I owned this little camera 10 years ago. It was an early digital product with limited Pixels, compared to today's fancy camers. But it worked fine. However, its electronics were ruined by the humidity of the Greek island I lived on for 5 years. Discovering that I could buy a replacement on Ebay for as little as £10, I bid and won another. I have all the necessary accessories for the camera.....so the kit is complete. I use it as a handy mini camera to take snaps when I am on a trip. Its quality is qute good anough for keeping simple records, altho it is obviously not as versatile as newer cameras. In its day, it cost £200. To but it again for £10 is no bad thing!
Excellent value easy to use very pleased

We bought the Nikon Coolpix 775 when it was current in the shops - paid about £300, must be 9 or 10 years ago. The sole purpose was to do close up shots for items (old books) to sell on eBay. It is excellent for this - easy to use, and quick we can get 80 books photographed in well under an hour. We have tried virtually every size of card, and find it is best with a 32 MB card. Without changing the settings/size, it takes about 80 photos of a good quality and is still pretty quick (a higher memory card slows it down slightly, speed is important for us). One day the camera got soaked and died (we had got over 20,000 photos out of it and it was otherwise still going strong!) We bought a later lighter more up-to-date model, and after using for some time, it was nowhere near as good. We bought a second hand Nikon Coolpix 775 on eBay for about £10! Fantastic! As good as our old £300 original. We have since bought about six more as back ups, at about £5 to £15 each + P&P, and found 32 MB cards at about £5 to £6. All these cameras operate on the original software, so we don't have to clutter the computers up, and operation is seamless if we need to use a back up. A highly recommended fast and robust little camera certainly for any eBay bookseller (and am sure for many others).Read full review
I was looking for a basic camera to take pics of stuff to sell on ebay. I know this camera is very old in technology terms and i was not expecting anything special, just a few grainy snaps would suit me fine. I took a few snaps to test. I was amazed at the quality and size of the photos as it filled my screen with a v good quality picture. I terms of M/pixels its now considered rubbish but i cant tell the difference. It has a decent zoom and to many function for me to work out. It is a chunky size and not the fastest thing but i paid £8 iand i think i got a bargain. If you want a cheap basic digi camera second hand you wont go far wrong getting one of these.
It is a top compact digital. The real view finder is a real boon for 'real photographers'. I have had one for years but it fell over with a 'SYSTEM ERROR' so buying this one means I have a spare battery and stuff. Sometimes the definition shames my Canon 30D. Get one while stocks last!
