Feature‐packed GE Power and Power Pro Series cameras deliver high‐performance features to photographers and enthusiasts at an unmatched value

DIGITAL EXPERIENCE! AT CES, LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2010 ‐ General Imaging (GIC), the exclusive worldwide licensee of GE Digital Cameras, today unveiled the latest additions to its Power and Power Pro Series line, continuing its tradition of providing consumers with the perfect blend of value and performance bundled into a feature‐rich digital camera. Whether you are a dedicated amateur photographer or simply have a passion for preserving precious moments in great detail, the new GE X500, GE E1680W and GE E1450W digital cameras are sure to impress even the toughest critics.

“Consumers can become overwhelmed with overly complicated and equally expensive digital cameras in the marketplace,” said Paul Meyhoefer, General Imaging’s vice president of marketing and product planning. “We’ve continued our mission to focus on crucial customer feedback and consumer research to fill a much needed gap within the digital point and shoot category. This year’s Power and Power Pro line‐up is no exception, with advances and improvements to highly‐coveted features and specifications found in more expensive cameras, yet still at unbeatable price points.”

Advanced features like Shutter and Aperture Priority Modes; High Dynamic Range and Smile, Blink and Face Detection to name a few, make the X500 an extreme value at an attractive introductory MSRP of $149.99.
