General Electric Co. (GE) and corporate newcomer General Imaging Co. announced
the two companies have reached an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement by
which General Imaging will design, manufacture and distribute an all-new line
of GE-branded digital cameras.



Headquartered
in Torrance, Calif., General Imaging brings together a variety of photo industry

chief designer. Kawano's design credits include the Sony Walkman, the Sony VAIO

designs. We're responding to that demand with cameras that are a statement of
style and at the same time have all the latest technology."



According to Kawano, advanced features such as image stabilization, high ISO
sensitivity, and panoramic stitching will be standard on all models. Entry-level
GE digital cameras will start with 7 megapixels of resolution and 2.5-inch LCD
screens. Higher-end GE cameras will offer up to 12 megapixels of resolution
and 3-inch LCD screens. A photo printer will also be included in the line.
