He says: The T77 follows the compact digital camera form factor, but sports style and good looks. There’s almost no plastic on the device’s body and the whole case is made of brushed aluminum. This provides durability, style and a quality feel to whoever is using it. As the camera isn’t any larger than the palm of your hand, its style is also complemented by amazing portability. It’s even small enough to fit into some of the smallest ladies purses I’ve ever seen.

I also like the sliding shutter which also ensures lens protection.

She says: At less than 5/8 of an inch, with 3-inch, 16x9 touch panel LCD screen, the DSC-T77 camera from Sony is one of the thinnest models available on the market at the moment. Nobody can deny that the slim form factor is one of the main points of attraction this camera has to offer. To that you can add the stylish design, the elegantly rounded, somewhat sober, but still playful lines and its magnificent features, of course. Moreover, it is available in multiple color versions, so that everybody finds the one that suits them best.

He says: With a generous 10.1 Mpixel resolution, the device surely passes the HD test and provides for some scary competition in the slim size line. By integrating a 4X optical zoom together with the optical image stabilization system, the company provides users with the utmost ease for high quality picture capturing.

She says: The device features updated intelligent scene recognition technology, Smile Shutter and face detection technologies with child and adult priority, as well as high sensitivity shooting (up to ISO 3200), eleven scene modes, and in-camera image management. Also, it sports updated intelligent scene recognition technology that can now select up to eight different scene modes, including macro, portrait and landscape modes.

This technology also includes a new anti-blink function in portrait mode that will virtually make closed-eyed photos an “old school” memory.

He says: As the T77 is one of Sony’s top of the line slim devices, it’s sure to pack some expensive features. I especially like the 3.0-inch touch sensible screen. I was always satisfied with my 2-inch screen camera, so the 50% increase really impressed me. The entire back of the camera is filled by the touch screen. Practically, there are no buttons installed, except for the power on and shutter buttons.

The device is also compatible with PhotoTV HD, which is meant to improve picture display on supporting Bravia HDTVs. I really hate when companies advertise technologies that only work with their products, so I’m not really impressed.

She says: Besides all that has been already mentioned, the DSC-T77 features improved Smile Shutter technology, easily accessible as a “smiley face” icon, a permanent fixture on the camera’s LCD screen in record mode, and can be toggled off and on at the touch of a finger. And during smile capture, auto focus and zoom functions are available, as well as the ability to take a limitless number of shots.

He says: Other things to admire about the camera are all the automatic adjustments it carries out in order to grant users a simple point and shoot experience. Every setting is calculated to provide the best picture quality for different scenes like rain, snow, dark, sunny or fast motion situations. This really provides for quite an user-friendly experience since most of us don’t really have extensive photography skills. Sony kind of tried to over do it here. I mean features like “not taking the picture until there’s a smile” somewhat useless.

She says: With such a camera, even the most unexperienced photographer could come up with works of art, thanks to the thorough menu of the DSC-T77, which can practically be considered a perfect noob's guide explaining the art of photography. The very few buttons and the camera's touch screen make it all even easier. As long as you know how to read, you'll have no problems using the DSC-T77 like a true professional.

He says: Well although I respect Sony for their innovative designs and quality products, I'm not that much of a fan of their high price politics. The T77 averages at $300, which is in my opinion a bit steep. It complements the camera’s good looks and elegant build, but this doesn’t justify overpricing a device with not that many interesting/unique features.

She says: If you have the curiosity to compare prices a little bit, you'll notice that the DSC-77, even if it has quite a soaring price tag for such a device, is also cheaper than other similar devices, with more or less the same functions and features. So, what will it be? To buy or not to buy?

He says: I don’t know about coolness when it comes to this kind of device. I don’t think it was meant to be cool in the general sense. Elegant is more appropriate in my opinion. I think cool is meant for teenagers with phone cameras when it comes to photos. Bottom line, I like the T77 and I’d recommended it to anyone who is in need for an easy to use and portable camera.

She says: Judging by its features, the DSC-T77 is a very cool camera for a regular person, I mean, for someone who's not a professional photographer. And if you also consider its design and incredibly thin form factor, what's to think about? The DSC-T77 is clearly a camera that you'd like to own and pride about.
