The 6-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-G1 digital camera is Sony’s first digital camera with the ability to send photos wirelessly to other Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)-enabled devices, such as another camera or a PC. The new Cyber-shot DSC-G1 digital camera’s camera-to-camera wireless capability makes it possible to send your friends a photo at the push of a button. It’s also possible for up to four camera users to send each other photos in real time. The G1 model features a 3.5-inch LCD screen with resolution of 921,000 pixels- – four times higher than the average compact digital camera and all previous Sony Cyber-shot models.
The new camera’s slide show with music function makes sharing photos directly on the camera even more enjoyable. The new Cyber-shot model with a Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens is the ideal vacation camera with 2GB of internal memory, saving you from having to manage extra media cards. It can store up to 7,500 VGA-quality photos or 600 6-megapixel pictures. The Cyber-shot DSC-G1 digital camera’s capacity can be expanded with an optional Memory Stick Duo media card or Memory Stick PRO Duo card, now available in capacities up to eight gigabytes.
The new Cyber-shot DSC-G1 model also integrates built-in technologies to minimize image blur, including Super Steady Shot optical image stabilization and has high light sensitivity, up to ISO 1000, to facilitate shooting at higher shutter speeds, as well as low-light conditions for more natural exposures or for settings where flash is not permitted. The Sony DSC-G1 digital camera wrapped in an elegant metal body measures 93.3 x 71.7 x 25.3 mm, weighs 204g (no batt) and will be available for approximately $600 from April. Additional accessories will include lenses, filters, batteries, travel chargers, sports packs and cases.
