New GE X600 superzoom (26x) with 14mp Aptina CMOS sensor
As you can see at the Cameras of 2012 (swimsuit edition), we had over 70 new superzoom digital cameras this year (so far). And some of them look-a-like. Joining the look-a-like party is the new GE (General Electric) washing machine superzoom leader (it would be overkill to call it flagship), the X600. One interesting note on this camera is that it uses a 14.4-megapixel Aptina A-Pix sensor. It has a 26X zoom ratio lens, EVF, 2.7" display, 1080p video (thank you CMOS sensor), etc.
With Kodak and HP leaving the digital camera market, GE is the last remaining major US brand marketing their own-brand digital cameras. They are probably 100% made in Asia though [speculation] :)
Some details on the new GE X600 at Photography Blog and dpnow.com and ePhotozine.
GE cameras are not tracked in the Cameras of 2012 page (we can't chase every clone out there).
