BenQ E1000: The metallic shooter

Edvarcl Heng | Aug 07, 2007

When it comes to fashion cameras, it’s the body feminine, not the masculine, that's celebrated. BenQ thinks otherwise. Its second 10-megapixel camera (after the BenQ C1050) has a metallic casing and hue that say sexy cosmopolitan. Indeed, BenQ calls it a celebration of manhood. But we think the Taiwanese firm was not referring to the male geek when it wrote that.

Features on the E1000 are middling. Besides the 10-megapixel image capture, there're very few things to go wow about. Maximum ISO is just 1,600 and optical zoom stretches to only 3x. The internal memory is also just a paltry 6MB and it's not even compatible with SDHC cards. But the saving grace? At least there's a optical image stabilizer.

At press time, BenQ had no availability information for the Asia region.
