1.7As the digital camera industry matures and some perennial manufacturers drop out (e.g. Konica Minolta), it’s a rare occasion that newcomers arrive on the field. Nevertheless, refrigerator and appliance manufacturer General Electric formed a branch called General Imaging and decided to create its own brand of digital cameras. In its first batch of releases is the GE G1, an ultra-slim model that totes 7 megapixels and an internal 3x optical zoom lens. The tiny, trendy G1 sells for a budget-friendly $199.
