    Terrible. I've had this camera for over 2 years and I hate it. One thing is that it's frustratingly slow. After you snap a picture, it takes about 5-7 seconds to load and process it before you can take another one. Also, I hate it because it's bulky. It's so heavy and wide in width, I feel so ashamed with it when I see my friends pull out their sleek, shiny new Sony cameras. Only good thing is that it has lots of settings (11!!!) while some cameras have a meager three functions(camera, record, p ...

    I would never say that this was a great digital camera, but it was good until the system errors appeared. My Nikon Coolpix 775 was never dropped and never mistreated.

    My Nikon Coolpix 775 digital camera was not mishandled, but when I went to use it recently, I now get the famous System Error.

    I love the features, and quality of the photos I got from my Nikon 775, but the other day without warning I got this "System Error", and the lens assembly froze open. I went online to see what info I could find, and realized that this is a very common problem. I strongly suggest that no one buy a used 775 online, because it appears to have a severely limited life span.

    Great quality photos in good light, or short range indoor photos with the flash. But, poorer quality photos when outside in lower light (even using the features to compensate for this). Most frustrating is the inability to take good sports photos because of the delay between button press and photo capture. Lots of good features. Easy to transfer to pc with a usb cable. Decent software bundle. First malfunction came after 3 years - The flash has stopped responding - No idea how to get it f ...

    While the SYSTEM ERRORs do pop up at the most inconvenient times, I've always managed to fix them without opening the camera - a paintbrush and a little patience; the cause either a microscopic grain or piece of dust in the shutter, or the lens barrel, or possibly (but not probably) inside - there's an optical sensor on the lens motor shaft (a little propellor) that tells the camera's smarts that the motor has stalled, and pulls the plug on all functions. HOWEVER, like all of these things if it ...

    Beware! I had owned my camera for just over a year when the zoom began to malfunction. It would not retract when switched off, then the camera would display "System Error". I managed to take a few photos before it refused to take any more - not good when you have no back up camera on holiday! I returned to Jessops feeling very annoyed. The warranty had expired but I did not expect a Nikon camera to be so unreliable. I was informed it would cost £124 to fix the camera - I complained. ...

    I have had my Nikon Coolpix 775 digital camera for 2 years. It has never let me down, locked up, or shown an error message. I use it in my work as an Accident Scene Investigator. 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 (I paid 386 GBP)

    Repair: a week ago, I dropped the Nikon Coolpix 775 digital camera from 4 feet on a semi-hard floor. Lens was jammed shut, and the display showed 'system error'. Opened the case [easy: 2 silver screws on LHS and RHS, 4 at bottom - note that 2 of the 3screws for the tripod are different- then the case pops open], remove the lens assembly [4 black screws] and notice that the plate at the base of the assembly had popped out of its 2 groves. The motor assembly can be disconnected and tested. Put the ...

    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 camera's worst point is incredibly frustrating: it is very slow. For example, it takes a good 5 or 6 seconds between switching it on, and actually being able to take a photo. The same problem occurs when the screen automatically shuts off to power save - it takes an age to power back up. The battery life ...

    The lens froze on my Nikon Coolpix 775. The infamous "SYSTEM ERROR" This is obviously a manufacturer defect. I'm sending the camera back to Nikon with low expectations. Hopefully logic prevails.

    I bought it in the USA 20 months ago and have taken over 5,000 pictures with. Invested in a 128Mb card though to keep resolution good for A4 prints. Generally happy with it but colours are not as good as other cameras and the lighting is terrible. My next buy will be a Canon for sure!

    Yip, guess what, I have had the infamous "SYSTEM ERROR" message and the lens is stuck shut. As this happend halfway though my summer vacation I am pretty upset. Although, my camera is about 18months old now so I guess I'm lucky it lasted that long by the sounds of things. Haven't yet had an estimate from Nikon for repair but I imagine it won't be worth it. I will not be buying a Nikon camera again.

    Had the infamous "SYSTEM ERROR" and lens wouldn't retract. Told by Nikon that it's a discontinued product (I am in Canada) and it don't carry parts for this model anymore. I took great care with the camera and think strongly it is manufacturing fault. I just felt I had throw away money into the sea! A good product if it works but a junk if it ever fails! So Beware.

    The Nikon Coolpix 775 is a nice camera for its price, I took about 3000 pictures with it, and I am still satisfied. It is small and quite robust for its plastic cover, although it fall out of my hands for a few times, it never failed its function. The pictures itsself are very sharp, but the color balance fails now and then, especially with flashless indoor shooting (you have to adjust it yourself). Therefore for the outdoor shooting it is perfect. The indoor movie is completely not possible, ...

    My Coolpix is 15 month old and still under warranty. But now I have continous system errors. The lens won's move any more. I send the camera to nikon. The said it is my fault because their were sand in the camera. They want 260 Euro for repair. At that price repair is waste of money ( a new model with equal quality is 290) I took good care of my camera. This is not the quality i expected of a Nikon Camera My NikonEM is 20 years old and still takes good picutres Beware of Nikon Digit ...

Excellent product much better than my mates Canon S20 3.3Megapixel.

    We've had a Nikon Coolpix 775 digital camera for nearly 8 months now and it's been really useful (we've almost taken 1000 shots!). We're generally happy with the camera, so while this review has bad points, read them in this context. Our main gripes with it are (a) the battery must be removed to recharge it; (b) while the camera has an onboard battery, that battery won't last during the charging cycle for the main battery - so we need to reset all the features each time we recharge. This only ...

    After 6 months my Nikon Coolpix 775 digital camera has the infamous 'system error.' It won't work and the lens is stuck in the out position. If they won't fix it then I should flush the $300 in the toilet.
