Samsung L77

Samsung seems to be shifting its compact range from the conventional silver chassis to stylish black and blue models, and the 7MP L77 continues this trend

Samsung L77

The most significant feature of the L77 has to be the large 7x optical zoom cunningly concealed in the thin frame. It's a feature that more cameras are having and Samsung are one of the select few daring to be the Avante Garde.

Slim design; Large zoom; Easy to navigate

Portrait mode is exactly the same as Program mode

Samsung L77 Test Report

The Samsung L77 packs a 7X zoom lens into a compact body, but offers little else to distinguish it from other cameras.

Samsung L77 review

Usually, a big zoom means a big camera. It's only natural; the larger a lens, the larger the body you need in which to put the lens. That's why Samsung's L77 surprised us. This slim little camera sports a beefy 7x optical zoom that doesn't even pop out...

Slim and light; 7x optical zoom lens doesn't extend from the camera.

Sluggish performance; heavy fringing in pictures; no manual exposure controls.

Though it doesn't have manual exposure controls, the Samsung L77 puts some good shooting in a small package.

Samsung L77 Digital Camera - First Shots - The Imaging Resource!

The Samsung L77 has a seven megapixel CCD imager coupled to a powerful Samsung NV-branded 7x optical zoom lens offering a range from a rather tight 38mm wide angle to a useful 266mm telephoto. At wide angle the lens is about average at f/3.5, although...

The Samsung L77 also includes the company's face detection technology, coupled to both the autofocus and autoexposure systems to ensure that your subject's faces are correctly focused and exposed. The L77 can also capture 30 frames-per-second video...

7 megapixel, 7X optical zoom super thin camera

The Samsung L77 is a small form factor point and shoot digital camera that features a whopping 7X optical zoom lens that doesn't retract from the camera body. The camera is super thin, at about an inch thick and 3.5 inches long. Its size makes it ideal...

Samsung L77 Review

The 7.1 megapixel Samsung L77 is a sharp-looking, slim digital camera with a 7x optical zoom.

Very nice styling ; Comfortable to hold, for an ultra-compact camera ; 7x optical zoom ; Optical zoom is available during movie capture ; Quick performance

Average image quality ; Mediocre battery life ; Strange menu system (but you can get used to it)

While having a 7x optical zoom in such a slim and compact camera is definitely an awesome feature to have, the L77's image capturing capabilities are not good enough for me to recommend. Now, that's not to say that there isn't a buyer for this camera...
