BenQ has launched the DC X725 new digital camera. This follow-on of the award-winning BenQ X720 (now, the ex-slimmest 7 megapixel digital camera in the world) features a 3 x optical zoom with static and video recording modes, smc Pentax (Super Multi-Coating) lens, a sensor resolution of 7 megapixel (½.5 inch CCD image sensor, 3072 X 2304 image resolution) and a crisp 2.5-inch LCD display. It comes in an elegant, thin stainless body at just 12.5 mm, measures 91 x 60 x 14.7 mm and weighs 120 g.

BenQ X725 features an advanced S.S.F. (Super Shake-Free) function which effectively helps reduce image blurs caused by shaky hands, allowing you to capture photo and video with brighter, more clear and natural color. Moreover, the camera supports high light sensitivity of up to ISO 1600 in static mode and up to ISO 4000 in recording mode that will presumably help you take better photos when trying to capture fast moving objects or when taking photos in poor light conditions. No word on the Face Recognition function or ultra-wide-angle zoom (none yet available). The camera lets you record videos at a resolution of 640 x 480 (30 frames per second).


For the more adventurous, a total of 29 different scene modes set up the camera for specific photographic occasions. Other features include PictBridge function that allows you to direct photo printing via a compatible computer, SD card compatibility, 12 MB of built-in memory and support for up to 4G of external memory.

The BenQ X725 is available in 4 colors (black, red, pearl and silver) and will be available starting from May for just 170 Euros.
