GE's late-2000s budget compact by General Imaging — 10.1MP, 3x optical zoom, 2.4in LCD
The GE Z1300 was a budget digital compact sold under the General Electric name by General Imaging, the Torrance-based company that licensed the GE brand for cameras from 2007 until the mid-2010s. It was retailed in the UK through general merchandisers and online outlets rather than photographic dealers, in silver and red finishes.
UK retail listings specify a 10.1-megapixel sensor with a 3x optical zoom lens plus 5.7x digital zoom, and a 2.4-inch LCD for framing and playback. The feature set advertised for the model included face detection, auto scene detection and image stabilisation, with a quoted body weight of around 114g.
This is a simple automatic snapshot camera from the late-2000s budget tier, comparable to entry Kodak C-series or low-end Fujifilm A-series models. It suits buyers wanting a cheap CCD-era compact or completing a collection of GE-branded cameras, which were short-lived and are less common than the big Japanese brands.
GE cameras have no ongoing support and General Imaging is defunct, so buy on condition: confirm it powers up, the lens extends cleanly, and images write to card. Boxed examples with the original charger or cables are worth preferring, as accessory availability is poor. Detailed specifications are thinly documented online, so test rather than assume features.
