Powered by two AA batteries. The GE A730 is our most affordable point-and-shoot camera. Yet it has the firepower of cameras nearly twice its suggested retail price. You want megapixels? The A730 has seven -- you don't see that every day in a basic model. A simple, intuitive user interface makes the A730 easy to use right out of the box. A 3X optical zoom and a 4.8X digital zoom capture superior close-ups. And a vibrant 2.5-inch LCD screen makes it easy to frame your subject and review your images. Packed inside its sleek and stylish camera body is a whole host of additional features like in-camera panoramic stitching, red-eye removal, face-tracking, electronic stabilization and MPEG-4 movie recording. Powered by two AA batteries, the A730 even has an SD/SDHC memory card slot expandable up to an amazing 4 gigabytes. You'll be hard pressed to find a more feature-rich entry-level camera. And that's why the A730 is one of the first cameras worthy of the GE name. Includes Camera, (2) AA Alkaline batteries, USB cable, AV cable, Wrist strap, CD-ROM, Manual and Quick start guide. Image Stabilization Image Stabilization automatically overcomes shaking or blurring caused by accidental hand movement, helping you take clearer, sharper pictures. Face Detection The camera detects faces in a scene and then automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for them. This technology helps when taking pictures of large groups, when a person is in the distance or when the subject moves into the frame. Even if a person moves, the camera will stay focused on the face and adjust exposure. A person's face must be looking towards the camera for face-recognition AF/AE to work effectively. It also works best when taking photos in good light. -- SPECIFICATIONs ----------------------------------- IMAGE SENSOR - 7.07 Megapixels 7.40 Megapixels (1/2.5" Charge Coupled Device) RESOLUTION - Still Image: 7MP 3072 x 2304 (3:2) 6MP 3072 x 2048 (16:9) 5MP 3072 x 1728 3MP 2048 x 1536 2MP 1600 x 1200 1MP 1024 x 768 0.3MP 640 x 480 Movie : 640 x 480 pixels: 30 fps/15 fps 320 x 240 pixels: 30 fps/15 fps LENS - Focal Length : F = 6.1mm Wide 18.3mm Tele [35mm film equivalent]: 36 mm Wide - 108 mm Tele F number : F2.8 Wide F4.8 Tele Lens Construction : 7 elements in 6 groups Optical Zoom : 3X Focusing Range : Normal- 60cm - infinity Macro - 5cm - infinity (wide) 30cm - infinity (tele) STABILIZATION- Electronic Image Stabilization DIGITAL ZOOM - 4.8x (combined zoom: 14.4x) IMAGE COMPRESSION- Best, Fine, Normal FILE FORMAT - Still Image: Exif 2.2 (JPEG) Movie : Image Compression: MPEG4 Audio : G.711 Monoaural Audio : WAVE Monoaural (Max 60 seconds) SHOOT MODES - Auto, Macro, Movie, Scene (Sport, Kids & Pets, Party/Indoor, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Aquarium), Portrait, Night Portrait, Landscape, Anti-Handshake.

I needed a smaller point and shoot because I didn't want to take my Digital SLR to the beach. This a great buy for beginners or for someone who wants a smaller camera. It is easy to uses and has video mode also. It only requires 2 AA batteries which you can find anywhere. Day time and Night time shots were awesome. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-27      camra camera is great but we did not receive the carrying case it was to come with and we thought it came with a memory card by the statement in the description of the camera. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-27      Amazing camera. I have looked at many different cameras, and this is definitely the best one I found. It is perfect for young people who enjoy taking fast pictures and videos--and a lot of them. There are many flash options, zoom options, a portrait setting, a panorama setting (combining three pictures into one), and the greatest thing is the scene settings--easily switch between taking sports pictures, no-flash pictures for kids and animals, a setting for plants, indoor setting, snow setting, sunset setting, behind glass setting, landscape setting, museum setting, night landscape setting, and night portrait setting. I don't see why pay more if this camera has everything you could ever want. Amazing picture and video quality (great sound quality, too). |  |
