Nice photos and performance; big LCD display; usable as an MP3 player.

Awkward, occasionally frustrating design; eccentric Wi-Fi feature set.

An overpriced, overweight, and oddball camera, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1 takes decent photos, but its ancillary features--Wi-Fi and MP3 playback--aren't usefully implemented.

Sony's Wi-Fi-toting digicam is also an MP3 player.

Fancy use of Wi-Fi connectivity, 2GB built-in memory, Interesting tagging functions, Decent image quality, 3.5-inch screen

Weighty for a point-and-shoot, So-so audio, Too small buttons
