QuickTake:

Pros: attractive, excellent video,very good photos,sony quality
Cons: can't use a tripod,quite slow lens

Product Rating: 3.7 star(s) Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2: <br>hybrid surprise

Comments:

Review Verdict: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2 is a jack of all trades and a master of some. Thanks to good image quality and a big, bright LCD that's usable in sunlight, this is a surprisingly good 5-megapixel snapshooter -- assuming you're willing to pay a premium for a ca

Comments:
The Cyber-shot M2 will appeal to snapshooters who record more videos and only require basic still image shooting functions.

Jack of all trades and master of none - that'll be the Sony DSC-M2.

Review Verdict: For half the price you can get a camera that takes pictures and shoots video just as well, but is far easier to handle. The M2 may look cool and funky, and there's no denying that it can take good pictures, but its shockingly poor handling, badly designed

Product Rating: 3 star(s) Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2

Comments:
This is a bold design from Sony. Digital compact cameras normally shoot video as a bonus feature, and no one really expects the quality of the footage to look or sound that good. But Sony is essentially saying that this hybrid camera...

Review Verdict: All in, it's not a bad stills camera, but the hybrid design doesn't live up to its promise

Review Verdict: The Sony Cyber-shot M2 is a bit of an enigma. It's capable of producing high-quality 5-megapixel stills, but its indoor results are limited by its underpowered flash. Although billed as a hybrid still/movie camera, Sony failed to endow the M2 with high-qu

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2

Comments:
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2 is about as unique a digital camera as could be imagined. It packs a 3x zoom lens and high-resolution five megapixel sensor into a reasonably compact body, and offers generally good image quality as well as movies that are much

Review Verdict: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2 looks quite similar to the previous DSC-M1 model on which it is based (and nothing like most of its other Cyber-Shot predecessors), with an unusual and honestly rather unusual body that will definitely attract attention wherever

QuickTake:

Pros: Extremely eye-catching body will certainly draw attention!Body shape (thanks to the swivelling LCD) is easy to grip and hold steadilyStereo microphone - a rarity among digital camerasControl layout is generally better than in the M1Redesigned camera dock
Cons: That eye-catching body isn't exactly conducive to catching a quick shot without grabbing your subject's attentionHinge mechanism might prove a weak spot if you drop the cameraIt is too easy to cover one half of the stereo microphone with your fingerNo opt

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2

Comments:
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2 ($500) is the latest "hybrid" digital camera from the Japanese electronics giant. The DSC-M1 is a more refined version of the DSC-M1 (introduced in 2004), which was an interesting but awkward mix of camera and camcorder. The new

Review Verdict: The usual caveats about proprietary batteries apply here. They're expensive ($50 a pop) and you can't use "regular batteries" to get you throw the day in an emergency. Unfortunately these batteries are standard features on ultra thin cameras like the M2.
