Oh Sony, when you aren’t acting like a blind, lumbering bastard of a company sometimes I almost want to give you a big bear hug. Like when you make something like this new Cybershot DSC-M1 – there’s no reason for it, you just decided to get funky, and let the engineers take a long, deep pull off the pipe before starting to design it. It’s not the specs that really get me, I guess – it’s just a 5.1-megapixel camera that scrounges parts from the DSC-T1 – it’s just all the weird features, like the four shutter buttons and dual-microphone stereo sound recording. And the new MPEG4 video implementation (although in truth, I really don’t care much about solid-state camcorders, at least not using expensive Memory Sticks).
LivingRoom has the press release and some pictures, while DCResource actually got to play around with one of the cameraphone-looking things and has lots of hands-on impressions and more pictures.
