Touchscreen A Pain 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 4 people found this review helpful.
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!
Editorial Review:
Preserve the moment in style with the ultra-slim and colorful DSC-T77 Cyber-shot digital camera. You can also compose and review shots, navigate menus and optimize focus using the touch screen display. Equipped with Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, the T77 automatically compensates for camera shake without sacrificing image quality. You'll also enjoy other photo-enhancing features such as Face Detection and Smile Shutter technologies and anti-blink function.
