Comments on: Does Sony DSC-G3 camera get wireless right?

A combination of photo album features and sophisticated Wi-Fi connectivity may make this a standout model.

This is only a "first" because its integrated (not an option). Kodak released the EasyShare One which used a WiFi antennae in a second SD slot several years ago. Too bad we aren't seeing more cameras with this integrated. For this to be successful, it should automatically upload photos to your home PC if you are taking pictures in your house, without having to manually "push" them. Also, once there is WiFi, the camera should be able to browse the internet as well. This is not a stretch at all, since you already need TCP/IP for the WiFi and the camera has a large display anyway.

why would you want to surf the internet on your camera?? Thats what computers and now cell phones can do. NO ONE uses a point and shoot THAT much so they can surf the internet on it. pointless, if you ask me... however, the automatic upload would be cool as well, thats why they should also include a Bluetooth antenna as well

Interesting features, but not quite enough info even for a review without hands-on testing. If you don't tell us whether the camera takes RAW as well as JPG images, many of us will waste time taking a closer look only to find that the camera is just for beginners.

It's still a nifty device, a digicam with wifi capabilities. I wish for it to have flexibility in wifi-connections meaning, not just connecting to computer or wifi-router, but connecting the wifi camera to a wifi-enabled PDA such as iPhone and Blackberry. That way, you can email or upload to your own blog (wordpress anyone?) without having the need to upload very low quality photos coming from iPhone's small camera. I don't want to upload any of my high quality photos to a online photo gallery provider such as Flickr and others.
