Description

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M1 is a distinctive compact digital camera introduced in 2004, designed around a hybrid still-image and video concept. It combines a 5.09-megapixel 1/2.4-inch Super HAD CCD with Sony's Real Imaging Processor and a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3× optical zoom lens.

Its unusual vertical body incorporates a 2.5-inch Hybrid TFT LCD with 100% frame coverage and is designed to make switching between photography and video straightforward. The camera supports MPEG-4 movie recording with stereo audio, including 640×480 recording at approximately 30 fps.

The Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens provides a 38–114mm equivalent focal range with a maximum aperture of f/3.5–4.4. The DSC-M1 also offers 5-point Multi-Point AF, Spot AF, manual focus, a built-in flash, and ISO settings from 100 to 400.

With its distinctive form factor, early MPEG-4 video capability, CCD sensor, and Carl Zeiss optics, the DSC-M1 is an interesting choice for collectors and photographers looking for a compact digital camera with a distinctly early-2000s Sony design.
