The newest 10.1 megapixel digital camera from Sony, DSC-G3, is not only capable of taking great pictures, but also for browsing the web directly from the camera, thanks to its built-in WiFI module and web browser application. Once connected, you can easily upload your photos or videos to those media sharing websites, such as YouTube, Picasa, and Flickr; right after you shoot. No PC required. Definitely a must-have for every serious/professional bloggers!

According to Phil Lubell, director of digital camera marketing at Soyn Electronics, “Research shows that our customers greatly value sharing images and video clips, but they often forget or don’t have enough time if they wait to get home to upload images. Our new Cyber-shot DSC-G3 camera provides the simplicity and convenience of sharing in the moment, while the impulse is still fresh in people’s minds.”

Becomes the world’s first digital camera with built-in WiFI connectivity, DSC-G3 will come with complimentary AT&T WiFI access to Sony’s Easy Upload Home Page until January 31st, 2012. This offer allows users to connect through thousands of AT&T hotspots across the United States, including participating coffee shops, selected book stores and major quick-serve restaurant locations, as well as hundreds of upscale hotels and airports.

Since WiFI is the camera main feature, the company has made this function as accessible as possible. By simple pressing the WLAN button on the camera will immediately open its pre-installed web browser. It will then search for the available wireless access point and connect to one. Of course, you will not just able to upload the photos (and videos) on the net, you could also access them later (via the web browser) and show off your collection to your friends and family.

Other features include a 3.5-inch touch-panel LCD widescreen, support for DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) guidelines which lets the digicam to pair up with any other DLNA-compatible devices (Sony Bravia TV or Sony VAIO laptop for example), a 4x optical zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, a 4GB onboard memory with Memory Stick media card slot for additional space storage, photo album, Face Detection function, Smile Shutter function, and an Intelligent Scene Recognition that automatically identifies a total of eight types of scenes — backlight, backlight portrait, twilight, twilight portrait, twilight using a tripod, portrait, landscape and macro — and automatically optimizes camera settings for each challenging shooting situation, taking an additional shot in low and bright light scenarios.

Other interesting function is the anti-blink detector that automatically takes two shots and removes the one with the subject(s) closed eyes. If both pictures have subject(s) with closed eyes, the cameras will record one and display a warning so you can try again. Say goodbye to bad, ugly closed-eye photos.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-G3 digital camera is available immediately for around $500 (black-colored). It can purchased online at sonystyle.com, at Sony Style® retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail), at military base exchanges and at authorized dealers nationwide.

Sony showcased Cyber-Shot DSC-W220 digital camera during CES 2009 event. This point-and-shoot camera comes with a 12.1 megapixel CCD sensor, a Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar 4x optical zoom with 30 millimeter (equivalent) wide angle view, a 2.7-inch display, HDMI out, and 15MB of onboard storage with Memory Stick slot for external memory. Sounds nothing special, but take a look at these two functions called Intelligent Scene Recognition and Dynamic Range Optimizer. Previously only available in high-end Cyber-Shot series, these features help users get the best out of this camera.

Intelligent Scene Recognition automatically recognizes a total of five scenes—twilight portrait, twilight, twilight using a tripod, backlight and backlight portrait; and optimizes the camera settings for shooting situations, taking an additional shot in low and bright light scenarios when there are two different approaches to shooting a scene so users can choose which picture they would like to keep.

As for the Dynamic Range Optimizer, it uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine the best exposure and contrast settings in almost any shooting environment, giving images a natural look with clearer details that match what you see with your naked eye. Wonderful, isn’t it?

Other features include Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization and the incorporation of the company’s Smile Shutter technology automatically captures a smile the moment it happens. There’s also an adult and child priority setting while shooting scenes containing both adults and children, and the camera will distinguish one face from another.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W220 digital camera is retailed for around $190. Four different colors are available: silver, black, pink, and blue.
