Sony is advancing wireless digital photo sharing with today’s introduction of the
6-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-G1 digital camera.
The Sony DSC-G1 model 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.
One-Touch Wireless Photo Sharing and Archiving
The Sony DSC-G1 model features a 3.5-inch LCD screen with resolution of 921,000
pixels. That’s 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 models’ 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. With a DLNA-compatible
PC, storing and sharing photos becomes simplified through wireless image
transfer from the camera to the PC.
Mega Storage Capacity and Sophisticated Image Management
The Sony DSC-G1 unit is the ideal vacation camera with 2GB of internal memory, saving
you from having to manage extra media cards. It becomes a virtual photo album in
your pocket as it can store up to 7,500 VGA-quality photos or 600 6-megapixel
pictures. If additional storage is needed, the 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.
In addition to storage capacity, it incorporates an auto image management
system with sophisticated search functions. You can organize your photos by
events, such as vacations or birthdays, and retrieve them later by keywords or
labels. It’s also possible to select an image and search for other photos with
the same face, same color, or a similar composition.
Armed with features for optimal shooting and sharing, the new model also
integrates built-in technologies to minimize image blur, including Super Steady
Shot® optical image stabilization. It also 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.
This new Cyber-shot model also features a distinctive design. Its Carl Zeiss®
3x optical zoom lens is wrapped in an elegant metal body. You slide the lens
cover across, instead of down as with previous models, and you’re ready to shoot
in less than a second.
