<p>Wi-Fi-capable cameras like Canon's latest PowerShot additions allow users to share digitized memories online at the press of a button ... so long as there's a wireless network or smartphone within range. Samsung's Galaxy Camera offers instant gratification in the shape of 3G/4G capabilities, but is mighty expensive. Swedish-led Q Lifestyle has released a colorful 5 megapixel, 3G-packing pocket camera called theQ that's both easy on the budget and simple to use.</p><p>theQ point-and-shoot is described by its developers as a modern vintage camera. The outer housing benefits from a rubberized coating and a slight thumb-friendly cutout, and there's a simple through-body viewfinder/window to frame up shots (and double as a home for a belt clip or carabiner). The housing is also sealed against dust and water ingress, so users can take theQ along for a quick dip in the pool (up to a depth of 3.3 ft/1 m for 30 minutes).</p><p>Designed for mobile connectivity, users will need to throw in a 3G-capable SIM card, like the ones used for mobile phones. It doesn't come supplied with one, however, leaving users free to choose their own carriers, but this will obviously add to the initial outlay for the camera.</p><p>Pressing the Save & Share button once sends an image to a user's online photo album at theQ Lab over 3G or mobile networks. This is also the place to spice up images courtesy of nine post-production filters. There's currently no limit on the amount of photos users can send to this free and secure online vault. Hitting the Save & Share button a second time flings the captured digital memory to user-selected social networks.</p><p><a href="http://www.gizmag.com/theq-3g-camera/29218/">Keep reading...</a></p>
