Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T77 Comments

Hi,

I'm pretty interested in the T700, but will wait for a few more reviews as it yet to be released...are you planning to review that any time soon?

I'm not quite sure why Sony (amongst many others) seem to be continuing an ever-increasing trend towards "gimmicky" image manipulation and/or editing effects on these pocket jobs, rather than increasing technical efforts towards better control of "basic" image capturing faults... edge-softness; purple fringing; focus locking; file over-compression; limited dynamic range; barrel and pincushion distortion etc etc. If a camera such as the DSC-T77 were to be even more technically sophisticated - like its bigger siblings, then surely Sony's market sector would increase amongst the more advanced amateurs, rather than (seemingly) just catering to the pub snapshot buyers? Add £50 to its price, up its tech specs, knock off the silly gimmicks, and it'd sell like crazy I reckon. But who's gonna be the first manufacturer to take the risk?

I just love it.....and I assure you that you would fall in love with this tiny little Sony as soon as you touch and feel it for the very first time.
The first thing that i liked was its size, no one can beat the Sony T77. On top of that it has a 4x zoom that does not pop out. I was scared about the touch screen but just a few minutes with the camera and all my feares were proved wrong.
The other worry was how would it work at night. Well i just switched off all the lights of my living room dead in the night and took a few snaps. The very first result, and i could not stop smiling.
As far as the various settings are concerned, i would like to tell you that i am happy with the T77s auto settings. The camera is intelligent enough to let its happy owners enjoy the moment instead of wasting time in fiddling with diffrent settings for a great picture.
I bet my life on the T77 guys, just go and get it and fall in love.
PS When it comes to battery, i would like to tell that i always carry a stand by and recommend you the same.

Does this camera have any different settings like black and white.. ect?

I purchased the T77 today and am delighted. The camera in auto mode is a delight and does a great job. I am a complete amateur and confirmed non photographer, but this camera actually makes me want to get out there and start "shooting". I would highly recommenmd this great priced camera.

I have had the T77 for about three weeks now. All photos taken seemed of good quality until now. I have noticed white spots or circles in some of the photos taken indoors w/ the use of flash and appear randomly, and red eye seem to be a bit of a problem as well. Disappointing for a pricey gadget. I have had a sony cybershot before and never had problems like this.
