I have a sony F828 which is a great camera, but for your every day fun pictures, or candid shots... from Cnet.com Pros: attractive, excellent video,very good photos,sony quality Cons: can't use a tripod,quite slow lens from Shopzilla.com Pros: attractive, excellent video,very good photos,sony quality Cons: can't use a tripod,quite slow lens from Shopzilla.com

Pros: The good: Still/movie double threat; 2.5-inch LCD with excellent visibility in daylight; versatile slide-show/album mode; speedy burst mode.

Cons: The bad: Awkward to use; few manual controls; weak flash with poor red-eye mode; no in-camera movie editing.

The bottom line: The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-M2 takes quality stills and videos, if you can get past its awkward design.

from Yahoo.com Not a Professional camera (if that's what you're looking for), only 5mp 3x zoom. Zooming should be associated with the jog control during camera mode. I wish Sony make new improved models of hybrid cameras. Meanwhile I'm really happy with my DSC-M2. from Amazon.com THE SLIDE CLICK WHEEL(fwd button) TO CHANGE PICS AND VIDEOS WHEN IN VIEWING THEM SNAPPED OFF AN BROKE ON ME. THE CAMERA BEEN ACTING FUNNY ON ME LIKE LOCKING UP ON ME AND WONT CHANGE MODES, IT WONT STOP RECORDING VIDEO AFTER I PRESS THE VIDEO BUTTON AGAIN, AND WHEN IM VIEWING PHOTOS AND VIDEOS THE CAMERA SOMETIMES STARTS SWITCHING AUTOMATICALLY FROM PHOTO TO PHOTO OR VIDEO FROM VIDEO WHEN IN VIEWING MODE. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE CAMERA WHEN ACTING LIKE THIS IS TURNING IT OFF AND ON AGAIN BUT SOMETIMES I STARTS TO ACT THE SAME WAY SHORTLY AFTER, THIS IS STARTING TO GET FRUSTRATING SO I WAS WONDERING IF SONY SELLS ADDITIONAL PARTS LIKE THIS OR DO I NEED NEED TO REPLACE THE CAMERA. from Amazon.com * If you carry it in your pocket without a carrying case, it will flip and turn on by itself and the battery will be discharged. I thought buyers should know this. These minor annoyances make me sometimes choose to take my old, clunky 1.2MP sony to trips instead of this one just because it is so much more straightforward. Anyway, it is a good camera. from Amazon.com * If you carry it in your pocket without a carrying case, it will flip and turn on by itself and the battery will be discharged.
