"We know that the GE brand is very well regarded, and research shows that 76 percent of those surveyed would be interested in buying a GE camera," said Komiya. "This makes GE the perfect partner for delivering a high-quality product that is easy to use."

 GE P1 printer - Price
Prices are not yet firm, but are expected to range from $149 to $399. Cameras will begin reaching North American shelves in May, with European and Asian distribution to take place later this year. On February 13 GE and General Imaging announced a licensing agreement by which General Imaging would design, manufacture and distribute the cameras. Komiya said his goal is to be among the top three camera brands in the world within five years. "We believe digital cameras are still in a growth market," he said.
General Imaging P1 photo printer - Quality
"With the replacement cycle now down to three years, many consumers are buying their second or third digital camera, while others have been waiting for just the right camera to come along to make their first purchase. With our excellent quality, advanced features, strong value proposition and the great GE name, we are in a position to lift the entire category."
About General Imaging
Hiroshi “Hugh” Komiya had already been at the pinnacle of business. He spent nearly three decades with Bridgestone Firestone, the global tire company. Then it was on to the camera business, where he worked for Olympus Corporation for more than a decade, culminating in his tenure as President of Olympus Imaging Corporation. Not a bad record, to be sure. He retired on June 29, 2005, at the age of 63, and like retirees the world over, he soon had a lot more time to perfect his golf swing. And that was nice for a while. But the kind of drive that gives Komiya his greatest thrill doesn’t come from a tee shot. It comes from a business challenge met and conquered. It’s the drive behind the entrepreneurial spirit, the drive of ingenuity, the drive of one who has seen the inside of a big corporation, learned from it, and dreamed of a better way.
