More power and more performance are just the beginning for the GE E1680W Digital Camera, 8x Optical Zoom. One of the slimmest models available in the long zoom arena, the GE 16 Megapixel Camera, Black Power Series brings you closer to the action and object of your affection in no time at all. Live in the moment and don't miss a shot with this GE digital camera. With the GE 16 Megapixel Camera, Black Power Series, you get high-quality still images and video recordings with features such as 720p HD Movie Recording, Face Detection Technology, Optical Image Stabilization and Blink Detection. Plus, GE 5.1-40.8mm zoom lens with 8x optical zoom, equivalent to a 28-224mm lens on an analog camera with Single AF, Multi-AF. Auto adjusting brightness, built-in flash with Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Forced Flash, No Flash and Slow Synchro plus more features make this GE E1680W Digital Camera, 8x Optical Zoom the ideal camera.
This camera is great! It has all sorts of settings, like outdoor and indoor picture taking modes, panoramic option, and many other things I am still getting used to. The zoom is awesome, I have been taking pictures of birds and getting really great quality photos. The only thing I have a hard time with is the battery life, which I was already aware of before I bought the camera based on other reviews. What I've been doing when I take my camera with me is I'll take a couple photos, turn the camera off, then turn it back on to take another photo or two later on. It works better than to leave it on in between shots. I've taken about 20 pictures on this current charge and I've only lost one bar, compared to taking continuous shots you'll only get about 10 pictures per charge. I definitely recommend this camera to any casual photo takers because of the quality of photos, durability of the camera and the wide array of settings.

Review 3 for GE Black Power Series E1680W Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 8x Optical Zoom
Takes great daytime photos, 8x optical zoom is amazing, low light photos tend to be a bit washed out of color when using flash as the main light source but raising other lighting if available, fixes this. Overall it's a great camera and the red eye reduction works 100% effectively. Some great technology in this camera, I really like it. Controls/menus are also easy to use and figure out.

Review 5 for GE Black Power Series E1680W Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 8x Optical Zoom
Very Poor Quality...

Although this camera sports plenty of pixels, options, and features, the overall quality is far below what I would've expected. Images aren't defined and are pretty low-quality for such a high number of megapixels, comparable to a smart-phone camera (1.5 megapixel quality), the flash is too much, and the macro is terrible! Pictures are usually too bright, or too dark, there isn't a happy medium. The brand-new battery hardly holds a charge, and after only about 15 - 20 photos, it died. I only had it for a day before I sent it back. Definitely not worth $60. A Vivitar in the clear packages would probably perform better!

Red-eye reduction, didn't do a very good job...

Blurred and too dark, even though flash was used...

Review 8 for GE Black Power Series E1680W Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 8x Optical Zoom
This camera is about the same size as one of the older cell phones. NOT big, so it fits in a small pocket someplace, or a small purse but and it is loaded with features. The size is critical. Somehow you need to pick up a handle that you can screw into the bottom of the camera which will let your big hands control all that power.
At some point, you realize you have to stop and read the instructions slowly, but that is fine.. the instructions are clear. Again.. loaded with features although they are not mandatory so you can use it right of the bat doing point and shoots. Excellent optical zoom and clear photographs. It is an excellent size if you get the handle, and the features will give you just about anything you want. Very good camera at any price.

This was a gift for my 6 year old grandson. He automatically tore into the box to get the pieces together. Only disappointment was that the battery was not pre-charged so he couldn't use it right away! Two weeks after he got it, he's already mastered all the functions and he is taking great photos. He's the envy of his kindergarten class!!

Camera has an 8x zoom but it does not take clear pic if u zoom in on a flower bloom vs the whole plant. I have to trick it to upload pic to facebook as being a album vs a single photo. I like that it is a rechargeable battery.

Review 13 for GE Black Power Series E1680W Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 8x Optical Zoom
I love taking pictures and was a little nervous about purchasing a new camera and going outside my comfort zone. But WOW! This Camera takes beautiful pictures and you have several modes to choose from. The best is the panoramic mode, very easy to use!!

Seems to be working better than my 2 yo samsung 12mp 720p. Just a learning curve as with all these cameras. I did see this for a little less than the $50 I paid which was a bummer. The free shipping was a joke, took almost 10 days to get it.

Reading some review's about this camera was a little scary but getting my camera a couple of weeks ago the bad review's were certainly proven wrong. The 8x optical zoom work's out amazing and the picture still come's out looking amazing. The battery was very exceptional I saw a few review's saying that the battery lasted a couple of picture's and then died. I have had the camera going on 3 weeks now and have not charged it since I took it out of the box and take at least a couple of pictures everyday.
All in all I am hugely happy with my purchase.

Review 16 for GE Black Power Series E1680W Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 8x Optical Zoom
This camera is small, light and packs a punch! Everything about this camera is above my expectations so far. I've been using it for a week and have much to learn about it as it can do way more than advertised. I especially love the panorama mode! I live in Arizona near Superstition Mountain and have already taken some awesome shots! Great deal for the money!

I have owned several digital cameras. The pictures lack definition for 16 megapixels. They remind me of cameras of about 5 MP. The long zoom adds to the image loss as does low light levels like indoor pictures. The battery runs down very fast, expect to charge it frequently. I get about 20 exposures per charge with no flash.
The best feature is the pencil sketch mode. I am keeping this camera because of its small size and ability to set manual exposures ( I can't do manual exposures with the Nikon S series cameras, It also has spot and center weighted metering which the Nikons do not.). It is a good value but expect it to be the quality of a lesser camera. I paid $59 usd. for the black model and got free site to store shipping. It is the best camera for the low budget buyer like me.

Review 19 for GE Black Power Series E1680W Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 8x Optical Zoom
I ordered this to replace my Sony Cybershot, which I am not too happy with. I was excited to get this and once I opened the box I started taking pictures inside. I tried several different settings but all the pictures were dark! Not sure if it was me or the camera but I tried everything!

Review 20 for GE Black Power Series E1680W Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 8x Optical Zoom
I got this camera during tax season so it was $49 and I must say it's the best one I've had so far! I've never owned at GE camera, but it's great. The stability when pointing and shooting is amazing and the screen is 3" so you can view the pictures easily. I would recommend this camera for someone who wants an average size camera, easy to travel with and afford.
