Introduced at CES 2009, the Cybershot DSC-G3 is a WiFi enabled digital compact camera from Sony. Featuring a WiFi connection and built-in web browser, the DSC-G3 allows users to upload and share photos immediately after they are taken - not days or weeks later once they have the time and resources. Other camera features include a 10MP sensor, 4x zoom, a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, a 3.5" LCD screen, 4GB of internal memory, an Intelligent Scene Recognition feature and Sony's Face Detection that monitors individuals' faces to avoid capturing images with closed eyes.
