Samsung has announced a new 7.1-megapixel point-and-shoot camera. The L77 features an f/3.5-5.3, 38mm-266mm (35mm equivalent) 7x zoom lens and an ultracompact metal body that is less than an inch thick. Its 2.5-inch LCD has a high 230,000-pixel resolution.
The L77 offers 12 automatic shooting modes, spot and center-weighted metering, long exposures up to 15 seconds, and a top light-sensitivity setting of ISO 1600. It also provides a timelapse photography mode and autoexposure bracketing.
The camera's video features are notably strong. It records smooth VGA-resolution video in the efficient MPEG-4 format, with selectable sound recording. The optical zoom and digital image stabilization can be used during video capture, and recording can be paused and resumed within a continuous segment. The L77 also captures separate audio files and can attach voice memos to still shots.
The L77 will be available in April 2007 for a retail price of $399.99.
