...Three key elements set the N1 apart from other Sony cameras: a touchscreen, an internal 500-image photo album and the capability to play animated, musical slideshows on the camera's screen.

Faces pressed against the glass—not unlike those Garfield dolls suctioned-cupped to a car window—a group of camera-toting, map-clutching tourists were trying to peer into my room. Apparently, they had decided that peering into a complete stranger’s room at 10 o’clock on a Friday morning would be a good way to see how Harvard students live. I felt like a fish...
