We've had the t77 for 3 months. Picture is horrible. Sent in for repairs per Sony, but I think the camera is junk. hoping for credit.

Well so far, I have had terrible luck recording indoors. I have seen test on youtube and elsewhere, that display otherwise though. Many of the other reviewers seem to be getting better image quality than me.

Sacha, its got a decent zoom for such a tiny camera, but at full zoom ranges the images can get grainy. However for medium zoom, regular and macro, the image quality is really great. I like it as a point and shoot.

I have the same blurry problem, I think that I got a faulty camera. About 1 in 4 pictures are usable, this camera was a waste of money. Mount Fuji! eat my shorts! My cannon elph sd200 which is 3 years older takes far superior pictures and is 3.2 Mega pixels. Causing me to learn, its not the megapixels that matter.

Hi, I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

I love this little camera! I'm still learning how to use it. I find that best picture quality is 5M Fine. Last night I took pictures at a party using the Best shot Party option and the pictures came out great. Play with the Best shot options then override them.

I have the Z28 and like most everything about it. My biggest complaint, and tell me if this is true of all cameras in this class, is when cropping photos. If i crop a photo to zoom it in a bit it always goes grainy. I didnt expect this from 12mp camera. Is the Megapixel rating really not a factor for smooth grain??

I actually returned the camera. My pictures were out of focus. I tried several settings and different lighting and it was inconsistent. I didn't have that problem with the other point and shoots I've owned. I only uploaded a photo to Facebook once and it wasn't difficult. You connect with wifi.

Jeff:Thanks for responding! I'm glad you like it so much. I think I'll give it a try. I did read a review that said that Fuji didn't think people buying a camera in this category wouldn't want HD video. I guess that makes sense, although it sure doesn't make any difference to me. Thanks again for a nice response.Steve

Ditto to J. Kim, photos always look good on the tiny (well compared with an LCD monitor of course) screen, you can at least ZOOM in on the photos to check out the noise factor, check it against what ISO the shot was taken in. Under the law of physics, there is really no way a 1/1.7" sensor can produce images that are on par or better than an APS-C sensor. Although they may look close. Thanks Grandpa Bill, for your comment. With that said, I almost laughed out loud when someone told me he could take a picture from the 8-megapixel iPhone just as good as a DSLR ! !!! LOL! I am still laughing ! ; ) Ditto to J.

I have the same problem and mine miss focuses too. I have contacted Nikon, but I'm still waiting for a reply. I'm curious if this lens is a waste of money? Did you guys ever find out what was wrong?

quality reminds one of 320 x 240 .. not a clean 720 by any means. Comparable blur on lettering gives it away as below par of a 720p normal cam. Mine had poorly aligned lens to the hole in pen. That could be part of the problem. Quality control is nil on this and a thousand like it and my complaint got no reply. The ills of mass prod. imported gadgets I guess. Crapped out other spy devices too at &gt;100 bucks. All said, the quality for the price is not bad. It just wont excite ya.

I have this kind of issue, but with my SX130 in macro mode. At first I thought it was the lighting, but I took an identical picture, identical position, settings, etc. with my Elph 300 HS, and no such problem. The 300 has actually been fantastic for me, images are much sharper and colors more vivid than the 130 even though I set them to identical settings. Thinking of trading the 130 in for either the Elph 500 or the SX230 - I want a P&S (want something more portable than my DSLR) with shutter and aperture controls with same (or better) image quality as the Elph 300 (and less than $300). Now just have to test both of them out first.

I am not obsessed with megapixel counts in cameras. I stopped printing sometime ago. My pictures go online or facebook. So I have to give up on the wish for a megazoom in a small package since I won't compromise picture quality for the zoom. I ruled out the S95 because of the zoom range. Now I have to reconsider. Other than the zoom, it still has most of the attributes I am looking for in a small package.Thank you so much for your research on sensor size and lens. This explains what I noticed for some years. My old trusty takes nicer pictures than many people's newer cameras. I am not obsessed with megapixel counts in cameras. I stopped printing sometime ago. My pictures go online or facebook.

I just received my D800 a couple weeks ago. Almost all my images are out of focus, even with simple portraits. I haven't contacted Nikon yet because I'm attempting to return the camera.

I had one and I can say the picture quality is terrible. Every pic I took for 2 years was blurry and grey. I bought it brand new and regretted it. I replaced it with a Panasonic Lumix which is fantastic.

Hi I would not waste my time &gt;&gt;&gt; I have tried sending in letters with my D300 and lens . All they did was replace parts in lens and sent a real nice letter saying they could not recreate the issue , Thank you for being a Nikon user. Now my D300 is back with nikon for a focus screen replacement as it has scratches on it . Not on the pictures , you can only see it in the view finder drives me nuts. I believe that they are not going to do anything untill they find a fix, If they admit that there is an issue sales would fall badly. All i know is that the users that have the DBS are not bragging about how good of a camera it is. I would not touch a D300 now if they payed me .
