General Electric (GE) is getting into the digital camera world by branding a fleet of cameras by General Imaging, a small manufacturer founded by the former president of Olympus. GE will place its name on a full range of cameras, all of which will have red-eye removal and image stabilization, including the high-end X1 camera, which features an 8-megapixel sensor, 12X optical zoom, mechanical image stabilization and a 2.5-inch LCD.
GE will also release a G-series that will feature sleek, stylish and compact cameras. The first entry into the series is the G-1, which includes a 7-megapixel sensor and 3X optical zoom in a svelte package that's just over 3.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches high.
GE's E-series will be mid-range point-and-shoot cameras, offering sensors ranging from 8-megapixels up to 12-megapixels, and 4X to 5X optical zooming capabilities. The entry-level series of GE digital cameras will be the A-series, which at the moment includes two cameras, the A730 and the A830. These feature 7-megapixel and 8-megapixel sensors respectively. All of GE's cameras will have red-eye removal fixes and image stabilization. Pricing and availability for the cameras have yet to be announced.
