i had buy the PDR-M5 tow days ago, and i can give a positive oppinion about it. For 799,95$, it's the best digital camera that you can buy. It's a real toy... for adults only! It's easy to use, a five year old child could take many good picture,and , if you want something of more professional, the PDR-M5 is for you too, you can realize some very professional picture. I know what i say, i'am a fashion photographer.

try it, it's a good deal!
