We spent last weekend playing with our review sample of BenQ's DC X720 - apparently the world's smallest 7megapixel digital camera.

The slick chassis certainly looks the business, but photo quality is far more important that a snazzy design and, sadly for BenQ, the DC X720 struggles.

Image noise is rampant, even when shooting in well lit conditions, and it has trouble keeping focus at the edges.

Its slim design will appeal to those who want a camera for nights out, but the similarly styled 6megapixel Nikon Coolpix S6 is now available for around the same price (£179) and capable of taking far better photos - and we very much doubt anyone would miss the extra megapixel.

Full review coming soon...
