Sony DSC-M1
( - 3/2/05)I have owned my DSC-M1 for 3 months and tried most functions. Photo quality is good I find movie quality good for a camera if left in automatic mode and footage is taken in daylight. This camera for some reason takes under exposed movie footage indoors when lighting level is lower. If one of the manual modes is selected to improve movie exposure the footage is very jerky when panning across the scenery it's OK if the camera is kept in one position and not panned. Whilst Pro duo memory sticks are more pricey for some reason, must be the Sony name, you can get them cheaper on EBay. I bought a second battery + charger for £22.00 which wasn't bad. The movie exposure and jerkiness issue bugs me especially from a company like Sony but all in all this is an excellent camera, you will get used to the weird shape and slotting it into the charging cradle. Make sure you use the wrist strap as the shape of the camera can lead to fumbles and you may drop the camera.
