    CNET Review

    October 3, 2007

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

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

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