General Imaging

General Imaging was a manufacturer of digital cameras headquartered in Torrance, California, United States, established in 2006 by Hiroshi "Hugh" Komiya, a former executive of Olympus Corporation. General Imaging sold their cameras internationally under the General Electric name, used under license. General Imaging was licensed to manufacture and sell their cameras under the AgfaPhoto name in Japan. On October 5, 2015, General Imaging filed for bankruptcy.

The entry-level GE-branded digital cameras are designed for first-time buyers and those upgrading from first-generation digital cameras. Models in this series are powered by two AA alkaline batteries.

The A730 is an inexpensive point-and-shoot GE-branded 7-megapixel camera. It has a 3X optical zoom and a 4.5X digital zoom. The screen is a LTPS TFT, 153,600 pixel, 2.5 inch, color LCD. ISO Sensitivity is Auto, ISO 80/100/200/400/800/1600. Internal memory is 26 MB. A SD/SDHC slot supports up to a 4 GB memory card. Power is by two AA batteries, alkaline or NiMH recommended.

The A830 is a point-and-shoot 8-megapixel camera that has the same zoom capabilities and other features of the A730.

The A1230 is a 12.1-megapixel camera with a 3X optical zoom lens. 4.5X digital zoom is also provided for a total available zoom of 13.5x. The camera supports electronic image stabilization, face detection, smile detection, blink detection, and red-eye removal. A mini USB port on the side of the camera allows users to download image files to a computer which recognizes the A1230 as a removable drive. The screen is an LTPS TFT, 153,600 pixel, 2.5 inch, color LCD. ISO sensitivity options are Auto, ISO 64/80/100/200/400/800/1600/3200(3M). It has 24 MB of internal memory. A SD/SDHC slot supports up to an 8 GB memory card. It is powered by two AA batteries (alkaline or NiMH recommended). The camera's firmware lacks a battery type selection setting option to obtain optimum use from NiMH batteries. Known firmware versions are 1.01 D7 and 1.10 D7. The latter version has paginated menus whereas the early version has scrolling menus.

The intermediate level of the GE-branded camera models, the E series features larger screens and is powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Memory can be expanded up to 4 gigabytes with SD or SDHC memory cards.
