4.0 out of 5 stars Great slim take-anywhere point and shoot!, September 26, 2008

Got my Sony DSC-T77 here in asia where it's been out for a couple of weeks and would just like to give this little slim point and shoot a thumbs up!
I used to own the Sony DSC-T70 which was an OK camera in my opinion. As an upgrade, the T77 is really a much better camera.
Pros:
-Great image quality in good light. Compared to the T70, the T77 is produces better images in good light. The photos are pin sharp and more noticeable are fine details. When I take portraits with the T77, I now see pores and individual eyelashes!
-Slimmer and lighter than the T70, the T77 really is a pocketable camera that you'd want to take with you all the time. It's so unobtrusive I sometimes forget I have it with me!
-Dynamic Range Optimizer helps recover shadow details without losing highlights.
-A barrage of other features like smile shutter, face detection, anti-blink function, and image stabilization helps make taking pictures more fun.
Cons:
-I wished Sony had separate controls for saturation, sharpness, and contrast like all the Canons have. There are times I want to get more saturated colors. While it does have a vivid setting which boosts up the saturation, it also boosts up the contrast which results in harsh-looking photos (most of the time anyway).
-I think it's safe to say that this camera takes better picture in good light. The quality definitely goes down as the light levels go down. I think the problem with such a small sensor and lens is that in lower light levels, the camera compensates by choosing higher ISOs which results in more noise and more noise reduction which produces photos that are less sharp and less detailed.
All in all, I really like this camera, and at this small/slim size, I think this is as good as it gets. If you're looking for the smallest and slimmest camera that takes quality photos, then give the Sony DSC-T77 a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic camera. - Review from a non-professional., November 16, 2008

This review is from: Sony Cybershot DSC-T77 Full HD 1080i, 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Black) (Electronics)

This camera has been wonderful since I got it. It took me some real long hours researching the details before I found it here. Here is some of the data I found out so maybe it can help the shoppers that are unsure of its stats (I found these on the web):

Resolution: 10 Megapixel
Optical Zoom: 4x
Focal Length: 35mm-140mm
Lens Aperature: F3.5-F4.6
LCD size: 230,000
Onboard Memory: 15MB*
Movie resolution: 640x480 VGA
Battery life: about 225 shots (depends on flash and other uses)
Dimensions: 3.8" X 2.4" X 0.6"
Weight: 126 grams (4.44 oz)

* this will give you about 1 photo at max resolution (maybe 2). Buy a memory stick!

What you find in the box:
* Cyber-shot DSC-T77 camera
* NP-BD1 rechargeable lithium-ion battery
* Battery charger
* Station plate (for the optional camera dock)
* Paint pen
* Wrist strap
* USB + A/V cable
* CD-ROM featuring Cyber-shot software, Cyber-shot Handbook and Step-up Guide
* 55 page basic manual (printed) plus 171 page full manual (on CD-ROM)

Now for the review: Realize that this has a very small lens physically. The amount of light that can come into that lens when shooting is a good deal less than a 35mm DSLR camera. That being said there are those that argue that this is not a "true" 10 megapixel camera. All I can say is that the photos are excellent. You may have to use the flash a bit more than with a standard 35mm camera due to the smaller lens size.

The uploading is very easy. Its a Sony so the included software is very well made. Easy to use and intuitive.

All in all a very nice pocket camera to take everywhere with you on your vacations.

Thank you for reading my review.

Still new but have used quite a bit. It's a great camera -- does everything I need and more. Photo quality excellent and the camera is intelligent enough to keep me from screwing up the drill. Well worth the price.
