I've captured succesfuly using the Nikon Coolpix 880 (my old camera) and
with an Olympus C750UZ. I was also able to remotely change settings on
both cameras, but could never get the optical zoom to work with the 880.

Newer coolpix cameras are PTP. 

I don't know about the 775 - if it is PTP or sierra, or if gphoto2 capture
works with it. AFAIR it has a USB mass storage interface, you would have
to figure out how to change it to non-mass storage for capture to
function.
