Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 prices and specs
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 was released on Jan 8, 2009. For today the lowest price for the camera is $315.99.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Cyber-shot DSC-G3 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't make pictures of the same great quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 can make images at 10 megapixels max resolution. But for better photo quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the model will make images with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it is more portable. And if you want to capture images of the professional quality pay attention to Leica M10.
The Cyber-shot DSC-G3 has max shutter speed of 1/1000 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but still the photographer will manage to shoot images of moving subjects. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 can even produce videos but the max resolution is not very high - 640 x 480 (30.
The lens is fixed and the photographer won't be able to change it. The lens provides 4x optical zoom.
