GE G1 Review
G1 is a well-designed camera with a clean, smart design with rounded edges and well integrated controls. Although the case is plastic, it feels pretty robust and should not have any issues standing up to use. Our only major concern is that the plastic could scratch, and that it does seem prone to picking up greasy fingerprints.
At 0.8 inches thick, 3.6 inches wide and 2.4 inches high, the G1 is a reasonably small, compact camera. However, it is a little thicker and larger than some (such as Casio’s Exilim Card cameras), and is a bit heaver at just over 4 ounces. But it’s not heavyweight and would easily slide into a shirt pocket. It’s just not the smallest camera out there.
The G1 fits pretty comfortably in the hand, with the fingers falling onto the controls. However, the zoom control is poorly placed on the top of the camera, where you have to use the index finger to control both the zoom and the shutter. This is annoying; when you frame a shot, you have to zoom in or out, them move your finger over to the shutter, a process that involves taking your eye off the screen and could lead to lost shots. The shutter button itself does not require much pressure to trigger. A light touch is all you need to take a shot.
