My Review 

The GE X5 is my first camera. After a long research and comparisons among the available cameras in the market within my price range, I finally chose this one. There are reasons why I chose this camera. First, the affordability of this camera is a very big factor. The camera is loaded with features you can find in an SLR, but with a price even lower that high-end digital cameras. The optical zoom is really what draws me to it. This is a bridge camera that has features of both a digital and SLR camera. Tinkering with the manual settings is just a breeze and with the right settings, you can get fabulous photos. The auto mode also shoots nice photos. This surely is a camera worth buying. For those who are thinking of buying a DSLR camera, but still have no budget, you might try this camera as a practice camera. But for me, I am satisfied already, because you can still get the same quality photos, wtih the right angles and settings. All you need is to take a shot and practice, practice, practice.
