 The new Cyber-shot DSC-G3 has built-in Wi-Fi and can use any public hotspot (AT&T Wi-Fi is free for 3 years). Once you’re logged on, you can easily transfer photos and video clips to popular sharing sites. Even crazier: the G3 has a web browser! That said, I’ve gotta wonder how well this $500 camera will sell in this economy — it seems like kind of a luxury item. Anyhow, here are the details:

Cyber-shot DSC-G3

• 10.1 Megapixel CCD
• F3.5-4.6, 4X optical zoom lens, equivalent to 35 - 140 mm
• Optical image stabilization
• Ultra-compact body is 3/4-inch thick
• Huge and very sharp 3.5″ touchscreen LCD with 921,600 pixels
• Built-in Wi-Fi can connect to any public hotspot
  • Easy Upload Homepage allows you to send photos to Shutterfly, Picasa, YouTube, DailyMotion, and PhotoBucket with ease
  • Free access to Sony’s Easy Upload Homepage at any AT&T Wi-Fi Hotspot for three years
  • Web browser allows you to connect to hotspots that require you to log in, and also lets you view photos you’ve already uploaded
• Intelligent Scene Recognition feature
• Face, smile, and blink detection
• Dynamic Range Optimizer improves contrast as you shoot
• Built-in 4GB photo album holds up to 40,000 VGA-sized photos
  • Photos are automatically organized by date when they’re taken
  • Pictures in the album can be viewed be date, event, or if tagged as a favorite
  • Memory Stick Duo cards also supported
• I’m going to assume it has a VGA movie mode like every other Sony camera (the release does not say)
• Optional HD video output cable
