hey there I'm Josh Goldman senior editor with cnet and this is a look at the GE e 14th NSW it's a better than basic ultra compact with a 10x zoom lens in front 3 inch LCD on back and micro HDMI output and a 14 megapixel CMOS sensor all for a reasonable price below 160 dollars now there are similar cameras from other manufacturers priced as low but they use slower performing CCD sensors the CMOS sensor allows for fast burst shooting at up to 10 frames per second at full resolution 1080p movie capture and high dynamic range photos the camera has a nice selection of shooting options too including some fun color modes and an easy panorama creator photo quality is good given its price you won't want to use it indoors or in low light without a flash but in daylight you'll get fine results and it's shooting performance is decent too but the camera always turns on with the flash activated and auto so if it thinks you need the flash you'll be waiting to shoot in fact just about any setting change you make for photos that strays from the defaults will be undone when you power off or change shooting modes which can be very frustrating otherwise if you primarily stay in auto and do the majority of your shooting during the day it's a good value i'm josh golden and that's the GE e 14th nsw
