 Loving my DSC-M2Apr 26, 2006
By C. Watson
"Capitalista"
When I sought to purchase a digital camera, I was intrigued by the idea of a hybrid camera/camcorder. Reading what was written about limitations of these hybrids really dampened my enthusiasm. But I decided to take the leap with the SONY Cybershot DSC-M2 and couldn't be happier. It takes crisp, gorgeous shots in automatic mode, and although it doesn't have many manual controls, it has enough to keep the average snapshooter happy. The movie mode surpassed my expectations. My little home films look like the ones my dad made with his expensive camcorder. It has a big, beautiful LCD screen which makes others envious. People have complained that the design is awkward, and I have joint problems, but handling it has been a snap for me.
My only complaint is that I wish the zoom function was better...otherwise, this is an excellent purchase.

sony cybershot dsc-m2 it's a great cameraFeb 21, 2006
I bought my sony dscm-m2 from wolfs camera.Iwanted something small that could take really good pics with the ability to record video.did not want mini cassete.want one memory card.this thing is great.take really good pics and video.you can transfer the video from the m2 base station to a vcr and record it even on to a dvd recorder.I wish it had a little more zoom.and have a inferred mode.just like the sony night shot or super nightshot!!!!hopefully sony will make a dsc-m3.and add it to that camera.other wise this camera rocks!!!!!!!easy flip up lcd.wish it was touchscreen.sony you made a really great camera for some one who wants small pocket size camera.my wife loves this camera.you can switch from photo to video so easy.with a touch of a button.

Used replacement for earlier M-1 modelMar 07, 2010
By Steve K.
"Himm2"
I used Sony's M-1 camera for many years until it suddenly died with no obvious means of fixing. But I liked it so much that I upgraded to the second generation M-2 model buying it used since it's no longer manufactured. I love that it fits easily in my pocket as that was always the reason I didn't take more videos if it was more awkward to haul around something larger. I'm pleased with the modest improvements and since I've mastered the settings that are needed to get optimum results it functions very well for the simple purposes I have for it. It used the same battery I had for the M-1 (so now I have 3 batteries) and the same memory stick pro card (so now I have (2) 4GB cards & (1) 576MB card). The CDROM software wasn't included from the seller but it wasn't necessary. Uploading to YouTube and sharing through other means is a snap as the MP4 format is more widely accepted these days. If you can find this camera used for under $200 is will still be worth it for a few more years of technology advancements.

Let's focus on the negative pointsSep 09, 2006
By Mauricio Bussab
I love this camera, I love the quality of the still and video. Great purchase. Everything everybody wrote here is true. HOWEVER:
* It requires a proprietary USB cradle to download pictures to a computer. It doesn't have a standard USB jack. So get ready to pack the cradle whenever you are going to travel.
* It uses its own proprietary battery that gets charged when the camera is in the cradle. If you run out of power while outside, you can't just buy a couple of AAs and use them until you get back home.
* 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.

Come on Sony! Give us more photo/video cameras!Mar 13, 2007
By J. Torres
I can't believe they haven't made more and these are so hard to find now! I've had mine for a year now and it is awesome. Finally a handy marriage between a still camera and a video camera. Parents and grandparents everywhere I go wish they had one to catch EVERY fun moment with the kids. My only complaint is the low-light capabilities. Pictures just won't turn out and movies are terrible unless you're outside or inside with bright lights.
