Wi-Fi enabled cameras might not be the latest thing under the sun—folks have been using integrated wireless capabilities to sideload photos and even upload images to social networking sites and photo sharing services for a while now. But try using those cameras in typical public Wi-Fi hotspots and users often run into a problem: no way to enter a password or other credentials. To fix that problem, Sony is offering the Cyber-shot DSC-G3, which the company is claiming to be the first Wi-Fi enabled digital camera with an integrated Web browser, so users can easily connect to public wireless hotspots.
