Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1

By (cnet.com)

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.

By Richard Baguley (digitalcamerainfo.com)

Sony caused something of a stir at the PMA show in Vegas with the new 6-megapixel G1; it's the first of their Cyber-shot models to include a wireless network adapter. Although cameras with wireless adapters are nothing new (Nikon has had several wireless

- Excellent screen - Design hides controls well when not in use - Image stabilization - Wide ISO range

- Short zoom and aperture range - Small, low power flash - On the bulky side of things - Expensive!

The G1 is an intriguing camera with a lot of things on its side. For one, there is the excellent screen; it is high resolution, bright and has a great viewing angle for showing your photos to the world. If you're a proud parent looking to show your newbor...

Sony Digital Camera

By rsa101 (ciao.com)

I guess Sony is a fast emerging brand in the digital cameras. Their brand and model is now becoming popularly known in the market already since they entered into this venture several years ago. The first few models they produced was quite okay but lately

Sleek design, practical and easy to carry

Sometimes not very durable and should be carried with care.
