GE continues its efforts to break into the photo space and has made some inroads with cameras like the 10MP J1050 and 12MP J1250 by loading them with technology while keeping their operation simple and the prices down ($119.99 and $139.99, respectively). Each camera is less than an inch thick, sports a 2.7-inch LCD monitor, and offers auto scene, blink, smile and face detection. The cameras can also auto-stitch panoramas. The cameras, which are available in red, pink, black and silver, are expected to be available “soon.”
