DCResource takes on the Sony Cyber-shot M-1
We're not quite sold on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M1. While we like the camera's swiveling 2.5-inch LCD and its MPEG-4 support, it's a little awkward-looking, and $600 seems a bit steep for a 5 megapixel camera, even if it does take decent videos (especially since Sony already has other cameras with many of the same features, like the DSC-W1, for half the price). DCResource got their hands on one and gave it their full treatment, and found it intriguing but not quite appealing. Our gut on this one is that Sony's prepared for that kind of response and that they're testing the waters to see how much of a market there really is for this kind of full-on hybrid — and that the next rev of this design will rock (either that or they'll decide there isn't enough of a market and there won't be a next rev).
