The General Electric X1 offers eight megapixel resolution, a 2.5" LCD display, and a 12x optical zoom lens with the camera's standout feature - optical image stabilization. (The other GE cams all offer the ability to boost ISO sensitivity to reduce shake, but only this model has any mechanical form of stabilization). The GE X1 uses four standard AA batteries (with alkaline disposables in the product bundle), offers USB and NTSC / PAL video connectivity, and includes both 26MB of built-in memory and an SD / MMC card slot.

Pricing and availability have not been announced at this time. The press release for the General Electric X1 digital cameras can be found in another news item.
