The point-and-shoot crowd has been all aflutter about the sleek, 10-megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 ($500 as of 3/16/09) ever since its announcement at CES in January. It's the first camera with a built-in Web browser, "one-touch" Wi-Fi photo uploads, and 4GB of on-board flash storage (in addition to a Memory Stick slot).Sony Cybershot DSC-G3 Test ScoresAdmittedly, its Wi-Fi tricks are nothing new: The Eye-Fi card adds Wi-Fi capabilities to any camera that supports it, and cameras from Kodak, Nikon, and Panasonic have all boasted wireless connectivity in the past. The Cyber-shot DSC-G3's browser and flash storage, however, are notable additions to the mix.
What all that Wi-Fi wonderfulness means, of course, is that you can easily upload shots to Daily Motion, Photobucket, Picasa, and Shutterfly directly from the camera, as well as upload videos to YouTube. You can access other photo- and video-sharing sites via the Cyber-shot DSC-G3's Web browser, as well, but the sites mentioned here are made more easily accessible by dedicated icons on the camera's wireless menu screen.
