You want megapixels? The A730 has seven -- you don't see that every day in a basic model. A simple, intuitive user interface makes the A730 easy to use right out of the box. A 3X optical zoom and a 4.8X digital zoom capture superior close-ups. And a vibrant 2.5-inch LCD screen makes it easy to frame your subject and review your images.

Packed inside its sleek and stylish camera body is a whole host of additional features like in-camera panoramic stitching, red-eye removal, face-tracking, electronic stabilization and MPEG-4 movie recording. Powered by two AA batteries, the A730 even has an SD/SDHC memory card slot expandable up to an amazing 4 gigabytes.

You'll be hard pressed to find a more feature-rich entry-level camera. And that's why the A730 is one of the first cameras worthy of the GE name.

Includes Camera, (2) AA Alkaline batteries, USB cable, AV cable, Wrist strap, CD-ROM, Manual and Quick start guide.

Features

Image Stabilization Image Stabilization automatically overcomes shaking or blurring caused by accidental hand movement, helping you take clearer, sharper pictures.

Face Detection: The camera detects faces in a scene and then automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for them. This technology helps when taking pictures of large groups, when a person is in the distance or when the subject moves into the frame. Even if a person moves, the camera will stay focused on the face and adjust exposure. A person's face must be looking towards the camera for face-recognition AF/AE to work effectively. It also works best when taking photos in good light.
