The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1 Digital Camera may seem like your typical point-and-shoot digital camera with 6.0 megapixels of resolution and a 3x Optical Zoom lens. One look though at its unique design and super-high quality 3.5" XtraFine LCD screen, and you know that this is no ordinary digital camera.
The camera also has a surprise on the inside - a massive 2 gigabytes of internal memory with which you can store up to 7,500 images at VGA resolution or 600 full-resolution photos. In addition the 9-point auto focus and twilight mode automatically adjusts the camera settings for beautifully clear photos - even in low light
Unique Dual-Use Design
The durable and stylish aluminum body of the he DSC-G1 has a built-in cover that, when closed, hides the cameras shooting controls and provides simple side buttons to search and access photos on the XtraFine 3.5" LCD screen; thereby making the camera an excellent image viewer. When you want to shoot, simply slide the cover open to reveal the lens and camera control buttons.
6.0 Megapixel Super HAD CCD
The advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD is specially designed to allow more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity while reducing noise, so your images will look gorgeous - even when taken under low light conditions.
Carl Zeiss 3X Optical Zoom Lens
The world renowned quality of the Carl Zeiss 3x zoom lens ensures that your images will be sharply focused. Moreover, the macro and magnifying glass modes provide for super-sharp close-ups and miniature hobby photography.
Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization
Sony's Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood, or capture images in museums or places where a flash is not permitted. In addition, the higher sensitivity (ISO 1000) of the DSC-G1 allows shooting at higher shutter speeds to stop fast action and further assist in the capture of beautiful low-light images.
Capture High-Quality Video Clips
The DSC-G1 can shoot MPEGMovie4TV video clips with full-screen VGA (640 x 480) resolution at up to 30 fps, while allowing you to fit more video in your available memory capacity compared to other video formats.

2 Gigabytes of Internal Memory

Plus, you can further expand the memory up to an additional up to 8GB with Memory Stick Duo or PRO Duo media (optional).
Automatic Image Management and Advanced Search Technologies
With 2GB of built in storage, it may become difficult to organize so many photos, so the DSC-G1 has an automatic image management feature which can organize all your photos based on when they were shot, and can also let you view photos as thumbnail images and quickly select shots for full-screen viewing. Furthermore, the included Album Editor software provides advanced search capabilities which allow you to search photos by color, face or similarity to another image.
