So-so [Posted on 2005-12-12]
First digital. Good pictures - when you have the time to wait for the camera to power up and don't mind a considerable shutter lag time - no real problem with the pictures, BUT the start up time and shutter lag time were/are incredibly frustrating. I went back to a film camera because of those two problems - when taking "grab shots" - and for the complete control I get with a 35mm SLR when taking "serious photography" shots. For a point and shoot, quick "grab the shot" camera it just doesn't get it. On it's behalf, it is one of the earlier point and shoot digitals. They have come a long way since this one. Get a newer model and some of the problems have been cured. After about a three year lay off (of digital cameras), I just got back into the digital point and shoot cameras with a Canon A620. It is far superior to the 775. This camera just can't keep up with the grandkids - or any other "quick shoot" situation. I still have the 775, and will use it occassionally - within its limitations (again, the pictures are OK - not pro quality, but OK), but there are better cameras out there.
Insert Title Here. Not bad. [Posted on 2005-12-18]
I've had this camera for a while now, and the picture quality is quite good. My main frustration is how incredibly long it takes to power-up, the major shutter lag, and also the fact that it takes a long time to preview through pictures because it blurs and then refocuses, and forget even trying to delete pictures on the camera .. takes FOREVER. I don't bother, I just delete them when I load it to my computer. On the plus side, I like the colors this camera renders in comparison with others out there.. I think it's a good camera if you're into taking just like.. artsy pictures of still objects, but not action ones since it is soo slow. and for people.. well people are impatient, and by the time you get the camera on.. it's like nobody wants to stay still for the picture anymore.
Not a bad camera, if you're willing to wait for it.

Cons: this camera is heavy and bulky. For the price, it is only around 2 mega pixels which isnt good. I had this camera for a while then the zoom wouldnt come all the way out and it says "system error" every time i turn it on so i cannot use it anymore.
Pros: the pictures turn out decent. It is a solid camera but do not drop it on the lens contraption because you will have the same problem of it not turning on and its garabe now.
a fix for system error [Posted on 2006-12-02]
I got the dread system error message - the lens would not fully retract, neither would it extend. After googling this problem I tried the multiple smacks to the back ( front, sides and ends), with and w/o the battery in, without success. Then I accidently pulled off the small front piece of plastic containing the shutter itself (while trying to aid the motor by physically pulling out the lens, and simultaneously dropped the camera on the kitchen floor from a height of, oh, three feet, and voila! a working camera. I have taken pictures with it since. Turned it on and off. Still working. Of course, it's only been an hour...
