Summary: It's a snap
Review: I thought this was a complicated camera when I first got it, than I read the book (parts of it). Now that I understand what all the little symbols on the top dial are for, it has become very simple to use. I have a problem however with the slow respose to the "take a picture" button. This seams to be a problem with many digital cameras. A friend has a top line 5MP camera which is not much quicker. (somthing for the digital people to work on) Never the less, this is a fine easy to use camera. Compared to some others it is a snap shoot. Printed a normal shot on a 11x17 HP1220c, came out fine, also an HP100 4x6 gloss--fabulouse.

Summary: Fabulous Family Camera
Review: Goes anywhere, great for all forms of family and vacation photography. Pass it around at a wedding for great informal pixs that will rival the paid photographer and it all fits in a shirt pocket.

Summary: Nikon Cool Pix 775 review
Review: I purchased my Nikon Coolpix 775 in Dec. of 2001. As of June 3, 2002, I have taken over 3,200 photos with this camera. I am VERY pleased with its small size and portability, the battery life, and the quality of pictures. It has a very good flash.The only disappointment I have had is that it is the equivalent of an ISO 100 speed film, and if there is much movement at all
there will be a blur. (For example, I took the camera to a basketball game and was unable to catch any of the action because everything blurred.) For portraits, landscape, and general snapshots this camera is great, and I would recommend it to anyone who is not interested in capturing sports shots.

Summary: Battery (EN-EL1) was dead after 4 times of recharge.
Review: I can only charged the brand new Nikon EN-EL 1 battery for 4 times. It is completely dead at the fifth time, it wouldn't hold anything. The NikonUSA... will provide only question answer service. I have talked to too many people including supervisors. They denied replacing a new battery for me but ask me to buy a new battery. Please note that they do not warranty the battery as they may know at first that there is a high chance of defection in the battery. Making money from selling a new battery to customers may be their policy. Be careful, compact camera but its battery only last for 3-4 times of charging. A new battery is not cheap. According to their policy, they will not replace anything for you, not only a battery. They told me over the phone that their mission is to answer customer questions. They do not stock any part or battery. I had to wait a long time every time I call NikonUSA. And they have never get my problem solved even once. Customer service agents at NikonUSA are not well-trained. They know too little about the products.

Summary: Software bad but camera great
Review: To all of you who had problems with the software - read the instructions! You only have to phone the company and they will talk you through what you have to do. They will also talk you through how to get the software to work if you have an updated windows program. Saying that once the software is installed it still isn't that great. I love the camera though. It goes easily in any bag I am carrying and has survived my 18month old dropping it to boot the photos are brilliant. And to the man who thought his wife's Kodak was better, wait until you see how long they last. I had to replace the two kodaks I have owned after less than two years!

Summary: perfect design & function
Review: This camera has been great for my needs and uses. The battery supplied, rechargeable, takes about 150 flash shots. After a night out pop it in the charger and your good to go the next morning. Ive added a couple of media cards, last one to the tune of 256Mb which when coupled with that battery makes for a blast. Its been proof tested on spring break trips to cancun and rosarito. one chip for the whole vaction, 400 plus photos. A fun filled camera to take out with you all the time. Drop it in your jacket, shorts, breifcase or...and go. its also sized/designed great to take your own portraits...no need to get somebody else to take your photo... stick out your arm and do it... its rugged enough for the occasional tumble (tested) I prefer this design style to the manual shutter door type. I have had to many of those wear out. Also like the preset photo modes... makes taking great photos real easy. Indoor, outdoor, party, stars, beach.... love the features, size, and weight. This camera has me thinking "was it designed for my needs?" oh and the software comments... got me.. i just loaded it onto my laptop and it works great. i never ran the demo. plug it in, turn it on and the photos software pops up. works great for me.

Summary: clear and compact
Review: Don't let the size of this camera fool you. Many options allow you to adjust settings as required. Excellent detail and easy to use. I am impressed at how long the battery lasts compared with others. The only thing lacking is the speed of an SLR camera. I'm sure there are more options like shooting 16 frames continuously that would take care of that!

Summary: Well, how many compromises can you make?
Review: I started to write a not-so-flattering review, and then I started thinking about the incredible technology this camera includes. At the price, it is pretty amazing...still... I have to admit that my wife's Kodak DC3400, bought on QVC, takes better photos. This pains me to admit more than you can imagine. But same day, same subject, same light...the Kodak photos are sharper, better color and the Kodak doesn't suffer from the darned shutter delay. This is really annoying if you are trying to get photos of something that is happening quickly and only once. Taking photos of a glassblower with this shutter delay resulted in lots of photos of everything but the moment when the blob of glass becomes an object. Very frustrating. And while it is a miracle of small size, it is simply too small. Live and learn. I'll keep it because I like having a camera in my briefcase at all times, and it is totally unobtrusive. But now I want something in the 4+ megapixel range, which is more SLR-like, and which has some heft. I'll probably go the 995 or G2 route, although all my Sony products (except telephones, for some reason) have been terrific, so the 707 might work. Why not go with another Kodak? Stupid but true answer...not enough gee-whiz factor.

Summary: Fun, Clear, but sometimes hectic.
Review: I bought the Nikon Coolpix 775 recently, and battled with the software for about 3 days until I finally called the company. They were helpful, until when I got off the phone the Cumulus software started saying it was full. Myself being not too computer literate, I was extremely aggravated. I got a friend to come over and solve the problem for me. Good thing, too, he told me that the Cumulus software was only a DEMO! I would not have had any idea, the product seemed to make it so that, in almost everyway (to me anyway), that this Cumulus nonsense was the software you were supposed to use. It takes you right to it automatically when you tell it to transfer, after all; not to the NikonView 4, which you are supposed to use from what I understand. So listen to the other reviews about "lousy software" because they are most definately not lying. If you have any problems don't bother fiddling with it for hours, a helpful Nikon employee should help you just fine. Besides the software, however, the product is, I find, great. The pictures are crystal, and can truely make something look a lot better and brighter than it really may be, especially rooms, various other indoor subjects, etc. It is also very easy to use, charge, and upload your subjects onto your computer (once you have the "lousy software" deciphered). Good Luck with you camera. *PS: This would have been 5 stars hadn't it been for the aweful software that came with the product.*

Summary: Incompatible with windows 98 upgrade
Review: Have 2 year old HP computer with a windows 98 upgrade second edition. Have not been able to upload pictures from camera to computer. Nikon states that the camera is incompatible with a windows 98 upgrade.
Nikon recommends using computer with straight 98 or a card reader.
