Verdict of Nikon Coolpix 775
The Big Picture
The tiny Nikon Coolpix 775 is an ultra portable point-and-shoot photograph snapper for life on the go.
Launched in 2001, it featured a button on the back of its cigarette carton sized body allowing transfers of digital shots by one click to a website or PC hard drive via the included cable.
Coolpix 775 was the first camera with a one-click upload.
The 775 is made for one hand shooting and is designed to fit comfortably in the palm - the camera lets the index finger rest above the shutter button and leaves your thumb to control zoom and menu features.
Many of our reviewers are in love with it although a number have highlighted slow reaction times and software malfunctions.

Review Centre Opinions
"This is my first digital (I also have a Canon SLR) and I have been pleasantly surprise by the quality of the photos, both on a PC screen and when developed onto photopaper. Unfortunately the cameras worst point is incredibly frustrating: it is very slow."
"The Nikon Coolpix 775 is a nice camera for its price, I took about 3000 pictures with it, and I am still satisfied."
"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."

Nikon Sales
Nikon has one of the best reputations around for its photo and film products due to high-precision optics and innovative designs.
As such the Coolpix digicam range are among the most popular digital cameras on the market and the company is the worlds fifth-biggest seller of digital cameras.
Nikon has just announced a healthy 79 million dollar profit for the first six months of this year.
The Tokyo-based Nikon company is benefiting from rising sales of digital single-lens reflex cameras geared toward professionals and more serious hobbyists as increased competition in the digital market continues to push down prices.
Coolpix rides into the sunset
Nikon has this month announced its latest Coolpix compact digital camera range - in the company of Coolpix line.
The Coolpix P1, P2, S3, S4 and L1 digicams cover a wide range of budgets but share various common features, namely Nikons "D-Lighting" function which assesses captured images and automatically compensates for underexposure for whatever reason.
