The DSC-G1 is a 6 megapixel digital camera with a high-precision 3.5-inch liquid crystal display and built-in large-capacity 2GB memory. A slide mechanism keeps the camera compact when carrying it around or viewing photos, while also ensuring sufficient hold space when shooting to enable a confident shooting style for a large-screen camera. Where conventional digital cameras have emphasized “shooting,” this camera highlights the fun and ease of use of “viewing” as well as shooting.
