General Electric X1 Digital Camera
Not sure if you would ever buy a camera from General Imaging but the company released a whole bevy of cameras which were at display at the PMA. The GE Branded cameras do look promising though.
The most advance camera by GE is no doubt the General Electric X1Digital Camera which has an SLR like design and offers features like eight megapixel resolution, a 2.5" LCD display, and a 12x optical zoom lens and the all important optical image stabilization. The camera includes Scene Modes like Sport, Kids & Pets, Party/Indoor, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Aquarium, Portrait, and can also record movies with audio.
The General Electric X1Digital Camera uses four standard AA batteries and one also comes across USB and NTSC / PAL video connectivity, 26MB of built-in memory and an SD / MMC card slot. The camera is PictBridge compatible and has a max ISO of 3200. Pricing and availability have not been announced at this time.
