LAS VEGAS — General Imaging trotted out 10 new GE-branded digital cameras at PMA, including its first waterproof model.

All of the company’s digital cameras will offer 9-megapixel or higher resolution; face, blink and smile detection; auto scene detection; and a new in-camera panorama mode that automatically creates a wide-angle shot as users pan the camera, rather than having to snap individual images and stitch them after the fact.
