We like:

Still/movie double threat; 64mm LCD with excellent visibility in daylight; versatile slide-show/album mode; speedy burst mode

We don't like:

Awkward to use; few manual controls; weak flash with poor red-eye mode; no in-camera movie editing

CNET UK judgement:

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2 is a jack of all trades and a master of some. Thanks to good image quality and a big, bright LCD that's usable in sunlight, this is a surprisingly good 5-megapixel snapshooter -- assuming you're willing to pay a premium for a camera with a 3x zoom, no manual controls and no bundled memory card
