Perfect for the amateur.
( - 3/29/05)I sold my Sony CD500 to buy this camera. I never used the SLR features, and I wanted something that took better movies. The M1 is small enough to fit in my purse--about the size of a deck of cards. The movie/photo buttons make it tons easier to quickly switch between stills and movies--no more jog dials to mess with. The rotating screen is excellent, and helps when you are trying to hold up your camera to take high pictures over a crowd, or to take pictures low to the ground. The lens is inset and a little bit hard to clean, but not a big deal. The software isn't perfect... but what software is? Its best feature is the ability to plug your camera into the cradle, and BAM--the pictures are on your computer, and even deleted off your camera if you want. I have a 512MB card, and have yet to fill up the whole thing in one day--and I tape and take shots of lots of soccer games. Well worth the price for the amateur who wants something easy to work with.
