BenQ DC X725 Review at Trusted Reviews

A review of the BenQ DC X725 digital camera has been posted over at Trusted Reviews. ‘At first glance the X725 looks superb. It bears a very strong resemblance to the excellent Casio Exilim EX-S770, even down to the 3x zoom Pentax SMC lens. It is almost exactly the same size as the S770, measuring approximately 93 x 61 x 20mm. I say approximately because I measured it myself. Its official dimensions according to BenQ’s website are 91 x 60 x 14.7mm, and 12.5mm at the thinnest point, which would make it the thinnest 7MP camera in the world.

What they’ve done is made the right-hand end of the camera taper slightly, so they can measure it just on the thinnest edge, but in my opinion that’s cheating. In reality it’s 20mm thick including the retracted lens and LCD monitor, and 15mm across the thinnest part of the body. That’s still pretty remarkably skinny, but it’s not 12.5mm. I don’t have any scales handy, so I can’t check the 120g dry weight, but then that doesn’t sound unreasonable.’
