Sony DSC-G3 Camera Running On Linux with Wi-Fi

The Sony DSC-G3 runs linux though you would never know. It's a 10-megapixel camera that has Wi-Fi. It uses Busybox which is a embedded system that runs on Linux. BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc.

The camera comes with a Zeiss lens with 4x zoom, a 3.5" touch display and 4 GBytes of memory. Most interesting is the camera's software that includes, among other things, face and scene recognition.
