Product Description

Equipped with a lightweight, ultra-slim body that combines portability with style, the GE E840s 8-megapixel intermediate point-and-shoot camera offers the type of features typically reserved for premium models. The E840s offers an impressive 8-megapixel resolution bolstered by a 4x optical zoom, a 4.5x digital zoom, and an 18x combined zoom. The high-resolution 2.7-inch LCD screen, meanwhile, offers a crisp 230,400-pixel resolution, so you won't have to squint to play back the images you've captured. Add in an aspheric all-glass lens for sharper, clearer pictures and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for nonstop picture taking and you have a terrific camera for vacations and casual use.

The GE E840s boasts several advanced features, including auto-brightness LCD technology, which ensures perfect screen visibility both indoors and out; electronic image stabilization, which automatically overcomes shaking or blurring caused by accidental hand movements to produce clearer photos; in-camera panoramic stitching, which stitches three images into a single panoramic picture to produce an ultra-wide shot; smile detection technology, which detects when subjects are smiling and releases the shutter automatically when the smiles reach their peak; and red-eye removal, which removes the appearance of red eyes in shots taken with a flash. Other advanced camera functions include blink detection technology, face detection technology, support for MPEG-4 movie recording, 26 MB internal memory, and a high ISO rating.

Expandable up to 4 GB with SD or SDHC memory cards, the camera measures 3.8 by 2.2 by 0.77 inches (W x H x D), weighs 3.4 ounces, and carries a one-year warranty.

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.
