GE Digital Camera’s first bridge camera – the X5 – has arrived in the UK. The X5 boasts 14 mega pixels, 28mm wide angle lens and an award-winning pan capture feature for landscape scenes.
What is it?
The X5 is a bridge camera. According to Wikipedia, bridge cameras are “cameras that fill the niche between the single-lens reflex cameras (SLRs) and the Point-and-shoot camera.”
What do I get?
• Optical Image Stabilization • ISO 3200 • 27mm Lens
Features also include pan-capture panorama, face detection, auto-scene detection and in-camera red-eye removal. Available in black or white.
Oh, quirky
The X5 has in-built ’smile’ detection. The shutter automatically releases when the smile appears. Perfect for a reluctant subject. Plus, if they smile and blink, ‘blink detection’ tells you to take another shot.
Show me the money
The X5 is currently retailing at around £129.99.
Where’s the deal going down?
Available from all ‘good photographic retailers’. It’s on sale online now.
In a nutshell
The perfect camera for making smile-resistant, blink-happy, red-eyed types look a little more normal.
This is a review? Looks more like a edit of the press release.
