Summary: Great little digital point and shoot!
Review: I'm a computer geek who has resisted the digital camera bug for a long time. In our house, we have an extensive collection of conventional still cameras, from the ever useful 35mm Minolta and Nikon, with their full assortments of lenses, to a fine old twin-lens Rollei and antique 8x10 glass negative cameras. While I'll put an 8x10 negative up against any digital image any day--it is much easier, not to mention instantly gratifying, to slip the tiny 775 into a purse, hip pack, or briefcase, take a record shot or two and ship them off to friends and family within minutes.This tiny wonder is incredibly easy to use, takes splendid pictures for online viewing, and the basic software, Nikon View 4 USB upload/image manager, worked just fine on PCs both at home and office with Windows2000. As for accessories, I do recommend splurging for the AC adapter, though. The little Kodak case is handy, too. It provides enough protection to keep the camera clean, keep the buttons from accidently being pressed--and fits like a glove. It also looks much snappier than bubble pack with a rubberband. ;-)

Summary: Easy to use, but still unsure of picture quality.
Review: I purchased this digital camera last summer. The 2 main reasons I chose it were its size and its movie feature. It really is small and I can carry it with me wherever I go, but as far as the movie feature goes, I haven't used it yet. I like to take pictures of my 1 1/2 year old son and since he is constantly on the go, it's hard to get a great shot with this camera because there is a few second delay between when you push the button to take the picture and when the picture is taken. I end up missing a lot of great shots. The camera itself is very easy to use and I don't have any trouble working it or transferring pictures to my computer, but the delay really bothers me.

Summary: Nikon 775, one great camera
Review: I did a ton of research on digital cameras and I decided on the 775. You cant beat the price and it's loaded with features. If you like taking pictures like me, and you want a camera you can point and shoot. This is the one for you. I must have taken 200 pictures with this camera in a 3-4 week period (night, day, sunny, cloudy, sporting events, parties...). All perfect. You cant go wrong. You just select which scene mode applies to your setting and shoot away. It cant get any easier then that. The photos I print are incredible. I am so happy I jumped to digital. No more praying for good pictures. I give the 775 two thumbs up. WOW! One very happen Nikon customer.

Summary: great first digital camera
Review: I love this camera. We got it for Christmas and have taken tons of pictures with it. The zoom capabilities are unbelieveable. It is lightweight and easy to use. I recommend it for the novice digital photographer.

Summary: A great buy !
Review: My first digital camera - after doing a bunch of research zeroed in to this one: has yet to let me down. P.S. Heard a lot of horror stories regarding the life of digital camera battries in general, this one comes bundled with a rechargable battery and charger - has a surprisingly long charge time and does the job perfectly well for me.

Summary: Nikon 775
Review: I selected this camera particularly because that while it has a rechargable battery, that if necessary you can use a 'one use' battery (2CR5). My wife has a Canon Elph. While this is smaller, it is consideably less simple to use. I particularly like the 8 different settings that automatically set things like white balance and flash mode. Of course, it takes great pictures!

Summary: Nice little camera
Review: Got the 775 as my first digital camera. I read and researched about digital cameras and decided to go with the Nikon 775. I was a bit apprehensive about loading the software after reading reviews from people who had difficulty with it due to other programs that they had on their computers. I also have Media Player 7.0 and the CDcreator program that others had trouble with, but my software loaded easily, and I had no difficulties with it. (I did not load the trial software)
I like the size of the camera and I think that the pictures come out fairly well, the colors are pretty good and the red eye reduction works on this camera for me. I am a bit disappointed with taking pictures in a fairly low lit room, as it is difficult to see anything on the screen before you take the picture. Because it is difficult to see, you end up trashing pictures and retaking them. There is also a bit of wait time when you press the button to release the shutter and flash and when they actually go off. I suppose I will get used to the delay, but may hinder taking action pictures when not taking a sequence of them. All in all, I find it is a good camera for my first digital and I found it easy to use, by just trying out the buttons, and not really reading the directions in the book.

Summary: Cumulus demo - don't inhale
Review: The demo version of Cumulus is a joke. I was able to load only 30 pictures across 3 uploads and then the application locked up saying I'd exceeded the maximum catalog size or maximum number of simultaneously open catalogs. And it appears to cost [price] to get a real working version. Why does Nikon even bother to include demo software that is so very limited? It's surely not enough to get a feel for the Cumulus product, and it has now colored my whole experience. My advice is just ignore this Cululus piece completely upon install. Other than this, camera has been fine so far.

Summary: Like the camera so far!!
Review: After researching digital cameras, I decided to go with the Nikon 775, for my first digital camera. I had read the other reviews before I bought this and was a bit apprehensive about the software that came with it. Others had mentioned problems they had installing the software because of other programs that they had, like CDCreator, and Media Player 7.0. I have both of these things, and did not have any difficulty with the software. It loaded quickly and easily. (Although I did not install the trial software.)
The camera was fairly easy to use and figure out by pressing the buttons, and not reading the manual. I have only tried the automatic features so far, but I think that the color is generally pretty good on the pics. I do find it a bit annoying that when you take a pic. in low light, it is hard to see what you are aiming at, and thus, you have a misaligned picture, that usually needs to be trashed. Another thing that is a bit annoying is that when you press the button to take the pic., there is a bit of hesitation before the flash goes off and pic. is taken. I guess it is something that you have to adjust to, and after speaking to a friend, I hear that it happens on other brands as well.
All in all, it is an easy to use, light and compact camera that gives the user a lot of options for the money.

Summary: You can probably do better
Review: While this camera does an acceptable job, you can probably do better for the money. The AUTO setting is very misleading. It is really more of a manual setting. I have been using a Milota camera for years and find it took better quality pictures with less need for adjustment. A friend told me that he has two relatives who actually returned Nikon digital cameras after initial use.
