Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3
Digital Camera Review
Jan 08, 2009
- By Tim Barribeau
The newly announced Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 takes the 10-megapixel sensor, 4x lens, 4GB internal memory and the user interface of the DSC-T700, sticks it in a new body, with Wi-Fi and a fully functional browser. The G3 is currently available for $499.95, and we took it for an extended test drive at CES.

Sony's just introduced Cyber-shot DSC-G3 essentially takes the company's previously released T700, sticks it in a new body, and adds wireless functionality. This means that every advantage and problem that we had with the T700 might still exist, from the troubled touch-screen to the below average test performance. We were very impressed by the ease of use of the Wi-Fi, and its ability to browse any website and connect to any paid service, as well as its slick look, comfortable handling and 4GB internal memory. The G3 has a 10-megapixel sensor, 4x zoom and is available right now for $499.95.
The following First Impressions review is based on an extended test drive on the floor of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Performance may vary when we get a final retail model out into a real-world environment.
