BenQ improves on the T700... barely

Hmm, what's this? After the torrent of camera launches in the past two months, we thought we could finally kick back a little and play around with the new cameras in the lab. But no, BenQ had to drop in with a higher-spec T800, right after the T700 made its debut a few months back.

So what's new? Well, not much. It's the same body with same dimensions. Minor differences are the higher megapixel count (8- vs 7.2-megapixels), a larger touchscreen LCD (3 inch vs 2.5 inch), more light sensitivity (ISO 6,400 to ISO 1,200) and support for SDHC in the T800.

Right after the dismal review that the T700 received for its poor low-light performance, the ISO 6,400 setting on the T800 ought to help bolster its score in the next round of reviews.

The T800 will be launched in Thailand by Q4.
