Trusted Reviews have published a review of the BenQ DC-T700 ultra-compact digital camera. 'In terms of overall performance the T700 shows its budget camera heritage. Start-up time is very slow at well over four seconds, and in continuous shooting mode it averages around one frame every two seconds, and that’s with a high speed memory card. It is another of those annoying cameras with no audio cue to let you know when it’s taking shots in continuous mode. In single shot mode it is even slower, with a cycle time of around five seconds, and slightly longer if the flash is used. This is odd, because the wide-area AF system is actually fairly quick, and I suspect this is another Pentax component. Low light focusing however is another matter entirely, and is a real problem.'
