Tsk, tsk, BenQ. You know how we like to round up all your cookie-cutter cameras into one post, so we're a little disappointed that you didn't tell us about your new DC E720 at the same time you announced the other
three new members of your consumer lineup yesterday. No matter, we're still committed to bringing our readers all that is new and exciting in the world of digital photography, even if the 7 megapixel E720 doesn't really stand out from the crowd in any discernible manner. With this model, you're basically getting a slimmed down version of the C740 -- they both sport a 3x optical zoom, 2.5-inch LCD, 30fps VGA video mode, and SD card support -- but at only 130 grams and 19.5 millimeters thick, the E720 definitely takes home the "most pocketable" award. No word so far on pricing and availability for this model, but judging from the sparse, negative reaction that yesterday's releases got, we highly doubt that many of you will be seeking this one out, anyway.

this is the camera for me. I like the look and it's features...i must have it!
Jamaipanese: then get the Casio they ripped their design from. The Z600 and Z1000 look almost the same only.. they're real digicams.

That looks surprisingly like my Exilim EX-S500.
^^completely agreed as I have an exilim ex-s500 right in front of me!
When can they come up something with their own design...geez
why all of you said that this camera ripped design from others brand? I think that no problem, same like television, you can find other design beside ?
A small recommendation to BenQ staffers/apologists - non-native English with Chinese grammatical structure equates with a very high likelihood that you are trying to pump a story up and counter-act the negative press anonymously (i.e. without declaring that you actually work for BenQ). Then again... if the previous posters truly believe that this is a new and original product with viable points of differentiation when compared to alternative products, I will hold my tongue.
