Sony DCM-M1 Discam

Author's Rating: Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: Still frame capture from any video! Up to 4500 stills and 260 minutes of audio!

Cons: Video and stills are restricted to a 640X480 resolution.

Bottom Line:
This camera is not for everyone but short clips it's great, in camera editing is king and stills are fun. I paid $500 US on ebay and it's worth it. Read More

Sony DCM-M1

Author's Rating: Rating: 3/5 stars

Pros: It looks cool. 4500 still photos per disk is very sweet.

Cons: Movies on computer do not include any sound.

Bottom Line:
Buy it if you want a good camcorder and you can get it for 600 or less. Don't buy if you expect PC based movies with sound. Read More
