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.

Eye-Fi Plans to Support YouTube
Eye-Fi us best known for making memory cards for cameras and camcorders that include integrated Wi-Fi circuitry. The idea is that users can upload their images and video to a local network without having to connect their cameras to a PC, transfer files, and lugubriously futz with their media in order to get data off their camera: take a picture, and it’s ready to be transfered.
Now, Eye-Fi has announced the company is working on a way for users to wirelessly upload videos directly to both YouTube and a home computer using the Eye-Fi wireless memory cards. According to Eye-Fi, the feature will support full-resolution HD video when used with HD-capable cameras.
