Reviews of the Samsung L77

CNET Review
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.
Manufacturer: Samsung
Part number: CJ095201S
