Manual of product C1440W
Editorial note
The GE C1440W stands out for its exceptional image quality, with a maximum resolution of 4320 x 3240 pixels, allowing for precise capture of every detail. Its 4x optical zoom, combined with a 6x digital zoom, provides the ability to photograph distant subjects with clarity. Additionally, the built-in image stabilizer ensures sharp photos and videos even in motion, and the smile detection feature makes capturing joyful moments intuitive. However, the product has some drawbacks. The maximum video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels may seem limited compared to current standards, where higher resolutions are increasingly expected. The lack of Bluetooth connectivity restricts quick photo sharing options, which can be a disadvantage for modern users. Furthermore, the internal memory of only 8 MB proves insufficient, necessitating the constant use of external memory cards. Finally, manual focus, while offering precise control, can be challenging for beginners. In terms of user experience, the product scores 80, highlighting a generally positive use with intuitive features. The photographic performance is also notable with a score of 75, although the video resolution limits the product's potential. The battery life, with only 140 shots, is a weak point, rated at 60, which can be problematic during extended sessions. The modern design is appreciated, but the score of 70 reflects some frustration due to the absence of Bluetooth. Finally, the value for money is rated at 65, indicating that despite undeniable strengths, the internal memory could be improved to provide a more complete experience.Score details
