What the hell? General Electrics will eneter the mirrorless market!

CNET Asia talked with a spokesperson from General Electrics who said that “GE is looking to introduce its first Micro Four Thirds-like camera before the end of 2011“. Interesting that they said “Micro Four Thirds like” and not “mirrorless” or “CSC” or “ILC”. General Electrics is already producing digital cameras (the GE cameras). There are no details about the future mirrorless cameras.

GE leave its niche as anti-human weapons manufacturer and disaster prone fukishima reactor maker, and instead produce something of technological beauty meaning and utility the the human family….. i wonder if its possible , after all zeiss and leica made optical instruments and weapons sights periscopes and the like for nazi germany at one time ,and look at them now

I’m sure it will be a similar rebranding of some brands mirrorless offering, though what is potentially interesting is the cost at which GE normally sold their cameras (relatively cheap).
