I bought this item as a gift for someone who wanted something that was small, simple, low priced, easy to use, and of acceptable quality. This camera ended up beating my expectations.

The camera is indeed small and thin, making it very portable. It's only slightly larger than my cell phone, so it still fits easily into pockets. The price is reasonable, and the quality is better than expected. It was also very basic and easy to use.

It's definitely not as high quality or feature-rich as some other brands/models. However, I wasn't looking for anything more than what this camera had to offer, and it ended up making a great gift.

Who knew that GE makes digital cameras! Well, they do and this one is a small marvel. It's so tiny that you tend to lose it in the clutter, so hang on to it! It's very simple to use but has some things that I've never seen before to make lighting easier. My only complaint is that the time between one shot and the next is slow, so wait for it to clear the decks before your next shot. I haven't tried all of the features yet, but intend to do so this summer when it's fun to be outdoors. Interior shots are fine with the camera picking the correct light, etc. About $100.00! Get this.

I originally bought this camera because of the price. I have a bad reputation for breaking small electronics, so i figured if this camera got lost, stolen, or broken it wouldn't matter. It is small and compact, good for travel, fits in my pocket just fine. It takes quality pictures, has a good battery life, and what i like most of all is that it simple. Very basic no confusing options. Point. Click. I guess its ok for a person like me because it does what a camera should. Take pictures. I'm not much of a master photographer so I'm not looking for perfect pictures. The Auto option works just fine for all my needs. Also takes very good videos. Mic is a little week though. The option wheel is the only thing that dose not work well, some of the wheel options go to a different one then the one you selected, sometimes i have to move the wheel halfway between clicks to get the right setting. But like i said I don't use a bunch of different settings so I don't mind the corky wheel, I only mainly use the panoramic option if anything because I'm and outdoors man that likes to get those wide views.

Impressed by the performance of this slim camera. Even my kids are raving about it. Very clear resolution.
