The Sony Cybershot DSC-T77 just might be the perfect St. Patrick’s day camera. It is available in a variety of colors (including green, of course) and packs 10.1 megapixels into a camera roughly the same size as a tin of Altoids. Sony even offers customized engraving making it finally possible to have your green camera with the words “Luck of the Irish” engraved right on the front.

Value:

The T77 features a neat slide down panel which reveals the lens and flash. Flip the camera over to see the generously sized 3 inch touch screen LCD screen. This makes it easy to compose and review pictures at your St. Patty’s Day parties even if your vision is slightly impaired for some reason. Other nice features include: 4X optical zoom, face detection, and smile shutter.

Cultural Appeal:

If a green Sony Cybershot DSC-T77 isn’t loud enough, Sony offers optional engraving, letting owners show off their Irish Pride beyond simple colors and shamrock embellishments.

Party Potential:

The Sony Cybershot DSC-T77 isn’t only good for capturing the best St. Patrick’s Day moments, but is equally suited for capturing birthdays, weddings, and any other event you may find yourself at. In fact, the camera is so slim that it is easy to pack it virtually anywhere. The T77 will also capture DVD resolution video at 30 frames per second making this the perfect camera for just about anything you can throw at it.

Summary:

From the darkest Irish pub to Grandma O’Connell’s 90th birthday celebration, the Sony Cybershot DSC-T77 is ready to capture the perfect shot. While perfectly capable of capturing St. Patrick’s Day in all of its glory, the Sony Cybershot DSC-T77 is equally-suited for every other day of the year.
