Rating: Summary: Great Camera in good lighting.. Very poor indoors at night. Review: [...]Ok, this camera is the complete package for someone just getting into digital photography IF they don't plan on using it in low light condtions. I'm in a band and a lot of the places we play are very dark. This camera is TERRIBLE in low lighting. If you are more than 12 inches away from your subject forget about the picture turning out. I've tried all of the available settings and none of them help. The only way I've been able to get acceptable shots was to manually set the Exposure to 2.0+ (the max setting!) This setting makes the images a little grainy. If this camera were better in low light I would have rated it 5 stars. If low light doesn't concern you, BUY THIS CAMERA! It's SUPER light, SMALL and comes with a rechargeable battery pack! The rechargeable battery last a long time. Like I said before, I use this camera primarily at night so the flash goes off with every picture. I have a 32MB and 2-8mb Compact Flash Cards and I can fill them both (about 250 pictures!) before the battery drains.. If Nikon can make the next version of this camera better for low light situations it will be unbeatable in the Price to Performance category. Hope this HONEST review helps. [...]
Rating: Summary: Thumbs-up here Review: Great compact point-and-shoot camera. - Small, compact, easy to use....it fits in our diaper bag! - comes with Lithion battary + charger - super easy transfering of images via a USB port. - pre-set setting making it a breeze to get the right picture You'll definitley need to buy a bigger memory card; 8M won't cut it if you're looking to shoot more than 15 shoots in "fine mode". That is if you're looking to print 8x10's..... Prints are sharp, crisp, clear, true in color......all around EXCELLENT photos. Not to mention the price has come down, which should make even more attractive.
Rating: Summary: Don't listen to the negative talking of this camera Review: I like this little camera. It has all the future I want, and the software installatiion is just fine. I recommend to everyone this camera in this price range.
Rating: Summary: Nikon Coolpix 775 Review: I have had the camera for about 4 months and am very happy with it. The camera is small, fits in your shirt pocket. It has alot of features of much more costly cameras. I have printed pictures, and the quality is outstanding!! We just made a Christmas card using it to take our picture on timed delay, with my tripod. I would recommend it to anyone. It is a must to buy the power cord for it (not included). I bought the camera with very little knowledge of photo practices. I have been having fun just with trial and error shooting. Buy this camera online and you will save a bunch!! Rick
Rating: Summary: Awesome Camera! Review: I have never owned a digital before now. I bought my Nikon775 about a month ago. The thing I love is you can delete what you don't like. I keep thinking all the money I spent on developing & now I can transfer them to the computer. The size is awesome. & fits into your shirt pocket for quick access. I still have alot of experiencing to do with it, which is fun. I'm sure anyone who buys this camera will enjoy it as much as I do.
Rating: Summary: Cool & Portable Review: Read several reviews, shopped online for a great price, and my first experience with a digital camera proved to be more satisfying that expected. The size and multiple functions give me ease of carrying and more features than I'll probably ever use. The cables supplied allow me to view shots on my PC or even on the family TV. No complaints at all as it is the handiest point and shoot I've owned (Sony Nuvius & Canon IXUS M1). Now I'm wondering whether I'll ever go back to my Nikkormat SLR. Looking forward to learning to use all the capacities of this little gem with photoshop manipulation and colorprinting as soon as I find the time. (N.B. Can lead to OCD!)
Rating: Summary: Check your computer before buying this camera! Review: How can a company sell a camera that they KNOW has software conflicts? As stated in other reviews, this camera does not work with Adaptec CD creator V. 4.0 and Media Player V. 7.0. Software updates may not be available until January! Two customer service agents admitted that they knew there was a problem, but the company chose not to notify the public. TELL EVERYONE... check your computer before buying this camera, or you'll be stuck like we were... with a good camera and no access to the pictures! Canon now has our business!
Rating: Summary: Cool Coolpix Review: I just got it yesterday and LOVE it. The styling, size, LCD quality...."Cheater" icons to help the beginner with settings for backlighting, portraits, landscape, lots of white, etc. and offer advance users ways to push shutter speed and focal distance so it is way more than just a point and shoot. The macro capability is awesome. The 8MB card managed to hold about 15 full sized high-res images, so the 64 ought to hold around 60, with more in the smaller sizes. Meanwhile it comes with batteries and a charger, unlike the similarly priced Canons. My only quibble so far is the software....perhaps a demo would help explain it. It hung my laptop twice, and it will take some effort to figure out how to name and organize images, or to edit them. Nikon apparently offers a Live Interactive Manual on their site (new!) but I've been unable to open it w/o hanging my computer. Anyhow, I'll figure it out or replace the software, but the camera is an excellent buy!
Rating: Summary: So-so camera from Nikon. Review: I obviously didn't expect a camera that is a fraction of the price of the 995 to match it in quality, however I did expect better than this. The camera has positives and negatives: Positives: a. As with all Nikon digitals as of yet, you can't beat the macro mode. b. The camera comes with a rechargable lithium-ion battery. However, in a pinch, you can walk into pretty much any drugstore or camera store and purchase a 2CR5 battery that will also run the camera (that's one positive this camera has over the comparable Canon). c. Nice, small body. Negatives: a. Image quality isn't fantastic. I've seen other 2 megapixel digicams that blow this away, specifically the Olympus 2100 and Nikon's Coolpix 950. b. Body is all plastic. Some see this as a positive because it decreases the weight, however I like something made of metal because its generally more sturdy and the weight doesn't really bother me. c. The LCD screen is fairly small. d. To attach the accessory lenses, you have to use a very chintzy, goofy looking adapter (the UR-E3). It wraps around the whole camera. e. Only comes with an 8mb card (comes on Nikon...8mb isn't enough for anyone). f. I have yet to see a Nikon come with a *good* software package, and this camera is no exception. In terms of the software you get with digital cameras, the stuff Olympus and Canon bundle with their cameras blows away the stuff Nikon includes. It's decent, but for the money you could probably do much better. If the size of the camera isn't important, there are other 2mp cameras in the same price range that are a little bigger but much better.
Rating: Summary: Easy to use Review: This my first digital camera, and I found this one very easy to use. I have not had any problems with the camera. I have read many complaints about color from this model, but to my surprise, indoors or outdoors, it has been excellent. I take close up pictures of military models that I build and they have turned out excellent.
I did not install all of the software bundle only the nikon software. I have my own viewers and editors, and I hate demos and uninstalling them or the pop up banners.
All and all I am very pleased and would purchase again if I had to do it over again.
