The eight new GE digital cameras will debut at the annual Photo Marketing Association trade show, March 8-11, in Las Vegas.
GE digital cameras will be available in North America from mid-April. Shipments to Europe and Asia are scheduled for later this year. GE digital cameras will be Number 1 in all aspects – quality, technology, performance and value. Only time will tell whether GE will be able to establish itself in the already saturated digital camera market.
