Review:
Very slim and great looking camera. It comes in red, silver and blue. I got myself the silver one so it matches all my outfits
Too bad it didn't come with a carrying bag.
On top there are six buttons. The "data" button to go to your saved documents (yes, you can save documents like Word or Excel documents. But don't be too happy. The documents are converted to jpeg once you transfer them to the camera, so you'll only be able to view the documents not change). The "disp" or "display" button to change what kind of information is shown on the screen. The "Play" button to view the pictures you've made. The "Rec" or "Recording" button to take photo's or make movies. The "On/Off" button. And the "Press-here-to-make-picture-please" button.
On the back of the S770 there is a big ass widescreen display. On the right side of the display are the vertical zoom buttons, a menu control, a ring-style four-way jog button (for scrolling and moving through images, also used for manual focus) a central joy-stick for “okaying” options and a “BS” or Best Shot button. The latter accesses the 32 scene modes, offering everything from (a disappointing) 15cm close focus so called “Macro” mode, to text document capture, firework snapping, food and a scenery setting.
The camera comes with a neat cradle in which it sits to connect to PC and charge. Too bad you need the cradle to connect to a pc. You can't connect the camera to another pc to upload, unless you have the cradle or a memorycard reader. You can also use the cradle as a photo frame by starting a slideshow while the camera is in the cradle.
Image quality is great. If you set the ISO to 400 then you will see a little noise in the pictures. But like the photo n00b that I am, I have all settings on auto....
The movies also look good. But you can only make ten minute movies. After that it stops filming and you have to start a new movie.....
Positive:
- Slim
- Looks great
- Big ass screen
- Auto settings
- AV cable
Negative:
- No carrying bag
- Can't upload without cradle
- Ten minute limit on movies
