Customer Review: Fun, but not great.
Summary: 2 Stars
GE isn't particularly "known" for their cameras. They are more about industrial and medical stuff (our local coal-fire power plant uses 3 GE generators). That is where they excel. But, I know and trust GE as a company since they have been around for well over 100 years. I decided this camera looked like a great deal and was worth a try.
The camera its self was very fun to use. It had a solid build (plastic outer casing) and the touch-screen was very easy and fun to use.. It felt like a very high-end camera.
The picture quality did fall short of my expectations though. On full auto mode, the pictures showed plenty of grain or noise in darker areas. I played with the ISO settings and didn't notice much difference. The lighter areas showed that the image stabilization didn't work quite as well as others. The colors were typically too warm as well.
The auto focus worked about average.
The camera performed well with HD videos. Although like pictures, the colors were too warm.
I liked that the camera was very fun to use and it looked very nice too. However I was somewhat disappointed in the picture quality. I must tell you though, that the only modern camera I have to compare it to is a $320 Cannon which is highly regarded.. so my review may be a little tougher than others.
I purchased through Amazon for $179.99, which I feel is a good price for a high-feature camera. There are probably better cameras out there for the same money, but I feel it is a fair deal if you care more about ease of use as well as features than straight-out picture quality.
And ending on that note, I am unable to say whether or not I would recommend it. It simply depends on which you care about more.
