Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M1

Comments:
This review has been completed using a production-level DSC-M1. All product shots and sample photos are from the production camera. Thank you for your patience, as this one took a while to finish.

Review Verdict: The DSC-M1 uses the tiny Memory Stick Duo card, which is another expensive and proprietary memory card format from Sony. Duo cards come in sizes as large as 1GB, and you'll find a 32MB one in the box. I highly recommend buying a larger one, with 256MB bei

Review Verdict: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M1 is a solid digital camera, with good capabilities and features that make shooting both stills and video enjoyable. But it has a few drawbacks, especially the proprietary MPEG 4 codec that doesn't come with Windows XP.

QuickTake:

Pros: Sleek, light and small. Unique, striking design; very good photo and video quality; special video presets, including two buffer modes.
Cons: Proprietary MPEG-4 videos require an MPEG 4 CODEC or Sony's software to view and convert. 3X optical zoom lens feels too short for video. Slow recycle time; too easy to cover the lens with a finger.

Sony has introduced another gorgeous camera to the market with more than a few tricks up its multi-industry-spanning and largely metaphorical sleeves. The DSC-M1 falls into the brand new Cyber-shot M category, with the M standing for movie. This new line

Review Verdict: While the Sony DSC-M1 may not take the best photos, the movie capabilities definitely make up for this fault.
