Camera Capability

Jessie Atkin psoted a blog on Digital Landing! Read about the new wifi-camera from Sony that let's you post pictures online straight from your camera!

We hope one day that the country will be completely wireless, wifi everywhere. First America then the world. Well Sony’s newest camera is preparing for that particular revolution.

The Cyber Shot G3 is the first digital camera to be wifi enabled. Basically you can upload photos to the net right from the camera, very much like cell phone shots today, but better image quality. For now you’ll have to have access to a wifi hot spot, but one day you’ll be able to upload pictures from anywhere. It kind of kills any chance you have to “sleep on it” before posting a possibly unfortunate picture, but hey, it’s the price we pay.

Never Miss a Smile

Chris McGinn posted a blog up on Digital Landing. Read about the camera that snaps the shot when your teeth show.

We finally took our holiday photo this weekend. It turned out cute despite ending in tears and a few drops of blood when my littlest took a header off the bench he was sitting on with his brother while I snapped away with my camera. Ah, holiday memories . . .

Sony has a new camera technology to make sure you never miss the smile when you take pictures. The Cybershot’s Smile Shutter feature actually recognizes the human smile to click at the precise moment a grin appears. It’s really pretty neat stuff.

The feature lets you set the sensitivity so you are sure to get just what you are looking for. You can also turn the feature off since not all pictures have to have smiling subjects.

Here is a video showing it in action.
