Samsung L77 is a compact digicam that includes a 7-megapixel imager, 7x internal optical zoom lens, High ISO capabilities (up to 1600), VGA movie mode, 2.5-inch LCD, etc. It is fully automatic and ideal for beginners or for anyone who doesn’t want to get confused or go into complicated controls of menu options. You can use Auto, EPS, or one of 11 pre- programmed scene modes. Samsung’s L77 design is good, attractive, easy to use, slim and nice. Samsung L77 is less than an inch thick and weighs just 5.5 ounces with battery and SD card making it one of Samsung’s lightest, most compact digital cameras. It uses a conventional joypad and buttons to navigate its simple functions. What is really astonishing is its zoom .The Samsung L77’s 38 to 266mm-equivalent lens stands out as its biggest feature but does not distort the camera’s look. Its lens stays completely inside the camera at all times. Due to this internal mechanism, the camera remains slim, even when zooming all the way in. The zoom also works when recording 30 fps VGA video with the camera’s movie mode. The L77 uses Samsung’s Electronic Picture Stabilization to measure camera shake and adjust the image in-camera. After 1.9 seconds from power-on to capturing its first shot, the L77 takes a slow 2.4 seconds between each additional shot, with the flash turned off increasing to 3.1 seconds with the onboard flash turned on. Its shutter lagged barely half-second with a high-contrast target, and 1.6 seconds with a low-contrast target. Burst mode shot four 7-megapixel stills in 3.2 seconds for a rate of 1.3 fps. Shots taken at both the wide-angle and telephoto ends of the lens remain clear, sharp and accurate. If you are looking for a simple and pocket-friendly camera then Samsung L77 is just for you.

    The Samsung L77 works well for me. While the pushbutton controls are quirky, a little practice and I've become pretty good at operating this camera. I very much like the 7X optical telephoto lens because that allows me to carry only one camera, and in my shirt pocket! I also very much like that this camera does all that inside and nothing sticks out when turned on, or when adjusting the telephoto lens. The quality is high. The metal case is durable. The rechargable... Read more
