The Sony DSC-G3 isn’t the first camera with wi-fi built in, but it’s the first that also has a web browser, so while you’re shooting 10.1 MP photos of hot-air balloons you can go online and look at photos of hot-air balloons that are way better.

A minimalist metal block with a 4x optical zoom lens, image stabilization, and 4GB of built-in storage, it can upload pictures and video directly to YouTube, Shutterfly, Photobucket, or Picasa.  Eat it, Flickr!

The camera originally sold for $500 can be bought from Amazon for only $419.95.
