 Sony M2 at Steves Digicams : Our good friends at Steves Digicams have published their review of the Sony Cybershot DSC M2 digital camera. Featuring 5.1 Megapixel resolution, a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens and Sony's Real Imaging Processor Sony's MPEG MOVIE 4TV movie function captures full-screen, high-quality video. At 640x480 resolution and 30 frames per second, the resulting clips are ideal for viewing on television. The model's sensor has been optimized with a high refresh rate, doubling the horizontal resolution, the Sony Cybershot M2 offers outstanding image capture in either mode. Additionally, the camera offers stereo audio recording to capture the experience of being there with surprising fidelity for such a compact device.

 Sony Cybershot M2 - Camera operation
According to Steve Digicams: "When closed, The M2's body looks more like a cell phone than a camera; flip out and rotate the LCD and some (including security guards at sporting events and concerts) will mistake the M2 for a video camera. While the body design is unusual, I found it comfortable to use. Most of its controls fell within easy reach of my right thumb, enabling single-handed operation. I also enjoyed using the Shuttle dial to scroll through images in review mode."
Sony M2 digital camera - Steves Digicams review conclusion
Steve continues: "I was pleased with the image quality of the M2's 5M Fine mode. Outdoor images were well-exposed and sharp with true to life colors. Our indoor shots were also sharp well-exposed, although the M2's limited (8 feet) flash range restricts subjects to small rooms and portraits of very small groups. Image quality was good at low sensitivity settings, with an almost undetectable amount of noise in shadow areas at ISO 64. Shadow noise grows to a detectable amount at ISO 100, and at ISO 200 it becomes detectable in highlight areas. ISO 400 produces noticeable noise throughout the image along with some loss of detail, although the images are usable." You want to learn more about the Sony Cyber-shot digital camera?
