The Sony DSC-M2 Digital Camera
Wednesday, October 5th, 2005
This latest offering from Sony is a 5.1 megapixel digital camera. It carries a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom. The lens is a 35mm equivalent range of 38-114mm with a maximum aperture of f/3.5 at its widest down to f/4.4 at telephoto range.
The M2 is capable of shooting up 50 minutes of video in MPEG-4 format with 640 x 480 resolution at 30 frames per second. Sound is captured via built-in steroe microphones. Full resolution stills and videos are stored on the Memory Stick PRO DUO.
The M2 also comes with a built-in 57MB of memory to store VGA versions of still captures. This allows storage of up to 1,100 photos. With the M2’s Pocket Album feature, you literally have a huge photo album with you anywhere you go. These photos can be shown off in the 2.5″ Hybrid LCD screen.
Once the maximum limit of storage is reached, the oldest photo will make way for newer ones. You can protect photos from deletion so that you always have your favourite photos on hand.
There is also a 6MB memory dedicated for music. You can upload your favourite music that will play with the Slide Show feature included with the M2.
A choice of several slide show transitions is available one of which is a nifty 5 second video capture mode that captures 5 second clips along with normal still images.
And it looks really cool… I gotta have one!
