GE X5 Digital Camera

Sir Yuga?!?!?! IS THIS TRUE???? WOOOOW I could buy this on my next payslip :) weeeeeeeee

@Calvin its 15x.

Hitsurang dSLR na P and S!

f5.2 at 405mm for P10K? this is a steal.

very goods specs for that price and a good brand name. ganda naman nito.

nice! i’ve noticed this camera in malls and wanted to know if it’s any good. very interested in winning this one. hope you can make a review of it soon sir. =)

sample PICS please *pray* 11k lang! wohoo!!

Yung 4xAA batteries ang nagpasira :( Okay na eh… Okay na…

@mcometa
ENELOOP :)

@mccometa

Tama. Eneloop rechargeable batteries. Yung ibang tao mas gusto nila ng 2AA kasi mas madaling mabili kapag naubusan ng battery.

interesting camera.

Just google GE X5 review. you’ll find many reviews. most are a bit negative

i would be wary about buying this over a higher quality canon in the same price range

Its really nice and decent. Just remember that some sells it for 11,945 with a FREE Motorola phone DAW!!!

Actually you can buy it for 10,495 in some stores (picture city) with free 2GB SD card and rechargeable AA batteries.

I was suppose to buy this but my friend has one and he experiences the occasional seizes of Guards in Malls because the camera looks like a DSLR. So I don’t wan’t those things to happen to me, so I stick to a regular point and shoot.

But why not if I’m given a chance to win one :))

Hope that the contest will be more clear in its point, no offense but the WD contest made me confused of what to do.

Wow fantastic, might as well buy the unit as reinforcement of my Sony DSC-T900.

Thanks for the very informative post

Over-all, the GE X5 was great!

But, I’m having a small doubts about the battery usage.

Sir Abe, can you make a more extensive review on this item? Check the quality of the photos and videos, as well as the battery life.

@bon

guess what? yugatech just changed the pictures! maybe i’m right all along.. so who’s your daddy now? get over here, beach!

manong’s comment rephrased:
derp derp derp

Sir Abe,

any information about the battery life?

freebies include 4GB sd card, 4 rechargeable batteries and charger. now, the free motorola is being offered i think in all dealers. :)

As for battery concerns, you can save battery life if you use the electonic viewfinder, and not much on the LCD. Also, the battery life depends on the capacity of your battery, and if you have fully charged them before using.

I’m kinda confused. Girlteki said that this camera has a 15x optical zoom while here it says 5.7 optical zoom????? which one is correct?

san po ung anson?

its a nice camera I purchased 1 yesterday after weeks of reading reviews about it. I got it for 9445 with free rechargeable batteries with charger, 4 gig memory card and pouch. so far so good naman sya. maliban sa memory card, nag eerror sya kung minsan but powercyling the device fix it. over all, maganda sya, matipid sa battery and good picture quality.

maganda din ung manual mode nya, responsive lahat including aperture, shutter speed and ISO etc

i am planning to buy the ge x5. is this worth of buying? or should i buy a canon instead? please help mr. yuga. thanks

battery issue not a big problem,,they’re saying much better nga daw kasi u could put replacement anytime 2a bats.

i just got 1 from anson 0 interest at 12 months to pay wla ng black pro napaganda pa ksi white yun nakuha ko sbi ko nga ano to ref na digital camera ahahaha! ok sya kung nagsisimula ka pa lng sa hobby na photography ok na to kesa naman sa mahal nga gamit mo hindi ka naman marunong kumuha ng pix.

Consider ba din 2 as SLR?

i just got 1 few days ago.. so far i find it very interesting.. and i want to learn more how to use it. i tried to search in FB (“GE X5 users and enthusiasts”) but no result found.. =( ????

I purchase this camera at wellcom but after a week, four dead pixel appear on my camera. The bad thing is walang palang may alam ng service center ng GE camera. =( Kung ibabalik ko naman sa wellcom, almost a month before ko mabawi yung camera. =( Badtrip talaga!!! Ang hirap hanapin ng service center nila!!! =( Sana may makatulong po sakin. TIA.

hello.. my mom just got one but the cd-installer doesn’t work on my mac.. help :( it says on the box that it’s mac-compatible.. still, i tried looking for softwares online but to no avail… any suggestions??

been using the GE X5 for a few months now. and am lovin it. the battery life is very good. i use a 2450MAH AA batt. with one full charge it lasts me around 6-8 hours of shooting. adjustments though should be made with the AF, plus there is a bit delay with the capture of the image from the shutter press. but one can get used with it upon use. all in all this is a true value for money. a camera that takes great pictures, long zoom, full manual controls in a very cheap price.

yung ge x5 ko pag nilagay ko sa features na panaroma naghahang na… anu kaya possible cause nun guys en anu dapat gawin..help nmn oh tnx

sir yuga,, sana po mkpagreply po kau agad… gusto ko na po ksi bumili nito.. salamat,,

I just bought a GE x5 a couple of days ago. I was a previous owner of a DSLR. I travel a lot and I had a hard time using the DSLR because of of its weight and size. the GE x5 is one helluva bridge camera with slr capabilities…2 thumbs up for this camera

@Bit Disappointed:

Mine’s ok na. I had it replaced with a new MMC and so far I’m loving it. Hindi na siya nagh-hang although, you really have to have a back up battery because it drains faster. Maybe you should take it back to where you bought the cam and ask for a MMC replacement. At first I though it was because of the camera, pero I tried changing the MMC and I think it was just because of that. Right now my camera is still in very good condition and the outputs are impressive.

is it worth the buy?

hi, ask ko lang po kung ok ang battery life ng X5.. may experience po kasi ako sa GE Digicam before na naging almost useless sa akin dahil napakabilis ma-drain ng batt.. if so, ano pong brand and capacity ng ni-mh batt nyo? im planning to buy one kasi. thanks..

@sikwets:

Hi! Ganito yung pinalit na SD sa’ken:

hi. i just want to ask how big is the camera, cause i want to buy in online, but i don’t want to buy a camera that is too bulky and too heavy like the actual dslr.

ask ko lng po may selftimer po ba to, napapalitan ba lense niti at magkanu to?

sir hw much ge x5?

i agree this camera is truly value for your money! the pics are vivid and feature laden for its price! super good buy!

good day. kakabili ko lang ng GE X500 ko. ok na ok kung tingnan ang pictures sa camera, problem ko lang, bakit iba na pag nasa computer na? san ba me problema? Windows XP gamit ko.

i’m selling a GE X5 brand new….for only 9k…i need cash..

Dream camera ko tooh . 9k+ na lang to sa store ngayon .

Uhmm, Can you blur the background? cause im planning to buy a DSLR or GE X5

I purchased my GE x5 about 1.5 years ago. I use it for work and pleasure. The 15x magnification is useful. The use of AA batteries is a plus for me as this camera stays in my truck always and I don’t have to worry about a charger. It had always taken satisfactory pictures until about the last 6 months. It now loses time and date info whenever the battery door is opened or when left in the case for a period of time without use, then it won’t function until the correct time and date is programed or you accept the wrong date stored in the camera. Most of the photos I take at work require a correct time and date stamp so the camera has to be reprogramed before use at work. Also the camera refuses to autofocus correctly at longer focal lengths occasionally (the autofocus square in the view finder will be red instead of green). It seems the only way to get around this is to go to a wider angle shot, then it will autofocus correctly.

My X500 has same focus problem, but it’s only at infinity(over 50 meters)when in middle of zoom range. At wide angle and full tele it is ok. At distances under 50 meters it is ok. However, as a workaround, if I set it to mid-zoom and infinity as soon as the camera is powered on, it WILL work. It just fails if I have used other zoom and distance settings before I slide to mid-zoom while powered on.

Olá Luciano, você tem fotos que tirou com ela? Comprei uma hoje e gostaria de saber da qualidade dela.
