Sony Cybershot DSC-M2 review at imaging resource

A review of the Sony Cybershot DSC-M2 digital camera has been published at imaging resource.
The Sony Cyper-Shot DSC-M2 is a hybrid digital video-camera. It features 5.1 megapixel resolution, a 3 times optical zoom and is capable of recording MPEG4 movies at 640×480 with up to 30 frames per second.
Here is part of the review verdict:
“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 better than average. The interface has been improved from the original DSC-M1, but still has quirks that could be ironed out. The interface is simply too complicated. […]
[…] While the M2 was sometimes a bit of a mixed bag (with occasionally inconsistent white balance and exposure metering), it generally offered photos that consumers will likely find appealing. […] Movies were better than average for a still camera, thanks both to the MPEG4 compression. […]
At the end of the day, while the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2 does a lot to emphasise how to integrate (and really take advantage of) video in a still camera, its flaws, particularly in its zoom control and general overcomplexity, make me stop short of strongly recommending it.”
