Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T77 review

The 640x480-pixel resolution video captured by the T77 is better than most video we see from ultra-compact cameras. You also get full use of the optical zoom and, since it's internal, you don't hear it moving in and out while recording movies.

Conclusion
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T77 is a very good ultra-compact camera. But, while we like Sony's touchscreen interface, it's definitely not for everyone, and could easily prove tedious and frustrating for some users.
