My Review 

The GE XE5 is a low priced camera which has all the options of a medium-priced camera.

The camera is relatively easy to use and with a little practice, you can master all the options available.

The optics are fairly good but distance shooting seems to be a problem with this camera.

In general it is a good all around camera for the price.

Camera "pros" 

Grips well in your hand and easy to hold.

Pictures are generally clear and precise for the optics.

Price is excellent.

Many options of a higher priced camera.

Good starter camera for learning photography.

Good size viewing screen.

Camera "cons" 

Distance shots grainy and out of focus.

Night shooting can be out of focus at times.
