Product Summary
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3
price range: $399.99 - $449.00
Though it's a decent camera, the Sony Cyber-shot G3's Wi-Fi implementation is a disappointment, and makes the camera overpriced relative to nonwireless models, including its better designed but otherwise similar sibling, the DSC-T700.
