Are GE Cameras any good?

I'm thinking about purchasing a GE X500 Power Pro Series Digital Camera, but I'm hesitant because I don't know anything about GE cameras. It's main allure for me is the price, only $149. I've heard that you should only buy cameras from people who have been making them for a long time, ie nikon and canon, but I'm not the financial position to drop half a grand, if not more, on a camera. So I'm basically looking for reviews, advice, opinions, anything that could help me with my decision.
