It seems like we're heading into an experimental phase in camera design. Only a few months ago, an ultraslim chassis was enough to merit design kudos; now we're seeing models such as the recently announced Pentax Optio X and Sony Cyber Shot DSC-F88, both of which play with the physical design of compact camera bodies as well as the mix of camera and camcorderlike features. To this growing list, Sony adds the radically unusual Cyber Shot DSC-M1, a 5-megapixel camera with extended movie-capture capabilities.
