Excellant value and good camera If you want to pay double you can get something only a little better. I gave this to my Mom and it works great as a pocket camera for family and vacation pics. The blink detection works good, good battery life. Decent camera to carry around I was looking for a small camera that would be easy to carry around on short trips. But I also had some basic requirements: decent resolution and optical zoom (at least 5x), the use of AA batteries, and a price within $100. Most of the latest thin cameras use proprietary lithium-ion batteries, but these need re-charging and if you run out of power on the go, you are stuck. It is easier to simply pop into any local store in the world and buy a few AA batteries. The GE A1050 is great for me, as it fits the above bill very nicely. Granted it is not as thin as other models, but this unit still fits easily in my shirt pocket and does not weigh it down. The picture quality is great and the video mode is also handy when I do not have my more bulky camcorder with me. Photos are sharp and print very well. Nice LCD screen size too. I am yet to explore any settings beyond the typical ones accessed via the external buttons. Overall, a very good general-purpose point-and-shoot device. I was slightly skeptical about the GE brand for cameras, but I believe they have done well with this model. Terrible Pictures This GE camera is easy to use but 90% of the photos are blurry. On ALL settings, the camera cannot stabilize handling motion. Most pictures are very blurry and ruined. I would not recommend this camera to anyone. I am going to give it to my child as a toy.
