Reviewer: Victor Hugo,
Yes, the price is great, but the features are even greater. 5x zoom, blink detection, smile detection, shake detection, panorama, a bunch of different exposure programs. I found the menus very easy. (Read your manual, guys.) I bought a 16 GB SD card. Now this camera is also good for unlimited-time videos. I shot one that lasted 12 minutes. It's tough. I've dropped mine twice on concrete and it still works. The best thing is, it is very stingy with the battery consumption. Even 2 AA alkalines last a long time. No frustrations with this camera. My photos have been sharp. Thanks, GE, for packing so much into a small device at a small price.
It should be a crime that it's so cheap.

When I embarked on buying a new camera, I had 4 requirements that had to be met. Firstly, the megapixel had to be between 8-10 Megapixels. Secondly, the optical zoom had to be between 4-5X. Thirdly, it had to have a digital zoom of 4-5X. Finally, the price had to be less than $120.

I spent hours reading reviews from many websites but couldn't find a new camera that satisfied all these requirements for under $120. At first, when I found this camera on Tiger Direct's website, I was hesitant because it seemed too good to be true. After getting over the shock that it met all my requirements and the price was under $100, I decided to buy it.

Can I tell you that this camera has amazing clarity. Even the the video capture is amazingly clear. It's a steal!
Great little P&S camera

Bought this as a gift for a 6yo who really showed an interest in photography. The controls are easy enough to use that the same 6yo, without reading the manual has been able to take good quality pictures and video, and use some of the advanced features such as auto-timing (to let her take pictures of herself with the dog!)
Good camera

The GE A950 camera works good. My previous Nikon S4 quit working due to a common problem of that model. So I decided to switch to a U.S brand instead of a Japanese brand. It turns out pretty nice.
Some pros are:
5x optical zoom is better than the standard 3x zoom camera.
AA batteries are much easier 2 find than lithium batteries.
Scenes Function is really handy
It is light.
The brightness of the LCD is automatic adjusted and really clear under all environment.
The cons are:
at wide angle side, the barrel distortions is pretty obvious, but can be fixed with software
the built-in panorama maker is not so effective.
batteries drains kinda fast (about 120-200 pics) but I use rechargeable batteries and 15-minute quick charger so it is not really a problem 4 me.
Over all it is a excellent camera for that price
Nice Camera

Reviewer: believer,
This is a nice, handy camera. The size is small enough to take anywhere and yet the quality is very good. The price is very reasonable and I am happy with this purchase. I bought this for a gift and want one for myself now.
