Not sure if anyone clued you in, but there's a reasonably large camera show going on in Anaheim, and the shooter news is flowing hot and heavy. General Imaging (or GE, as it were) has just busted out its 2010 range of point and shoot cameras, and while none of 'em are particularly mind-blowing, there are a few here worth paying attention to. The waterproof G5WP (ships in late Q2 for $179.99) is a natural successor to last year's G3WP, offering up a metal enclosure, 4x internal zoom, a 12.2 megapixel sensor and your choice of gray, red or blue color schemes. The $149.99 X5 megazoom offers up a 15x zoom lens, a maximum ISO of 3,200 and a Q2 ship date, while the J1455 brings a 14.2 megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom lens, image stabilization and a multitude of color options for $129.99. The 'Power Series' is seeing two new additions today in the 0.83-inch thick E1486TW ($179.99) and E1480W ($149.99), both of which include HD movie modes, optical image stabilization, a 14 megapixel sensor, an 8x optical zoomer and a 3-inch rear LCD. The company's low-end C- and A-series cameras are also seeing updates today, all of which are detailed in the linked presser.
its either that there's actually people buying cams from GE
or
GE has a lot of money to waste = =
@ahchar
Its the second one
Why can't these names be simple to know and understand?
Could these possibly be any more boring and generic? Are they any better than a $200 Casio? Who buys a GE digital camera?
@Smurf
The people who buy their "high-end" electronics at places like Sears and Radio Shack.
I'm wondering what's been covered up in that picture. I'm not at all interested in GE's camera efforts. However, knowing that SOMETHING has been hidden from us is driving me nuts!
Is this an actual GE built camera, or did they simply license their name and logo? I know that's what they do with incandescent bulbs.......
Wow- that is one extremely fugly camera. Who would approve this for production. I mean, I know you shouldn't by gear by the looks alone. But COME ON! Just putting a product out like this hurts your company name...
