We don't expect to see BenQ taking on the major digicam players anytime soon, but the company is showing that
it wants to be taken seriously in the point-and-shoot sector, and to prove it, they're showing off no fewer than six
models at CeBIT. The pack is led by the X610, a 6 megapixel shooter that BenQ bills as the world's slimmest 6-megapixel
camera with a 3-inch LCD (not to be confused with the world's slimmest 5 megapixel cam with a 3-inch LCD, or the world's
slimmest 6 megapixel camera with a 2.5-inch LCD, of course). The X610 also features the standard point-and-shoot specs:
3X optical zoom, 30 fps VGA movie mode and USB 2.0. The rest of the lineup is divided into three series: the Elegance
series includes the previously announced 6-megapixel E600, which has a rotating lens that BenQ says makes zooming
faster (pictured) and 5-megapixel E520 . The Classic series features the 5-megapixel C530 and 6-megapixel C30, and the
Performance series features the P500, which has a 5X optical zoom.

I'm really not diggin the whole, off-center lense in the lense bit... Maybe its just me... Oh, and I would _never_ buy a BenQ digital camera... Something about "Nikon" or "Canon" or "Sony" just has a nice ring to it, even "Konica Minolta". But "BenQ" makes me feel dirty...
Yeah, I dont think I'd be confortable to be a Benq camera.
i do really like the performance of my BENQ DC E600. it does help me a lot doing my part time jobs. What bothers me is that the battery always runs out quickly does putting my jobs in trouble especially during product shooting. I tried to checked with store where I bought my camera but they said there is no spare battery for sale. What must I do now if its battery will be totally out of service?
