GE E1050 Announced

GE have announced the new 10 megapixel GE E1050, it features a wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens, and a touch screen, plus:

"Setting a new standard for the term “feature-rich” is the new E1050, which boasts a number of innovative attributes, including: • High-definition movie recording • HDTV playback capability for both movies and stills • User-friendly touch-screen controls to access more features with fewer buttons • GPS receiver that allows busy photographers to keep track of exactly where they were when they shot their favorite scenes.

Such features are usually found only in higher-priced SLR cameras or camcorders rather than a point-and shoot digicam like the E1050. And unlike most cameras with HDTV capability, the E1050 does not require an additional “cradle” to support it. Considering that it also has a 28mm equivalent wide-angle lens, the 10-megapixel, 5x zoom E1050 has everything today’s digital camera enthusiast could want – for only $249.99 MSRP."
