Reviews for A730 Black Digital Camera

Great for still life pics..terrible for anything...

Strengths: Takes great pics

Weakness: very slow

It takes really good pics but i love taking pics of thunderstorms and although it takes pics at night there is about 4 secs between when you push the button(which sometimes has to be pushed 4 or 5 times!)and when the pic actually takes so i've missed some really beautiful lightning shots.

Don't buy this camera if you take alot of Pictures.

Strengths: Easy to use

Weakness: Battery Cover broke after 2 months. LCD died after 4 months. Poor Customer service.

For the money the camera takes decent pictures but I do not recommend it if you take alot of Photos. I used the camera quite a bit (changed batteries every other day). After 6 weeks the battery cover started failing and the plastic tab eventually broke after 2 months. The LCD died after 4 months and I returned it to General imaging for warranty Repair of the LCD. They refused to honour the warranty because the battery cover was broken and told me I should of returned it before the cover failed. They offered me a new camera to buy at a discounted rate of 92$ shipped. Needles to say I will never buy another GE product with such poor customer service.

GE A-730

Strengths: It looks nice.

Weakness: Just about everything.

I've had this camera for about six weeks and I hate it. The pictures, even if they're not blurry always come out washed out and grainy. I have a 3MP camera that takes way better pictures than this so-called 7MP camera. Sure. it's got a lot of features for the money, but they are features in name only. This thing just doesn't deliver. Oh and one more thing - their support resources are a joke. No matter what question you ask them, three days later they email you asking if you looked at the manual.

Not impressed

Strengths: Cheap, small

Weakness: Poor image quality - no image stabilization.

I bought this camera so that I didn't have to carry my Canon Rebel XTi. I took several pictures in my house with and without the flash, with and without zooming. All but one image came out blurry. If you plan on taking all your pictures from a tripod... this may be the perfect camera for you, but I wasn't impressed and returned it.

GE A730 camera

Strengths: great for the price, small enough to fit in your pocket and easy for a beginner to use also only needs AA batteries

Weakness: none so far

I would recommend this for anyone who just wants to point and shoot. Batteries are very inexpensive. has features that a camera 3 times the price has and take pretty good pictures .

Good for price

Strengths: Price, all features of an expensive camera

Weakness: Image Quality especially at night, Menu function is also not very good

I took some pictures at the best quality available plus some movies. I had this camera in $99 and compared to its price it did a wonderful job, but the problem is with just $50 up you can buy a sony, fuji or even a low end canon. The image quality altough good was not in comparison with my canon.I end up returning the camera and buying a fuji A480 with a price tag of $139.Conclusion: At $99 this is at its best. If you want beginner level camera, its perfect.
