This is a deceptive camera. At first glance it looks like any other point-and-shoot zoom compact, but that simple appearance disguises
what is actually a surprisingly high-spec device. It has a strong all-metal body with a good ergonomic design, an 8-megapixel CCD, a decently fast f2.8 – f/4.4 Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 5x zoom lens with a focal length equivalent to 37 – 185mm, a high resolution 2.5in LCD monitor and a full range of manual exposure controls. In fact if you look around there isn’t another camera on the market that can match it. The closest equivalent is probably the Canon PowerShot A630, but that is made of plastic and only has a 4x zoom lens. It also costs around £170, while the C875 is widely available for under £125.
Despite this bargain price, very few corners seem to have been cut in the C875’s design. Build quality is of a very high standard, and the camera feels strong and solid. It’s quite a large camera by compact standards, measuring 90.5 × 63 × 36.6mm, and weighing around 225g including two AA batteries it feels quite heavy as well. This bulk, and the handgrip sculpted into the front panel makes it a very comfortable camera to hold, and the position of the controls on the rear panel leaves plenty of room for your thumb.
