Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 launches: world's first WiFi camera with web browser

No clue why Sony didn't unleash this pretty boy with its litany of items yesterday, but maybe it just saw fit to give it some special attention. Thanks to the all-admitting FCC, we already had a good idea that this was coming, but now that it's finally here, we're still pretty jazzed. Set to rival Panny's Lumix DMC-TZ50, the DLNA-certified Cyber-shot DSC-G3 is the planet's first WiFi camera with a built-in web browser, enabling users to upload images and video directly to popular sharing sites wherever a WiFi connection is available. Of note, the camera comes with complimentary access to Sony's Easy Upload Home Page via AT&T WiFi, which provides easy entrance into Shutterfly, Picasa, YouTube, Photobucket and Dailymotion. Other specs include a 10 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom and Face Detection. It's yours to grab right now for around $500.

Looks like as nice camera for a little too much. It comes from Sony which always tend to make things a little bit different than everybody else so there might be issues. Time will tell. Now the question here is: who needs 10 Megapixels? If you are not a professional photographer or an advertising agency, you will never make use of this. So basically Sony is overcharging for a feature that most people do not need in the first place.
