The GE W1200 and the GE A1235 are consumer-targeted, point-and-shoot digital cameras. It may be hard for you to make an informed buying decision when comparing them because the two cameras are very similar in most respects. The A1235, however, has advantages in several key areas.
Megapixels
The GE W1200 has 12.1 effective image sensor megapixels. The GE A1235 has 12.2 effective image sensor megapixels. Although the A1235's number of megapixels is higher, the difference is so slight that you won't notice it in terms of picture quality.
Optical and Digital Zoom
Both cameras are capable of the same level of optical zoom, 3X. The A1235's digital zoom level of 5.7X is higher than the W1200's 4.5X digital zoom.
Movie Capture Capability
Both cameras are capable of recording video with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. However, the A1235 is capable of recording videos of that resolution at 30 frames per second, while the W1200 can't record at more than 20 frames per second at that resolution. That means the A1235's frame rate is 50 percent higher than the W1200.
LCD Screen
Both cameras have 2.5-inch color LCD screens. The A1235's screen, however, has 230,400 pixels, while the W1200 has 153,600 pixels. This means that the resolution of the A1235's screen is 1.5 times greater than that of the W1200, making the A1235's screen much clearer.
