BenQ debuts super-slim DC-T800 8 megapixel fashioncam

BenQ's really pulling out all the stops with its new DC-T800 camera, a followup to that T700 camera it was showing off in March. The T800 adds an extra megapixel... and not a whole lot else. In its defense, the T700 was already a pretty well appointed camera, with a 3-inch touchscreen and "super shake-free" functionality, and there's nothing wrong with adding a megapixel to that 0.59-inch thick getup. The T800 also boasts of Face Tracking, in-camera photo editing, 2000 ISO photos, 6400 ISO movies and 30fps 640 x 480 MPEG-4 recording. You should be able to find the T800 just about everywhere that isn't the US sometime in October.

Can we stop making these things flat and thin, and work on making them just overall tiny! Ideally I'd like a small rectangular camera that you could fit on a keychain (that actually took pictures worth posting or printing.)

oh... *sigh*

Face Tracking and Z-Lighting are two pretty big additions - bigger than the extra megapixel. BenQ needs to sort out OIS, though, and stop promoting Super Shake-Free, which just whacks up the ISO.
