A Sony Camera Running Linux

Posted by kdawson on from the answer-is-yes dept.

jonr writes "At the recently concluded Consumer Electronics Show, Sony presented the new camera from its Cyber-shot product line. The DSC-G3 comes with a Zeiss lens with 4x zoom, a large 3.5" touch display, and 4GB of internal memory. Most interesting is the camera's software that includes, among other things, face and scene recognition, based on Busybox and Kernel 2.6.11 for the Access Linux Platform. The camera also has built-in Wi-Fi."

    Doesn't play ogg. Couldn't get the nfs working with dad's laptop and he still seems confused by the sh commands needed to copy files.

    And despite my best efforts, he will never understand crontab or the shadow password file.

    No offense but, what if I'm using such a camera to make a sex tape of your wife? Will it upload to youtube too?
