GE To Produce Digital Cameras

Chances are your home stereo speakers, CD player and digital camera may all sport the Sony logo, or Panasonic, or perhaps that big screen television, cell-phone and digital camera were all made by Samsung. These days, cameras aren’t just regulated to Nikon, Canon, Minolta, Olympus and Pentax. Digital cameras are quickly becoming appliances, whether part of a cell-phone, a pocket point-and-shoot, or in a multi-use device like the upcoming iPhone. So it’s no surprise that General Electric will not only provide us with refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers and coffee makers, they will soon be producing digital cameras under the moniker of General Imaging.

Expect the new line(s) of GE cameras to range from 7MP to 12MP, include image stabilization and increased ISO settings. The former president of Olympus has joined General Imaging and it’s chief designer was responsible for the Sony VAIO computers and Olympus Stylus cameras. Also look for new inkjet photo printers from GE. GE plans to unveil the new cameras at the Photo Marketing Association Trade Show in Las Vegas on March 8th.
