Sony Cybershot DSC-T77 Full HD 1080i, 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization
I have had this sony camera for a year now and I was very dissapointed witht the quality. Picture mostly have an orange glow. Forget about the steady shot it sucks. If you are shaking one bit the picture is not clear. That also goes for the person in the shot if it is moving than you can forget it. If you want my advice buy a cannon. They have better reputation and quality.

One month ago I bought Sony T77 from Amazon, it is a good product. When I ordered this camera from Amazon, I intended to pay US$100 by my gift card and US$112.94 by my credit card, but Amazon charged my credit card US$212.94 and also redeemed my gift card of US$100, so it means they total charge me US$312.94. I contacted their customer service many times, originally they said the mistake was created by their technical issue and they will refund US$100 to my credit card account, but one month passed and they still have not returned my US$100 to me. I sent several mails to their customer service department, and now they wanted me to contact my bank and ask my bank to contact them. I am a foreigner (Taiwan) and my bank is not in the states, how I can force my bank to make an international call to Amazon, and my bank also has language problem to communicate with Amazon. I really hate the way Amazon did and I won’t consider to buy any products from Amazon again. I will also tell all my friends about what experience I met from Amazon, I want my US$100 back. Poor service company. I may need to lawyer for help to handle my issue.

My camera takes great shots; and it is a lot fun to operate with the onscreen controls. The price was great too!

I previously had a Canon PowerShot (SD450), and I thought it was time to upgrade. However, I returned it after playing around with it and having no tolerance for the touchscreen interface.
Cons:
– Touchscreen was difficult to use and annoying. It would not always register when I tried selecting something, so I would often have to touch the screen more than once. It requires going through so many clicks and menus to do simple tasks, which made my older Canon camera with normal buttons seem much faster in comparison. I also did not want to carry around the pen for the touchscreen, and using my fingers would leave fingerprints and be even less effective.
– The lens does not seem properly protected from my fingers when holding the camera so that it is easy to put fingerprints on the lens, which I would assume could decrease the quality of photos.
– The 3 inch LCD screen includes wasted space since it is widescreen and it doesn’t make sense for everyone to shoot in widescreen. Therefore, the point of the touchscreen to free up more space for the LCD display is meaningless for most, as there are black bars on each side of the photo.
– Need to purchase separate cable to view HD quality photos on tv.
– Tiny zoom lever.
Pros:
– Easy to understand manual
– Small and thin. A true ultracompact.
– Auto scene selection mode seems like a useful feature.
The cons listed above, combined with further research I found giving other compact cameras better marks, made me return this. I just bought a Panasonic FX150 after a lot of research, and I hope this one is better!

I purchased this camera a few weeks ago and have only used it on one occasion. The initial results were disappointing considering the price point for this camera.
Pros:
- The T77 is very stylish and compact.
- It is definitely an attention getter.
- The touch screen seems to work well.
- The camera seems to be well made.
- It has a 4x zoom as opposed to 3x on most other point & shoot cameras.
Cons:
- I have only taken 13 photos, inside and not under the best lighting conditions. Every person in all the photos had red-eye which I was able to remove using my photo editingmanagement software.
- The pictures did not look natural. My guess is the T77 needs good light. I have a Kodak 5.1 mp camera and the photos are much more natural looking under varying light conditions.
- The battery life is not all that great. The manual says to turn off the camera frequently as opposed to leaving it on. This is good advice. It definitely helps prolong the otherwise somewhat short battery life. I would definitely recommend getting a second battery.
Conclusion:
Please note that I have used the camera on one occassion. I am still learning to use the camera. Perhaps if I had more experience with the camera I can get better results. Overall my initial assessment is that this is probably not the best value for the money, but it certainly is okay.
