating: Summary: Great camera except in low light Review: I like almost everything about this camera. It is easy enough to get started quickly; but, it has plenty of advanced capabilities to explore. The rechargeable battery is terrific. The size and shape are perfect for me. The picture quality on screen and in printouts seems quite good if taken in bright light. The only drawback I've noticed is the poor quality in low light situations. The multi mode flash works great but only within a short range.
Rating: Summary: Great little Camera Review: This is a great little camera if you are looking for a fun compact digital camera for email and photo printing. The camera is very simple to operate, and the software was a snap to load and use on the computer. The camera comes with everything you need to get started except a sufficient flash card. It comes with the 8mb flash card which is not enough to do anything with. But Nikon is not alone in supplying such little memory, just about every camera in this price range come with the same size flash card. The camera takes great pictures and is definitely a bargain. You can find them for a great price if you look hard enough.
Rating: Summary: Upgrading to a 2.1 Nikon Review: I have been delighted with the quality of this little gem. I had a much more expensive Mavica which I donated to a local school because they needed its simplicity and I needed something that would take quality shots. I got one of the 96 mg cards to go with it and use the "best quality" setting. We're leaving soon for vacation and looking forward to trying it out even more...
Rating: Summary: Fantastic camera for casual and amateur photoenthusiasts Review: It's been a month since I bought the camera, and so far it has proven to be a smart buy.I bought the camera for [amt] from one of the internet photo stores. The 7 "scene modes" do a good job for automatically setting aperture and exposure settings. However, those willing to be experiment will be rewarded with a pleasant surprises. What's really interesting with the scene modes is that they have uses beyond the names of the situations that they target. Try Sunset during the day, for example, for a more Golden Hour look. Try Beach/Snow on a back-lit subject for a different, moodier sort of lighting. You can really experiment with this little Nikon.The colors are wonderfully accurate, even with the auto setting. There is a manual white balance in addition to the 5 "preset white balance settings." Just place a white piece of object in front of the camera, and it will automatically adjust the color balance of the shot. This is really great when you have multiple sources of lights and/or if you know you have sufficient light and don't want to use the flash. Contrary to what another reviewer has said in here that may be misleading, I haven't yuet found a single instance where there are red/blue/breen banding on pictures taken with sufficient light. He is probably talking about the amount of noise in the picture when a scene is taken without sufficient lighting (very low light conditions). I still have to experience the "sunspots" he was referring to when taking photos with the speedlight (Nikon's word for flash). Some of the photos do not come as sharp as I'd like them to be (at least on screen), but when I printed them out on a 6-color Epson photo printer, they look amazingly like normal 35-mm prints. This camera (like those from Sony, Epson, Casio, etc.) saves additional info in its JPEG files called "Print Image Matching (PIM)" that when printed on PIM-enabled photo printers, the colors are richer and hues truer to what you actually saw when you took the photo. All the above plus the 3x-zoom and the ultra-compact and go anywhere light weight makes this camera a smart buy. Simple interfaces and modes for casual point and shooters while giving amateur photoenthusiasts a lot of options for experimentation even if it doesn't truly have a manual mode like the more expensive cameras. Plus the batteries and recharger are included!
Rating: Summary: If you are going to write a review... Review: at least be fair about it. To take a few pictures in a store, then come on Amazon and write a negative review is totally lame. I just bought a Nikon 775. I love it. I narrowed it down to either the 775 or the Fuji 2800, both were the same price. The Fuji has more zoom features, but I am using this as a "point and click" camera, so the Nikon's 3x zoom should be plenty for my needs. The 775 is the perfect size, has a great manual and is ready to go right out of the box. If you are looking for a 2 mil pixel camera..., go with the Nikon 775, you won't be sorry.
Rating: Summary: Disappointed, at best Review: After reading all the rave reviews, I was ready to buy this camera. But I wanted to see it in real life, just to ensure all the reviews where genuine. And so I did. And in one word, I would have to say I was Disappointed. First off, it takes about 1-2 seconds for the shutter to respond from when you take the photo. That might not sound like much, but from the 10 shots I took of people walking in the store, everyone of those shots resulted in the person completely out of the scene by the time the shot went off. So I guess if all you want to do is take still photography, this might not be a big deal. Second, the flash didn't work for more than 5 feet. I took photos inside the store, and anything beyond about 5 feet, turned out to be pretty dark. I compared these photos to a Canon s110, and the canon took far better photos inside the store. So that's my review. I was extremely disappointed. I like the size of the camera; i like the preset modes; and i like the nikon brand, but these two issues where just too much for me to overlook.
Rating: Summary: Washed out colors that NikonNet recommends only 4x6 prints Review: Immediately after purchase I took shots of my son's birthday party at the Rainforest Cafe which is admittedly low indoor light and on vacation in New Orleans where it was sunny and 80degrees fahrenheit with great outdoor weather. I was extremely disappointed upon return since I tried to print about 5 out of my best 128 ++ shots and was advised by both NikonNet and Ofoto that I shouldn't print higher than 4x6 (I shot these on Full and fine quality on a 128mb card)! Another reviewer complained about washed out colors. Don't commit to this until you try printing -the ultimate test - most anything looks good on your computer screen. Terribly disappointed because I now have a boatload of expensive addons to deal with.
Rating: Summary: nice combination Review: for its features, there is no better combination than the coolpix 775. have to admit that the software was buggy but i have been using a pmcia card adapter to transfer pictures between my digicam and notebook. But if you look at nikontechusa.com, they have just released the new software a few days ago. try it to see if it solves your problems. the only bad thing i don't like is its slowness in flashing but then again, i haven't really finished studying the features yet so i might be using the wrong setting
