GE has received two Gold Awards in the 2010 Summer VGP Digital Camera Grand Prix, a consumer products guide book published in Japan. Thepowerful GE E1486TW and compact GE C1033 digital cameras each received honours for outstanding performance and value.

The prestigious panel of VGP judges, comprising major home electronics retailers, photographers and audiovisual critics, praised GE's expertise in developing “high performance cameras at an economical price.”

The GE E1486TW and GE C1033 were also recognised for their visual appeal. The panel selected the two award-winning GE cameras from among more than 450 camera entries and 80 companies.
