{"product_id":"sony-cyber-shot-dsc-m2","title":"Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe DSC-M2 arrived in 2005 as one of Sony's strangest and most committed design experiments: a camera held vertically like a phone, with its screen flipping out sideways and separate dedicated buttons for photo and video. The Super HAD CCD, Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar folded-path lens, and stereo mic — a first for any Sony digital camera — made it more than just a concept. This was Sony betting that casual photography was one-handed and always rolling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eNO FILTER: SHOT ON DSC-M2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/DSC00009_66e3d4da-2c2f-4b7b-a9d3-3b9338065e49.jpg?v=1776946578\" alt=\"\" width=\"361\" height=\"270\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/DSC00035.jpg?v=1776946603\" alt=\"\" width=\"361\" height=\"270\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/DSC00001.jpg?v=1776946557\" alt=\"\" width=\"361\" height=\"270\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE LOOKS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn silver, the M2 is all satin aluminum and curves — a tall, narrow rectangle that sits in one hand like a TV remote, not a camera. The 2.5-inch LCD flips out 90 degrees on the left and powers the camera on as it does, leaving your thumb sitting naturally over the photo and movie buttons. The lens sits at the top on a slightly tilted axis so your wrist stays relaxed while shooting. The whole silhouette is unlike anything else Sony made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE SPECS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e5.1-megapixel 1\/2.5-inch Super HAD CCD, ISO 64–400.

Hold it one-handed, flip the screen, point at the group — you look less like you're taking a photo and more like you're just standing there. The CCD output has that warm early-2000s character, the flash punches well for the size, and Hybrid Mode capturing video around every still is a feature phones are still catching up to. A genuinely unusual object that shoots beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57002922770807,"sku":null,"price":449.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/IMG_8410_result.webp?v=1776029070","url":"https:\/\/bling-inc.com\/products\/sony-cyber-shot-dsc-m2","provider":"Bling Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
