TORRANCE, Calif. (PRWEB) November 9, 2007 Pamida is now selling two models of the GE digital camera line at all of its stores: the A730 (MSRP $99.99) and the E1030 ($199.95). We're thrilled to have GE cameras available in Pamida stores, said Hiroshi Hugh Komiya, chairman and CEO of General Imaging. Pamida is another very important member of our retail team. Pamida is a regional retailer focused on bringing value and convenience close to home in small communities. Headquartered in Omaha, Neb., the company operates 214 stores throughout 16 states, primarily in the Midwest. Pamida carries a wide variety of merchandise including apparel, home electronics, domestics, seasonal items, toys, housewares, and grocery offerings, and features top-quality name brands. In addition, the company operates pharmacies in 128 retail stores and offers free prescription mail-out service throughout all Pamida markets. Pamida is an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. Pamida is a quality retailer with a great reputation for serving its customers, said Rene Buhay, General Imaging's senior vice president of sales and marketing for the Americas. We look forward to a successful, long-term relationship. Laurie Wharton, vice president, general merchandise manager of home, home entertainment and seasonal for Pamida, said Pamida is committed to providing our customers with a quality product at an exceptional value. Our new relationship with General Imaging allows us to offer our customers an exciting new line of cameras at a very affordable price. All GE cameras boast sleek and intuitive design, as well as an array of popular, advanced functions as standard features, including face detection, image stabilization, red-eye removal, 1600 ISO sensitivity, and panorama stitching – all of which are embedded in the camera. Panorama stitching is proving to be an especially popular feature, allowing the user to join three images together seamlessly to take in landscapes and other wide vistas. GE cameras also offer movie mode, continuous-shot mode, and a variety of special scene modes – all at prices far less than many of their competitors. The GE A730 includes features one would expect from a much more expensive camera, including 7 megapixels of resolution, a 3x zoom, and a 2.5-inch LCD screen. The E1030 has 10 megapixels, a 3x zoom and a 2.7-inch LCD screen. An independent new company based in Torrance, Calif., General Imaging unveiled eight cameras on March 8 during PMA 07, the leading industry photographic trade show in Las Vegas.

Canon Announces the G1X — a More Powerful Fixed Lens Camera

admin — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:15:44 +0000

NYC, NY (PRWEB) January 09, 2012 B&H Photo is excited to share with photo enthusiasts the release of the latest Canon G1XFixed Lens Camera. The new Canon G1X replaces the PowerShot G12, and offers improvements and advanced technologies that make this camera behave like its much larger than it really is. The compact G1 X is armed with a new 1.5-inch High Sensitivity CMOS sensor, which is larger than a 4/3 sensor, and nearly as big as the APS-C-sized sensors found in professional DSLRs. This gives one a light-sensitive area which is nearly 6.3 times larger than the last generation of G-Series digital cameras, and delivers a quality level thats unheard of in a compact, pocket-friendly camera. The shooting and photo effects in the G1X stretch the photographer’s creativity. A brief sampling of modes includes: Custom, Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Handheld Night Scene, Program (and all his friends: Shutter-Priority, Aperture-Priority, the aforementioned manual, etc.), Super Vivid, Nostalgic, Toy Camera Effect, Monochrome, Poster Effect, and then some. Another interesting feature is the Movie Digest which allows one to create a video of highlights from a day of shooting. When Movie Digest is on the camera will automatically record a short video clip (up to 4 seconds) every time one shoots a still image. The entire day’s worth of clips will be automatically combined into a single video. Of course, the High Dynamic Range shooting mode takes a number of shots to ensure one will get a photo that works – one underexposed, one overexposed, and one normal. All three are combined for an image that is balanced and evenly detailed with flattering shadows and highlights. The lens on the G1X was designed to take full-advantage of its oversized 14.3 Megapixel sensor. And a powerful DIGIC 5 Image Processor has been employed to improve noise reduction, allowing this little camera to achieve an ISO up to 12800, ultimately enabling one to photograph in low light with less blur and shorter exposure times. The f/2.8 lens has 4x optical zoom, which utilizes Canons UA Lens technology to suppress aberration throughout the zoom range. With a 35mm equivalent focal length of 28-112mm, this lens will capture any scene, from portraiture to landscapes. Whether one has been photographing for years and desire a compact camera that doesnt compromise on image quality and features, or a beginner who needs an excellent camera that can be used immediately, the new Canon PowerShot G1 X is a formidable and exciting new option. Theres a lot more to dig into on this camera: full 1080p HD video with a dedicated movie button and stereo sound, an optical viewfinder, a variable-angle 922,000 dot 3-inch LCD screen, 14-bit RAW shooting, HDR, tracking auto focusand a heck of a lot more. Canon DIGIC 5 Image ProcessorThe latest-generation Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor brings phenomenal increases in processing speed and power. Improved chip architecture and algorithms deliver greatly expanded functionality with further refinement in image quality. Improved noise reduction produces clearer images when shooting in low light at high ISO speeds. Enhanced i-Contrast performance adjusts differences between light and dark areas to achieve even more natural-looking results. The faster processing speed also results in faster continuous shooting capability. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor also makes possible a highly advanced automatic white balance system. Whereas conventional white balance makes an overall adjustment based on a single type of light source, the Canon Multi-Area White Balance analyzes several areas of the image to determine whether different adjustments are needed, for example, for the main subject and the background.
