DCRP Review: GE G1


The G1 ($150 street price) is one of the first digital cameras from GE, a company more famous for light bulbs and jet engines than digital cameras. GE isn't actually designing or producing these cameras -- rather, they've licensed their brand to General Imaging, a new company founded by a former Olympus executive.

The G1 is an ultra-compact camera featuring a 3X optical zoom lens, 2.5" LCD display, point-and-shoot operation, in-camera panorama stitching, and more. It finds itself in one of the most competitive arenas in digital photography, so the G1 has its work cut out for it.

What's in the Box?

The G1 has an average bundle. Inside the box you'll find:

The 7.0 effective Megapixel G1 digital camera
GB-20 lithium-ion battery
Battery charger
Wrist strap
USB cable
A/V cable
CD-ROM featuring ArcSoft PhotoImpression, Apple QuickTime, and drivers
Fold-out Quick Start Guide + 81 page printed manual

Like most cameras these days, the G1 has built-in memory in lieu of a bundled memory card. The G1 has 26MB of onboard memory, which holds just six photos at the highest quality setting. Thus, you'll want to get a memory card right away, unless you have one laying around. The G1 accepts SD, SDHC, and MMC memory cards, and I'd suggest a 1GB card as a good starter size. A high speed card is recommended, especially if you'll be using the continuous shooting mode a lot.
