BenQ Releases 8-Megapixel Digital Camera with 6X Optical Zoom - but not in U.S.

Features 6X optical zoom and an array of manual and automatic options
EUROPE, March 19, 2007 – BenQ last week announced the release of its 8.0-megapixel P860 digital camera which comes with 6X optical zoom. Tailored for users that require both automatic and manual controls, the P860 comes with 7 modes and 12 scene modes that give users control over their photos.
"Many users tell us that they would like to have more control over their photo taking," commented Conway Lee, General Manager of BenQ Digital Media Business Group. "The P860 gives powerful automatic functions as well as provides a depth of manual options to yield great photos."
6X Optical and 5X Digital ZoomEquipped with 6X optical and 5X digital zoom, the P860 lets users take clear, up-close shots and enlargements up to poster size. It also features a 30X total zoom which brings users closer to the action.
Manual & Automatic ModeOffering users four shooting modes (P/Av/Tv/M), the P860 allows users to adjust the most optimum aperture and shutter setting which suits their shooting environment. The BenQ P860 also comes with 12 scene shooting modes which covers a range of shooting environments.
Shake-FreeArmed with features for optimal shooting, the P860 also integrates built-in technologies to minimize image blur, including Shake-Free optical image stabilization. It also has high light sensitivity, up to ISO 1000, to facilitate shooting at higher shutter speeds, as well as low-light conditions for more natural exposures or for settings where flash is not permitted.
The BenQ P860 will be available in Italy, Spain, Russian, and China at the end of March.
