General Comments
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, as the it needs much light to operate. Next to that is the lack of sound, which makes the movies a little useless.



Handling the camera is very easy and is accepted in every operating system featuring USB. Comparing it with other Nikon digital cameras, it has the same features for a small price. Big disadvantage is its speed: it takes up to 1 second before reacting on your fingers command. So no sporty pictures.



After a year I'm happy with the camera, but desire a little less reaction time and a better movie. For people using it as a replacement of their normal camera, i.e. making pictures in daylight and with flashlight at night, this is the camera you need.
