IT Reviews have published a review of the compact BenQ T700 digital camera. 'Weighing in at just 180g plus the battery, this 7-megapixel camera is the first of the T series to have a 3-inch touch-screen display and it's acknowledged to be the world's slimmest. This means you have the largest possible preview of your snaps at a screen resolution of 232,000 pixels. Operating controls are reduced to a minimum, so apart from your on/off and shutter buttons on the top, there's a zoom variation beside the touch screen, alongside menu and playback buttons. Touching the menu button brings up the large scale icons on the display and you can either navigate through them with your finger or by using the supplied touch-pen.'

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.'

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.

A review of the 10-megapixel BenQ DC C1000 digital camera has been posted over at Trusted Reviews. 'The initial impression is of a solidly made and nicely designed camera. The body is half metal and half plastic, and finished in a nice matt black with chrome details. Overall build quality is excellent, with no embarrassing creaks or groans when squeezed. It is quite chunky compared to some more expensive models, and weighs in at a not insubstantial 140g without batteries. It runs on 2x AA’s, so add a couple of Duracells and that weight will go up to a hefty 190g.'
