Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of GE A730 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Black)

Customer Review: Great Camera!
Summary: 5 Stars

This camera is probably the best camera I have ever owned. There is only one thing I don't like about it and that is that you have to press the button hard and sometimes a few times to get it to take the picture. I'm no photographer so this could be my own problem, but I have an issue with timing unless I set the camera on a timer. When you click the button and the first flash goes off everyone in the picture always thinks that means it's done, well it's not. It should flash twice and then you will have a pretty good picture. I've never been disappointed with the quality of the pictures I've taken.

GE's most affordable entry-level digital camera, the A730 offers a host of valuable features and a simple, intuitive user interface, making it a favorite of casual photographers everywhere. The camera boasts an ultra-sharp 7-megapixel resolution, along with a 3x optical zoom and a 4.5x digital zoom. As a result, it's a breeze to capture superior close-ups that look great whether displayed on a computer screen or printed out on a photo printer. The vibrant 2.5-inch LCD screen, meanwhile, makes it easy to frame your subject and review your images, with a resolution of 153,600 pixels ensuring a crisp image every time. And users aren't restricted to still images, as the A730 takes MPEG4 movies as well.

Packed inside the A730's sleek and stylish body are several editing functions and shooting modes, including electronic image stabilization, which automatically overcomes shaking or blurring caused by accidental hand movements to produce clearer photos; in-camera panoramic stitching, which stitches three images into a single panoramic picture to produce an ultra-wide shot; face-detection technology, which detects faces in a scene and then automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for them; and red-eye removal, which removes the appearance of red eyes in shots taken with a flash. In addition, the camera offers multiple scene modes--such as sports, children, indoor, snow, sunset, etc.--and a continuous shooting option for sports and other fast-moving subjects. Finally, there's no shortage of playback options, ranging from single photo to slideshow to histogram display. Powered by two AA batteries, the A730 even includes an SD/SDHC memory card slot that's expandable up to 4 GB. You'll be hard pressed to find a more feature-rich entry-level camera.

Other details include a macro mode (5 cm to infinity); 26 MB of internal memory; support for PictBridge-compatible printers; a USB 2.0 interface; and a sleek black housing. The A730 measures 3.68 by 2.4 by 1.12 inches (W x H x D), weighs 0.29 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty.
