While there are only a few new digital cameras seen at CES this year, Sony has undoubtedly stolen the spotlight with its Cyber-shot DSC-G3, a point-and-shoot with wireless networking capability and HTML browser. However, the G3 isn't the only Wi-Fi-enabled shooter seen at the tradeshow. At Samsung's booth, we spotted the a modified version of the i8.
The unnamed camera comes with wireless LAN function for uploading images to the Web. Within the menu, we saw options for sending pictures to Flickr and Picassa, two popular online photo servers. The shooter will probably be the successor to the i8, a compact camera with multimedia function. We tried using the camera to send images to Samsung's designated server, and found the process to be fuss-free. However, the company cannot confirm at press time if the new Wi-Fi-enabled i8 camera will have a Web browser, though it did mention it will launch this digicam some time between June and September this year.
